Good for BMW!

Still entertaining though, good timing to sell DVDs for Xmas, and a welcome way of spending the BBCs money. 8-10 (Plus MOTD2) BBC2 Sundays will become regular viewing time for me over the next couple of months

Shame Ted Simon never had the cameras following him in the 1970s - Now that really would have been worth watching!

I'm reading Jupiter's travels at the moment. Bloody great. You know Ted Simon did it again a few years ago?!

Lonw Way Round inspired me to buy a ten year old Hona Transalp. He he he. Going to the South of France on it next year hopefully. We all have to start somewhere.

Anything that get bikes on the telly is fan-f*ckin-tastic as far as I am concerned

What like that robbery that was done in a Kensington Jewellers where the robbers got away on an R6? He he he

Yep

I didn't know that. I'm also reading this book.

He seems to be doing about 200 miles a day in the book!

I reckon this latest Long Way is far too commercial. I also think that Charlie looks like a firefighter in his jacket and Ewan looks like he's got his PJs on!
