Review
Documentary series following actor Ewan McGregor and best friend Charley Boorman as they undertake a mammoth motorbike ride from London to New York - going the long way round.

I realise that it has been pointed out that it's on Sky Travel already, but I figured that as it took me a moment to realise that it was a freeview channel, I'd try and help everyone else out...

Top Tip!

I had given up hope of seeing it, as I don't have 'posh telly' but I do have a freeview box woo-hoo!

Perhaps they were concerned that tyhe bikes might go the way of many of their bikes in the reliability department. Despite belief to the contrary it seems there are a few issues in that area.
Am I right in saying the chaps used 1150GS's? Tried and tested by now, at least.
