Thanks DJ.
I enjoyed the "Long Way" series but must admit that Charlie turns me off a little with his tomfoolery; which usually end in tears before bedtime.

Cheers,

JQ

I rather like old Charley. To me he seems just a "regular guy". A pretty fair rider too, witness those stonkin' wheelies he pulls on a fully laden 1200GS-A.

(Having said that, I take JQ's point about toomfoolery. Maybe a border crossing in Namibia or somewhere is the wrong place to be risking a crash by doing wheelies?)

Cheers, Si.

Si - I too am a Charley fan. Of the duo, he strikes me as being the warmest and most sincere. Ewan strikes me as a bit of an arrogant, cold fish relatively speaking. Nonetheless, I like watching both of them together. This solo project of Charley's should be interesting.

Si, that's because it isn't his bike. You should see the wheelies I can pull on Dean's ST and Dave's Speed Triple!

A lot like the wheelies that I pull on WW's GS.....and .....er....Daves Speedy.
