doesn't sound much like the 'heart of the Amazon Rain Forest' if they're going to be having an international footy match there!!

Positive motorcycling in the media
No matter what we may think, documentaries such as these get motorcycling into the main stream, my wife came home from work and said everyone had watched it and was talking about it.
Now if that gets more bums on saddles then it can only be a good thing for motorcycling as a whole
I watched the show and enjoyed it, as a biker I enjoyed the biking but I came away thinking 'the bloke done good', he wanted to get away from it all and have a blast with some mates and I think he achieved that and more
It may just get people searching out other riding documentaries and enlighten them to the delights of Austin Vince and Nick Sanders

Along with the 25 "crew!.
The programme was about promoting the Beckham brand and the new range of motorcycle clothing the "he designed", being put out by Belstaff: see here - Iconic Legends | Classic Wax Cotton & Leather Jackets | Belstaff

And he was wearing just a T-shirt and no gloves for most of the show (granted, I only watched the parts with motorcycles and fast-forwarded though the rest).
I was amazed that his publicists or whoever didn't have problems with the lack of protective gear (i.e. circa 1970s helmets).

"David Beckham into the Unknown' follows the football legend as he explores Rio de Janeiro ahead of the World Cup, before travelling to Manaus, in the heart of the rainforest, where England is set to play Italy next month"
HAHHAHAHA Rio is hardly the 'unknown'
You know. come to think of it.. It doesn't say he will actually be riding any sort of motorcycle anywhere..
