Pair of pussies compared to the guy on the R1, he started in 2001 and is still doing it, anyone can go round the world with unlimited budgets

Yeeeesss, but the guy on the R1 probably didn't ride it up to his neck in flowing rivers eh?

[Dr Nick]

[Villers]

yeeeeees but the guy on the R1 isnt a primadona and hasnt got the good fortune for a truck capable of crossing the atlantic with three bikes and people on the back turning up and helping him with every river crossing.

2001? He must have hit amsterdam or something on the way across and is still spending his inheritance in some succky sucky club!

TBH i found Mondo Enduro more interesting than a pair of prettyboys being towed over russia. 6 mates going around the world on crossers, properly round the world not jus through europe and part of asia.

Long Way Round is cool, well filmed etc, but Mondo Enduro is better

I too thought it was a great show.

Basically the bits they wanted to put in and didn't have time to on the original DVD. Plus if they have room some funny stuff that went to the cutting room floor.
It is likely to be on SKY Travel in the Summer?? Then I suppose a new DVD will be out shortly after. Going to have to buy it again DOH!

Watch the Dakar too this year as Charley is entering it. Not sure if it will be on a 650 or this brute.

I thought it was a great programme. I don't think the idea of it was to make it as difficult as possible, it was basically 2 mates who wanted to go on a really big bike ride and visit some really interesting places. if I was going on a round the world bike trip and someone offered me support crews and a cameraman hell, I'd take that.
