No sooner finished Charley's Dakar A&E book and he's off again.

Right. So this time there's Charley, Ewan, Claudio the lens and loads of hangers-on in the chase-cars, but who's the other bloke on the third GS that looks like a stunt double for Ewan? Don't tell me it's Ewan's brother.

As for subliminal messages are we looking at a future limited edition GSA with loadsa bolt-ons and choice of African livery!

Good luck to them

Glad they're not carrying so much crap this time

Looking at the roof rack on the Jeep going with them I'm surprised they are carrying anything at all.

Totally unimpressed.

We know enough real travelers hanging around here to go all OTT about these to dip sticks.

Good luck to them

I think Charley looks rather Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!

I can't wait for the DVD & book to come out

ooh, and the t-shirt etc etc etc etc

We didn't need to 'cos you had your leopard print pants flapping away on your top box as they dried..

Yup they seem to learn like the rest of us.... I've just ditched my Outdoor rug, camping slippers and portable ornament of an Officer with his Chocolate coloured Labrador

HOPE the NEW 1200GSAs hold up to the job... :augie

Probably realised it's easier for the back up crew to carry them, unless they only appear when being filmed

Weather was Dreadfull yesterday so Hats off to them !! Didn't see too many bikes on the road so a good test for the Boys!! Good to see it Start!! :thumb2

lastcard · May 14, 2007

Good luck to`em :thumb2

I know all the arguments about back up crew, but Ewbie seems a decent bloke and he probably needed to negotiate with film bod`s and insurance companies etc.etc And Charley`s gotta do summat! Looking forward to seeing,hearing,reading there story.

How long they gonna take to get to Africa?

V2 TRV · May 14, 2007

Looking forward to it

apart from Ewan's moralising :mmmm

Timolgra · May 14, 2007

Lucky gits, wish I was going :clap

......on an 1150ADV

Despite all the arguments over the amount of support and back up they have, if LWR was anything to go by it provides us GS'ers and thousands more with fantastic entertainment and a conversation piece.

Let's hope they don't feck the Canbus by welding the frame :hide

Urban Rider · May 14, 2007

Good luck to em all..........

LWR was played a big part in inspiring me to buy a GS..... Don't care what anyone says about them or their crew without Ewan and Charlie doing LWR the GS would not have been the best selling model of 2005 or anywhere near as popular as it is today....... :rob

After LWD airs on TV I'll bet the sale of 1200 GSA's goes through the roof.....

GOOD LUCK GUYS.....

It must have been said before, but KTM must be kicking themselves. I hope LWD
isn't all roads, looking forward to seeing Charlie doing a lot better off-road.

marcus · May 14, 2007

where's the support van with all the camera crew etc....... :mmmm

ELIMINATOR · May 14, 2007

I hope that this time it is more in depth. I feel that LWR could easily have ran several more episodes, some countries were just bypassed, or only merited (to them) a short film clip.

It would be nice if we could be privvy to the maintenace that happens to the bikes during the event as well.

yes the boys do seem to have there share of knockers :nenau

if you dont like them/it why buy/watch them.
the LWR was a great trip/dvd/tv series amidst the everyday mundame crap we have to endure.
lets hope the new trip is as good or better

best of luck and a safe passage.

I agree. Me too. Seeing that on TV inspired me to take my bike test - and then to buy myself a GS.
