Along the way the intrepid pair encountered Kalashnikov-toting gangsters and extreme cuisine, survived numerous motorised scrapes often whilst traversing non existent roads days from the nearest hospital and found themselves alarmingly close to a hungry grizzly bear.

 Rating forDVD format problem and not content. Beware Amazon return window. January 14, 2010
L. Davis (East Coast US)
If I was able to actually "play" this DVD, I would give you a rating on the DVD content. Instead this rating reflects the ordeal we've endured just get the DVD to play. In early September, I ordered "Long Way Round" from Amazon. At the same time I ordered "Race to Dakar" from Movie Mars. Good thing I Christmas shop early, because although Amazon *indicated* the "Long Way Round" DVD was in stock when ordered, it took over a month to arrive. Apparently, it was not in stock. Both DVDs were Christmas gifts. Out of the box, neither "Race to Dakar," or "Long Way Round" would play in the home player. (a player which is fine BTW) It is now January 14th and we've yet been able view these DVDs. Movie Mars responded to my email indicating they may have sent a DVD meant for international markets. I checked, but the DVDs were not marked for international. An email to Amazon was unanswered, save for the automated you are beyond Amazon's return window. (BTW, AMAZON Verrry nice customer service. I'll remember this and support local retailers if at all possible) However, I was able to get the DVDs to play on a neighbor's portable DVD player. So yesterday, I purchase a brand new Sony DVD player from Best Buy. But, yet again, the DVDs ordered from both of the Amazon sellers will not play. Back to Best Buy. Fortunately for me this time, I spoke with a BB employee who could actually diagnose the problem with these DVDs, leading to the purchase of yet a 2ND BRAND NEW Toshiba DVD player from BB. Now, $120.00 and 2 brand new DVD players later, and I will finally be able to watch these DVDs.
 Great motorycle 'movie' November 25, 2008

Like a good book, we just couldn't put it down. Great motorcycle tale, with peerless peaks into the lives of ordinary people living in challenging environments, reflecting the goodness of mankind too.
You'll laugh, cry, hoot, and at the same time, learn a different perspective of other peoples around this globe.
I hated that there are two version; the one for the US that did not show the US section of their trip, and the other version, which did. What's up with that???

Would purchase from this person again.

Excellent DVD, my wife and I put the kids to bed, jumped under a blanket on the couch, and with a cup of tea, intended to watch just 1 episode. 4 hrs later, we dragged ourselves to bed, with a date to watch the second disc the next night. All this on a school nite !
I have lent the dvd to a few mates, and they each say the same thing, it is a very entertaining show and you cant watch just one episode. Not since 'Band of Brothers' have we sat through several episodes in one session. Now, where's my helmet woman..
