Editorial Review:
Collectors Edition Box Set contains Long Way Round, Race To Dakar & Long Way Down. 8 DVD set containing a massive 24 1/2 hours! Take three trips of a lifetime in the company of best friends Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman, as they straddle their beloved motorbikes and cross unlikely terrain to reach some of the world's most far-flung corners. Powering through notoriously desolate countryside, they ride from London to New York via Europe, Ukraine, Russia, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Siberia and Canada In Long Way 'Round, and from the northernmost tip of Scotland descending through Western Europe and Africa to South Africa's southernmost point in Long Way Down. These DVD stories cover their adventures and misadventures while they soak up the most incredible natural and cultural wonders. In Race to Dakar, Boorman recounts his extraordinary experience as he tackles the toughest race on earth - The Dakar Rally.
Long Way Round (Deluxe) Long Way Down (Deluxe) Race To Dakar - Complete 8 DVD Box Set Reviews:
A true adventure 
2009-10-22 - If you are into motorcycles, you should own this epic collection. If you aren't into motorcycles, I recommend you see this collection and I'm sure afterwords you will be into motorcycles. What an adventure! On a more personal note, The best one is Long Way Round. Then Long Way Down. Then Race to Dakar. LWD seemed too rushed and not as epic as LWR. The series leaves me wanting MORE! As for Race to Dakar, it's a good production. In fact I'd like to see the team go again. The next one: Long Way Up, bottom of south america to the top of north america??

Long Way on Motorcycles....
2009-10-11 - I bought this for my husband (although we BOTH ride motorcycles) and I was surprised to find that I enjoyed it just as much, if not more, than he did. It was wonderfully produced and directed. Claudio did a great job on the camera and the editing was superb. It makes us all want to try the long trips...although I think I'll start with just staying on tarmac in my own country! What amazing adventures! I only wish the language would have been toned down so that we might have been able to share it with our children. THAT was unfortunate.
All about the journey
2009-10-06 - This was so much more than I expected it to be...a commentary on life, on travel, on adventure, on freedom, and on risk. This was an extremely moving journey. Thanks to Ewan and Charlie for undertaking this trek and letting us come along.
Great Collection...
2009-09-24 - Long Way Down it's way much better than Long Way Round but I believe that both trips are like the Holy Grail of motorcycle trips...
