That route is much more badass then Ewan Mcgregor's

Good luck to them and hopefully a safe trip

We met Ewan and Charlie at one of the BMW meetings, really funny people and very down to earth. They (Ewan and Charlie) are planning an African tour and Charlie is in training right now for the Dakar.

They both seem like really cool guys that I'd love to hang out and have a beer with.

Charlie looked pretty comfortable on the bike with Ewan next to him constantly falling and holding him up, I wonder how he is going to do in a race as serious as the Dakar though.

All I can say is "Wow". It'll be a test of stamina as well as will. Best wishes to both of them.

We (all of us back home) are jealous but very wary. End of the day Africa and Sth America just isnt safe. But can you imagine the fun they will have and stories to tell!

$35K each plus bikes, roughly. You want to play you have to pay the money.
