Has anyone seen the documetary series The Long Way Round where Ewan McGregor and Charlie Boorman travel round the world on two BMW R1150GS Adventurer motor bikes?
I have seen the whole series of documentaries about it and read the book as well.
There is some part of me that would like to do something similar.

Read the book this year while on holiday, and thought it was excellent. When I got home, I ordered the DVD, and to actually see it in film was even better. Not sure I would like to do something similar, as It looked liked they got in quite a few hairy situations.

I think it might be a jolly good wheeze actually and I've been considering the possibility of doing something similar myself.

Has anyone thought of doing something similar? If I had the money I would love to do something similar.

do it on a bike..
but i mean a proper bike...
i make the distance of the trip round the world to be 27k miles....
so say you can do 10mph constantly. you would do 100 miles a day in 10 hours, it would take you 270 days to ride around the world.
if i can ever get the money behind me i know what im doing with a year. a ride round the world may sound like a mad mad mad idea, but 100 miles a day? thats p!ss...
hmmm......
