Anyone seen this documentary? The basic idea is to ride motorcycles from London to NY the long way around. Ewan McGregor and Charlie Boorman do this on two BMW motorcycles. Talk about inspiration to travel. My old driver, Brian Moody, and his wife have sold off all of their stuff, rally cars, parts, furniture, etc. and bought a Nissan Pathfinder and Brian is modifying the truck to drive them around the world. They are going to start in Denver, drive all the way down south through S. America. Then boat trip to southern tip of Africa and up the western coast of Africa, trip through Dakar area and on some Dakar roads, up to Mediterranian, boat across to Europe (probably Spain or Portugal) and then across Europe, Russian, Mongolia, Siberia, up to Bering Strait, then over to Alaska and back down through Canada to Denver. They are planning for 15 months for the trip.
It should be pretty cool and exciting if they can pull it off.
Anyhow, if you haven't seen the show/movie, I suggest it. It's a good watch but may cause you to rethink this whole rally car crap we waste all our money on. For about a minute.
