Long Way Round (Deluxe) Long Way Down (Deluxe) Race To Dakar - Complete 8 DVD Box Set Reviews:
Perfect!!! 
2009-12-28 - I had seen "Long Way Down" in the theater last year and I absolutely loved it. It is a mix of personal video diary and documentary, and the story of two friends who ride their motorcycles from the top of Scotland to the tip of South Africa, including footage of their rides, the landscapes, some of the sights, the various encounters with people in the countries they traveled, and their experiences. I had been contemplating buying a BMW motorcycle, albeit a different model, but after watching this film became a fan of the R1200GS bikes that were ridden and a few months later went and bought one.
The film is inspiring in that it makes you want to go out and do something similar. Having seen "Long Way Down" I knew I wanted to see "Long Way Round", which is the first film or documentary of their first trip together. It did not disappoint either. Both are well produced and it is difficult to not want to watch all the DVDs back-to-back. Rounding out the DVD Box set is the Race To Dakar, also done in the same way, this time it is just Charlie Boorman and his part in the famous race to Dakar. All three movies are incredible - fun to watch and it gets you wanting an adventure of your own going.
The price is absolutely great and I haven't seen it anywhere for less. I don't know if it would work overseas, but here in the U.S. it works just fine. I think it is a must have for any person interested in motorcycles, travel, friendship and adventure.
This documentary pulls at your own dreams for adventure
2009-12-12 - I purchased the first movie, " Long Way Round" and loved it. I lent it to a friend and he moved and it was never returned to me. I wanted watch the documentary again so purchased another dvd. Some time had passed since my original purchase of Long Way Round and the team of Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman had gone on two more motorcycle adventures. They now sell a box set conisting of three different motorcycle trips. All three are awesome movies to watch. Even though Mcgregor and Boorman seem to have the money to take these trips, it moves you to think about seeking out your own adventure and living life. P.S. They sell the DVD'S as TV Series.
excellent
2009-12-06 - this product is fantastic i recommend it to every adventure rider out there ,it shows so many things about how to prepare for an adventure ride and also how we have a wrong idea about the rest of the word.
GET OUT THERE AND FIND OUT FOR YOURSELF.
as much fun as you can have without actually riding your motorcycle
2009-11-30 - It goes without saying that this is a great documentary and a lot of fun for motorcycle enthusiasts or adventure travelers. The people involved in this journey are charismatic and very real, you can't help but feel that you know them. Ewan and Charlie are a great compliment to one another, but I believe that most of these types of comments are in others reviews. Its just very true. After viewing the video I have started to plan my own adventure and have run into others that have been inspired to do the same or have already done it because of this video which is what its suppose to be about anyway. I'm sure I'll be watching it again.

2009-11-23 - This was a fantastic adventure!!! If you ride motorcycles and travel on them, this is a must for you!!! You feel like you are right there with the riders. My husband and I were so sad when we ended the final DVD disc, meaning that the journey had come to an end! Come the winter months I won't be surprised if we start the adventure over again. It is excellent!!!
