I'm half way through the book and its pretty much the same deal.
as long as you don;t get annoyed about the fact that there is a big support crew popping in and out very often.

they do bike in some mad conditions. even without the biking side they write good travel book copy.

not to spoil it or anything but the bikes seem to give them more trouble this time.
both the the bmw and odlin shocks they use give them some mad problems.
they get the art of changing one down to 10 minutes

all-in-all its an enjoyable read.

I hate that sh1t. The airport staff are up there own arses. What annoyed me the most was Charlie saying"well, at least they didn't press charges.." WTF, thanks for not pressing charges for saying the word "bomb" when you were being a cock. Much appreciated.

The other thin that irriates me is that he can wheelie his gs at will, I can't do it, very irriating.

Ive seen signs in UK airports over the last few years, to the effect that the staff do not have a sense of humour, and that you should not make jokes with them about any security issues. And Charlie did admit he got a bit stroppy.

On topic, Ewan seems less of a wuss this time around. Long may it last.:D

Think he was a bit out of his depth before the last trip due to a lack of ever having ridden off road before the trip got started and was being a bit of a girl due to that.

Saw a snippet of one of the future episodes.. Looks like he dumped the bike while cornering and hurt himself. So, be happy.

It's good, but it's no LWR! Just kind of a direct copy sequel....You can tell they dont have the same awe at what they're doing.
