Anybody watching Charley Boorman, Extreme Frontiers ? Gotta be worth a watch Loved "long way round " and " Long way down " .. The Dakar 1 was alright but didn't watch much of the any way he can or what ever that was called
I know some re going to say they hate him but I enjoy stuff like this with him. Why, it's got bikes, you can see th world and its much better than x factor, celeb crap, etc...
I thought every body liked Charley ,, I think he is funny .. As you said mate . Bikes , Culture , no wanna be pop stars . Bargain
A Fat painter and Decorator who has latched onto bikes .He was with Chris Walker at the NEC about 4 years ago got my photo with Chris but blanked the Bore-man.
Think he's a bit of a cock too.... Fair play though, made a decent career out of bikes with no real riding talent and having friends and family in right places. Will still watch it though as you rightly say, better than all the shite that's on. That said, I've never made it through a whole series of his without getting bored and not bothering to watch the last half... Just wish someone with real character could be given his budget / production to make a top notch bike show.
It's not that I think he's terrible, always see him giving it large at the shows and think.... Twat. There are some proper legends out there who you'd forgive for having that kind of ego, but are proper down to earth blokes... Last year at nec me and dad were admiring barry's old race bike and whitam walks over says hello, has a natter with dad about how you can tell it's a factory bike via the manifold set up is different than the production bikes and then fires it up so we can listen to it... And let's me rev it up!! My kind of bloke... Ask boreman about one of his 'adventures' and you will prob get same response by good pal got "it's all in the book mate"
Again not that impressed (fantastic efforts, adventures and books) but my pal above is doing a -Charity ride - asked him for some advice and got a bit of a fuck off tablet??
Only what he can carry on the bike... Self funded (unless corporate sponsorship comes his way) and totally on his own!! I'll tell you later about his plans - what he is planning is Truly epic Don't get me wrong, not just slagging these guys off, great at what they do, and like their stuff, just don't particularly like them... Think they are a bit up there arses from what I've seen an heard
Whaaaaatt ? Iv just lost faith in him !! lol Its all in the book ?? Iv never read a book in my life lol
Yeah Giv', you should go with him, mate. Anything to get rid of you for a couple of months, and the TV would be hilarious. An idiot abroad with Ewan McGregors mate.
