ENOUGH!! ENOUGH!! DAMN, THIS IS GIVING ME A HEADACHE!! :blushing:

I don't doubt that they entertained people. But if they were Bill and Bob from Manchester they'd have been slated by everyone for doing it wrapped in cotton wool. That's my point. I suspect lots of people watched it because Ewan was in it (not so sure about the other guy though).

Honestly.....please trust me, it definitely isn't anything to get too excited about! :nono:

1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10.......and breath!!!:scooter:

I think this is going a little round in circles now, somewhat less than productive and certainly further away from the initial post than C&E ever rode on a motorbike, free or otherwise.

Chris: You seem caught in a cross-fire and that can't be very pleasant.
I will say that the tone of your initial post on this did not send me the same message and it did come aross as C&E bashing.
If that was just miscommunication, as your later posts suggest then I feel people should take you at you word. Particularly, as you pointed out, this is a question of personal opinion.

Contrary to your first post, your later posts on the subject seem more reasonable: I agree that they did bitch about their trip in LWD.

I would moot that LWR was far more natural and candid, and any complaints about the trip would have been down to inexperience of how long these things take, hence their own fault if LWD was a stress... my take on the programme.

So I suggest that we let this topic take a well needed nap...

you can please some of the people some of the time,but you can't please all of the people .....or something like that.

you may love it...you may hate it...But if it make's Jo Public more aware of us lot on two wheel's ,,,, then that can't be a bad thing can it ?

and if you had to watch eastenders and corrie...or the LWR..LWD ,then I know which one I would watch
:mchappy:

Money Raised for CHAS

On the LWD, both Ewan and Charley raised money for CHAS, I recently had a weekend with Ewan's Father in Applecross raising more money for this great cause. There were over 100 bikes in Applecross on the Sunday, these bikers did not need to do this, just as I and his Father and Colin who organised the run. If people with fame can help others, then lets praise them, I think E&C are great, they have done a lot of positive things for the biking world and raised money. Three cheers for them.

Tourman:funmeteryes:

Good post Chris My views exactly mate!
Cheers
Dingo down under

Warthog, thank you for reading my opinion the way it was intended.
Dingo, it's nice to see I'm not the only crazy person here!!

Yes Warthog, I agree, this post has somehow gone a bit mad. I simply gave an opinion and there were those who not only disagreed with me but appeared to be almost personally insulted at the same time. Strange, I know....... but then it takes all kinds of crazies to make a world, doesn't it?? lol

Opinions are wonderful, someone might like mine and someone else mightn't. And vice versa!

Chris

PS.....I still haven't changed my mind though!! lol :clap:

Anyone that is interested in following Charley and Claudio's progress should check out the links on here.

If you are not .............then don't ! :D

I'm quite sure it's interesting and useful.

Chris

Chris you're 50% right.

Ha ha alex

50% right will do for me. I'll let others make up their own minds about the interesting and useful options and which one is accurate. Perhaps to some people I am also 0% right and to others I'll be 100% right!!:thumbup1:

Chris

Charley and about 1500 other motorbike went by our place on the Northern Beaches,Sydney, NSW Australia about 3 weeks ago to start his new film By Any Mean 2...to bad I didn't have a bike at the time...cheers.

I personally couldn't care less if C+E never get on a bike again.

"We're hardcore," they say over and over again. And then they proceed to get everything handed to them for free, they get specialist SAS training to deal with bandits, they get "fixers" at every bend in the road, they ride through a river then describe it as "the biggest challenge of our lives", they have a tough 200 mile day then get a 5* hotel in which to recover, they camp out for a few nights then think they have almost become nomads of the land, they throw thespian tantrums with a few swear words to boot and they reckon they are "pioneers" for motorcycle travellers.

NO THEY AREN'T. They're 2 spoilt boys who happen to like bikes. Don't get me wrong, I am quite sure we would all jump at such a trip if given the chance and I have no gripe with them for taking advantage of the opportunities that have presented themselves. In fact, I would even go as far as to say....well done chaps, you manipulated your positions well.

But "hardcore" ?????
Not on your nelly, C+E, if you want "hardcore" just take a look at the guys who did Mondo Enduro and Terra Circa.........and lots of other people who submit their travel tales on sites such as this one (which doesn't include me by the way coz my bike travels have never gone outside Europe. But then I'm not claiming any titles either!). I'd like their shows much better and I'd respect them much more if they simply got on with the trips and stopped making reference to how they are experts, tough guys, macho men and whatever other ludicrous claims they make. Coz they really aren't any of these in comparison to other everyday bike travellers.

Like I said earlier......it's just my opinion, but I believe it's an opinion based on fact (and not jealousy!).

Chris

Its called Irony try and grow a sense of humor.

Yes phtest.......I reckon you should indeed do thaT.

have watched the series a good few times and dont remember much of this happening, in fact the opposite and ewan admits over and over how inexperienced he is and that if was nto for all people that they met that helped them they may not have done trip.

but hey as few lads have said already e+c have brought bikes back into the good books in the media and have draw some good lads and lassies into biking and they are very welcome.
