In my defense I did start to watch the most of the first video, but my curiosity took over and I needed to know everything right away. Looks like a must have for the DVD collection.

it's definatly adictive... I'm glad I caught on late though... I'd fuck'n hate to have to wait for the next episode... shit it's killing me now because I had to wait all day and just finished Episode 3 and episode 4 isn't done downloading yet! (5 is though

)

You know you can pick up the DVD set for $19.99. That way you don't have to wait to download. They even carry them at cycle gear if you have one near you.

Long way round is one of my favorite series. I haven't seen long way down yet. I need to pick that up soon.

really? amazon still has it for 35-40! and nope... no cycle gears in Korea

We've watched Long Way Around several times. Absolutely love it. GOD, if that doesn't make you want to go adventure riding, nothing will. Just amazing...

Haven't managed to get the newer one yet, but I also hear Charlie is (or was) working on a similar type series on the Dakar rally.

Mr Lefty · 04-07-2008, 04:59 PM

yeah it's called the Race to Dakar... I'm downloading that too

I'll buy all of them I'm sure... just wanna get the whole set... not the 7 searies sets..
