In the first series they were admitted newbies, but now they have done it, they should be able to steer the discussion and equipment selection.īack when they did LWR, helmet to Helmet was stuff of NASA and F1 teams, now SENA can connect 30 riders at once. Under subjects to cover in the next chapter is get some more detail into the equipment. If I could put a shout out to the community to give them a rallye point (mid Rockies, Beartooth pass, Santa Monica Mountains, whatever) and the collective bike community come together for a Sturgis on Steroids (or is Sturgis already on ‘roids?) “Welcome E&C to USA bikers etal (yes get OC Choppers and Malcolm Smith to join in). I honestly can’t wait.”įirst and foremost, I am VERY much looking forward to the result. “We are all dead keen to make it happen so fingers crossed we will be able to do it in 2019. With BMW set to reveal the new R1250GS for 2019, the white and blue marquee could potentially be their weapon of choice. However, Charley is currently brand ambassador for Triumph and Ewan for Moto Guzzi. Ewan and Charley used the BMW R1150GS Adventure for the “Long Way Round” and the R12000GS Adventure for the “Long Way Down”. The big question is what motorcycles would they take this time. “It will be work, but it will also be great fun and to do it with the old team of Ewan, Russ Malkin (the producer of the first two adventures), and the rest of the Long Way crew will be fantastic.” “It will definitely take a few months, South America is a beautiful continent to ride through so we won’t want to rush it,” said Boorman. An expedition that would cover about 15,000 miles and last several months. The route hasn’t been locked-in yet but the journey will most likely start in the southernmost part of South America (Ushuaia, Argentina) and continue all the way up to the northernmost point of Alaska. The new TV series is set to be called ‘Long Way Up’ and according to Charley, they’ll be getting the old team back together with producer Russ Malkin and the rest of Long Way Round/Down film crew.
