The guys gave us the incentive to make our own trips, as we say its not the destination that counts its the ride there, we will be looking forward to following the trip.
Thanks for watching this video! I've been working on more ideas for this channel. I'd like to cover Motorcycles and maybe other types of travel (Bike Packing). So stay tuned and any ideas welcome, within reason! All the best. - Alex
I don't think the geopolitical climate would allow it but I'd love to see "Long Way Back" where they ride the original route from Long Way Round in reverse. I'd love the idea of going back to the same locations a couple of decades later to see what's changed, for better or worse, and what's stayed the same, for better or worse. I don't think they'll venture out quite that much again though.
I really enjoy watching these tours, the last one, long way up wasnt as good because it seemed to be more about everything peripheral to the actual adventure but not alot about what made the others fun to watch, always wondered why they havent done asia, I've riden through indonesia , island hopping, most of vietnam and bits of thailand, and thought it would make a great destination for their type of adventure.....
It were a very good documentations, Long Way Round and Long Way Down. Because of watching them, I bought a BMW GS and enjoyed it 10 years. But all the others were not necessary!
LWU was hard to watch Charlie , it seemed to be wrong bikes , the wrong company , the wrong countries , and the wrong means of propulsion. You & Ewan cruising around Italy on retro bikes eating pasta wouldn’t have been hard-core but it would have been great to watch.
@@BritBikeAdventures Yep, they were the wrong bikes. It would have been better with the DSR/X or the Experia. They just weren't available yet. You can find out what you can do with an eMotorbike here at Marc Travel. He also had the misfortune that the more suitable eMotorcycles only came out after he started travelling.
I love these two dudes and their motorcycle adventures. But Long Way Up was painful to watch. Electric motorcycles just aren’t there for that kind of adventure.

Good to see them back. Loved all their adventure series, except last one on the electric bikes. Didn’t even bother to watch. Real bikers have no interest in that rubbish and that’s the audience these guys aim for. Keep it real boys and stick with proper motorbikes and you will always have us bikers wanting to watch.
How do you define a ‘real’ motorcyclist? I, for example, have been riding a motorbike since 1980. Even in good weather. I now also have an e-motorbike next to the other old bikes in the stable. And you can go touring on it too.
@ you are one of few my friend. All of the motorcyclists I know have no interest in them. I was on the Isle of Man for the first TT ZERO, and I witnessed all the old timers turning their backs on the track. Not many stayed to watch the race. I think it’s not just love of the motorcycle but the combustion engine. The feel, the sound, the smell. It is all part of it. Each to their own but I have no interest in e bikes, I feel they lack character and soul. I swear my combustion engines bikes have souls and personalities, atleast I speak to them as if they do. 😂😂
Got to love the Guzzi for it’s laid back style!
Cheers and good luck. I met you in Calgary. I was the guy who beat Ewans bags back into shape
I hope BMW knows just how much these two dudes did for their motorcycle company.
I’ve ❤ every season!!

That's a great idea, might have to wait a while for that one haha! 😆

Completely agree, let's hope it gets back to its original roots. I found LWU hard to finish!

I actually think there’s no “wrong” bike. Look at C90 Adventures and see what Ed March does. If you’re on two wheels, it doesn’t matter.
So many people do these trips now that aren't famous and they also don't have all the back up the whole way.

I’d love to watch it, but I don’t have Apple TV so it ain’t gonna happen anytime soon…

Adventure touring with following cars, vans and shit, can not be hard. Do it’s real to give the audience something interesting.
The robotic ?? AI ?? Voiceover prevents me from more than 30 seconds of a watch
