ewan mcgregor and charlie boorman are motorbike freaks like we are s2k freaks. they rode from london to nyc a few yrs ago on the ultimate road trip and now they are doing scotland to cape town.

im not a bike fan, but it would be amazing to organize a s2k drive around the world.

How does one ride a motorcycle from London to New York? Is there a new bridge I haven't heard about?

As he stated. Around the world bike trip. However, it still is boggling since the Bering Straight bridge is no longer there haha. Still if you turn the globe towards you where the north pole is facing you, they would be going in a counter-clockwise elliptical route (i guess). Maybe thats a better visual?

I loved that series, dare I say it was inspiring, and something I would definatly do if I had the means.

Also watching Boorman enter the Dakar rally made me want to do that too
