You may or may not be familiar with the "Long Way" series by Ewan McGregor (star wars, trainspotting, big fish etc) and Charlie Boorman (bunch of Euro stuff I have no idea), but they've created two tv shows and books that followed their motorcycle journeys.
It started with Long Way Round, a journey from London to NYC, through Europe, Asia, then Alaska to NYC. They filmed a tv show, which is on Amazon Prime, and put out a book. Really awesome read!
Then they did Long Way Down, from Ireland, if I remember right, to Cape Town South Africa.
Well that's been a long time, Id say close to a decade, and now the long-awaited Long Way Up is underway.
They're going from South America to San Fransisco on a couple of electric Harleys
I loved the first two books. I loved reading about the people they met, the 'adventures' they were on (dealing with border crossings that sometimes took a dozen hours, riding on The Road of Bones out in the far east of Asia, trying new foods that arent common to us westerners etc), and the friendship they continued.
It's just them and a cameraman. Yes, there is a support vehicle that they link up with every week or so, but they're pretty much on their own to repair bikes and find lodging etc out in some third world countries.
