From London to New York, Ewan and Charley chased their shadows
through Europe, the Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Mongolia and Russia,
across the Pacific to Alaska, then down through Canada and America.
But as the miles slipped beneath the tyres of their big BMWs, their
troubles started. Exhaustion, injury and accidents tested their
strength. Treacherous roads, unpredictable weather and turbulent
politics challenged their stamina. They were chased by paparazzi in
Kazakhstan, courted by men with very large guns in the Ukraine,
hassled by the police, and given bulls' testicles for supper by
Mongolian nomads. And yet despite all these obstacles they managed
to ride more than twenty thousand miles in four months, changing
their lives forever in the process. As they travelled they
documented their trip, taking photographs, and writing diaries by
the campfire. Long Way Round is the result of their adventures - a
fascinating, frank and highly entertaining travel book about two
friends riding round the world together and, against all the odds,
realising their dream.

If you're looking for a great read, then get this book. You don't have to be a motorcycle nut to enjoy it, anyone who likes adventure or just dreaming about it, should love this. An honest account of realizing a dream to traveling around the world without any hollywood bullsh*t. Awesome!
