Long Way round was pretty entertaining. Convinced me not to try to ride huge bikes like theirs on crazy stuff like they tried to do. I'd rather do it on my Fargo anyway.

They convinced me to have supplied trucks taking up the rear as a back up... Fake adventure!

I still liked watching them. But I just remembered that their planned trip has already been done by bicycle, though I think always going AK to Argentina. I still think the show will be worth watching.
