Nope, saw Charlie on Thefullychargedshow (yea, its all one word, nospacesinnit) youtube thing.
Should be interesting.
Seems theres buggerall charging points in much of South America but Equador is a fair hub of renewables cos they don't have any oil so they pulled their collective fingers out and got on with sorting their energy needs.

[Supermofo]

I'd watch it but don't have apple TV so probably won't get a chance.

[Cousin Jack]

I hate Apple stuff, so no Apple TV, but I don't see it as a major loss. If it was self filmed, warts and all, it might be interesting, but with film crew and fixers it will be boring as fcuk.

I have Apple TV, well the wife does. We'll certainly try it as we enjoyed the other ones

We expect a review by Monday tea time.

Whatever possessed them to use Apple TV, Money? I would have thought Netflix or Amazon was more popular.

Hence why Apple was the higher bidder to get a programme with a potential worldwide appeal

I am sure it will come up as a download somewhere soon. I have Apple TV as a freebie on my phone but dont fancy watching it on an iphone7 teeny screen

Gwt a smart TV you tight git or is it just Android that can flick to big screen?

I have had a smart tv for years but you need Apple (paid for) kit to mirror from a phone to a tv. Same for an Ipad to a TV ..... you tube does it for free between the phone and TV. Apple doesnt of course. I can mirror my laptop to the TV but Ipad says no

3 episodes already available on a well known torrent site!
Not that I'd want to watch that googly eyed foccer trying to be an enviro biker

I got an email from Motolegends yesterday telling me about it, along with a review of their kit, the review of Ewans jacket is quite funny.

Just looked at the belstaff advert for the 'Charley Boorman' jacket, and with a straight face the guy said
'Only £1250'

Yeah, watched that and tbh it's put me right off MotoLegends as a source.
Thats a ridiculous price for a jacket.

[IOU0]

but I am a bit of a fashion victim and I have three Belstaff jackets and half a dozen Barbour.

I remember when they wouldnt let you in a pub if you had a belstaff on!

[Rockburner]

The competition is the same prices though, Rukka, Klim, etc, they're all north of a grand.

Personally I don't buy into having to have all that crap on just because I'm riding a bike, but I am a bit of a fashion victim and I have three Belstaff jackets and half a dozen Barbour.

You mean full armour, breathable waterproofing, abrasion resistance etc? ATGATT?

I'm the other way, I'll never ride without armour at the very minimum, (due to certain events in the past), and i detest struggling into pvc over suits so prefer gear that's properly waterproof in itself.

That jacket is only AA

Yeah.
Honestly, I feel bad for people that ride around like that, it's an entirely different experience and more like being in a car than being on a motorcycle.

If I ever get to the point where I'm scared to ride my bike without armour and multiple layers of coverings that make me feel like I'm trapped inside something then I'll actually pack it in and just use the car.

Ditto. If I can't ride to the shops in t-shirt and shorts without being scared, I shouldn't be riding a bike

[Rockburner]

I think theres a difference between being reasonably cautious and being scared. If i was scared of the bike i would avoid riding it. Instead I take every opportunity to ride, but given that I have a pre-damaged knee I'm not going to risk a small off disabling me.

[Mr. Dazzle]

With me its more a case of not finding protective gear particularly restrictive. Maybe that is cause I've always worn it...

[Yorick]

If I'm riding on the road then 99% of the time I wear a bike jacket and some sort of boots that are usually Dainese casual basketball style things, but the rest of my clothes are just my normal jeans, etc.

Although if it's offroad in the desert then it might just be jeans/t-shirt.

If I'm off road, it's full armour. The terrain here in parts is not the place to fall off. Most tumbles are slow speed, but lots of opportunity to do damage. And I topple off most rides.

Just watched first episode. All about the planning and getting bike's and support vehicles ready, which are also electric. It's a good watch and one hell and a challenge.
