Long way up

[Suspender Sue]

Same as the long way down and the long way round, except they’re doing it with electric vehicles. Up from the tip of South America, up to LA

halfway through the first one. Any watched it yet?

I’d give my left nut to do a motorbike tour like that.

Think I saw @Lambchops started it last night

Will definitely look. Has the Darien Gap got a road through yet?

Also, are the original series on Dailymotion or Youtube?

Anyone still watching this? It’s enjoyable tho not as good as the other two. The desperate attempts to introduce tension into it is a little irritating.

not as irritating as Ewan’s ex is the second one.

I really enjoyed long way round, thought long way down was unimpressive, still I’ll watch this if I can.

Going to re-watch that this weekend. A very pleasurable Saturday planned. This till 9pm local time then Cheltenham races.

this is the bloke who inspired them to start these motorbike trips. i'm sure they met him on one of their jollies.

Some of the stuff on the first one was mental however staged it may have been
A had a R1150 gsa, they're a massive handful and sold it because of that and I rode enduros for years

I really like them. I'd never heard of Rivian until this.

I doubt many had before this. Definitely getting good exposure from it.

just started on this, first 3 episodes were pretty poor, just bleating on about charging the bikes constantly. starting to get into it now. my dream is explore south america

 

[leyburnrunner]

First one, across Europe and Asia was excellent. Some comedy gold spending a night in some Albania gangster's mansion.

 

[Super Ted]

What channels it on?

aye it was class the first one, with minimal internet and no smart phones etc.. it was much more of an adventure.

What channels it on?

nee idea, i've got it on my dodgy box

Thought it was canny but still think Charlie Boorman is a bit of a prick.

He's a whiny spoilt brat.

aye he's a bit irritating in his public-schoolboy way, but McGregor comes across as genuinely a decent chap

 

[oROSSo]

What channels it on?

Apple TV

 

[jacko100]

Then part in the long way down where they went to where Star Wars was filmed and nobody recognised mcgregor was hilarious. He was genuinely gutted!

 

[Super Ted]

Apple TV

Cheers, will give it a go.

Cheat with the bus imo , took a few episodes to get started then they seemed to completely forget to mention the charging point pressure , cheated with a bus and ending felt very rushed

But saying all that I really enjoyed it

Aye. 'Range anxiety' was a real issue the first few episodes but then suddenly evaporated. They spent more screen time doing the bus up than actually travelling on it. I think on that last episode they went from the bottom of Mexico to LA in about 30 minutes. I suspect that was down to the lack of material as they couldn't be arsed with it anymore.
