 Christmas gift for hubby February 8, 2010
N. BRIM
I purchased this DVD set for my husband (BMW motorcycle enthusiast) as a Christmas gift. He has already watched all of the DVD's multiple times. I have even watched a few episodes with him:-) Hubby loves the footage as they prepare for their trips, info on their choice of gear, and traveling with Ewan and Charley on their journey. We would rate this five stars, with the exception of Charley's bad habit of cursing, and we are not fans of bad language.
Addicting series February 8, 2010
D. Paxton (Nashville, TN)
I could not stop watching this. It is a great series. My only complaint is the language. Had these guys toned down the innapropriate language I could have shown this to my family and they would understand why I love to adventure tour. Had to watch it on my mini dvd with headphones on. Charlie Boorman, in Long Way Down, is even worse with the language.

I came upon "Long Way Down" on a reality TV station. I couldn't get enough of Ewan & Charley. I learned there were more adventures by these 2. I highly recommend all three! Once you watch one episode, you can't wait to watch another! I've also given as gift.
Loved It January 30, 2010
Sharon (Medford, Oregon United States)
This is great fun to watch. If you like adventure, seeing the world and motorcycles. You will love this. We borrowed the Long way Down from a friend and loved it. We then saw the first movie Long Way Around. Sorta backwards but liked it so much we got it for my son-in-law for Christmas. He rides motorcross and has been to Africa so thought he would like it. Very long DVDs so we would watch the different chapters throughout the few weeks it took us to watch. It is amazing how the film crew and the 2 motorcycle guys kept their humor even in the difficult times they faced. Would give as a gift again and maybe get us a copy. Very cheap at Amazon for the many hours of tape.
Exiting all the way through!! January 27, 2010
Hans Magnusson (Salem, OR, USA)
We really enjoyed watching these documentaries. Actually we had already seen them one time when I bought them on Amazon. I can totally recommend these to anyone who likes to learn about different cultures and see beautiful views from a lot of different countries. It gives you a feeling that you are actually there with them (Charlie & Ewan) since they are really down-to-earth in everything they do.
