This is the travel vlog I've been waiting for. Ewan McGreggor and Charlie Boorman ride their classic motorcycles on a 9-week trip through Europe in AppleTV's Long Way Home starting May 9.
In Long Way Around they rode from Scotland to New York east on a pair of BMWs.
In Long Way Down then rode from Scotland south to South Africa (my favorite series).
In Long Way Up they rode prototype electric Harley motorcycles north from Tierra del Fuego to Los Angeles.

Thanks for posting! The only thing better than watching a motorcycle roadtrip is doing it yourself. I’ve got it on the calendar.
I believe that on the Long Way around, while Ewan and Charley were riding their nice bikes, the cameraman had a breakdown and did the trip on some sort of minor smaller MC.
Remember that there is a team, filming and supporting. And there is a large amount of money to fall back upon. Here’s to the unsung poorer MC travelers who grind through the rain without any hoorays or accolades.

I was amazed at how these sucked me in. All very well done and the guys did a good job of showing the tribulations in such a trip as well as the local environs.

Ride for Food, Million Dollar Bogan, As the Magpie Flies and or Itchy Boots.
I have a Nevada, Utah & Colorado road trip in June.

Alton Brown did a series of motorcycle travel shows back in the day called Feasting on Asphalt. I'm not sure where you can watch them now but they were really entertaining.
