Default Long Way Round

Anyone else planning on watching this or reading the book?

I saw Ewan McGregor on Leno last night talking about it and it seems like it's going to be a good show/book.

Well he did ride his bike around the ******* world so I think it's safe to say he likes motorcycles

He's supposedly a motorcycle nut

I'm sure he's more of a nut than most of us. Plus he could afford to buy any bike he wants. Lucky bastard!

Rumor has it the UK DVD is pretty good but I don't know enough about PAL versions of DVDs to know if it'll work on mine. Anyone know anything about this?

I read the book, and watched the DVD's - both were really entertaining in different ways. I felt like the DVD's glossed over a lot of details about the trip that the book was really good at bringing out.

I've seen a lot of hate on the book/movie that these guys are just a bunch of rich ******* with support vehicles carting themselves around the world. In a way, true... but they could've taken an easier route without support vehicles too. I'm not sure if I could've negotiated some of the stuff they made it through - it sure wasnt easy, and I'd like to do something like that when I'm a rich ******.
