I just finished watching the series "Long Way Round" on Netflix and I highly recommend it to the Oppo inclined. If you haven't heard of it before, the series is a bit of an adventure documentary that follows Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman as they travel east from London to New York on motorcycles. I found the series both entertaining and inspiring. I think deep down inside all of us Opponauts there is a desire to travel across the world, be it on two wheels or four. There is a second series in which they travel down to South Africa which I'm looking forward to watching next.

Also, I noticed that "On Any Sunday" was recently added to Netflix (In Canada at least). An oldie, but a goodie.

Great shows. Very entertaining. I found it fascinating when they hit the big borders and had to deal with the government types.

There is also a series where Charlie does the Dakar Rally that is pretty good.

Yes! Love this show. Need to watch it again, actually. And do take a look at "Long Way Down," but be warned - 'Round is definitely the better show.

I really liked this show, loved all the middle of nowhere fixes they had to do.

My uncle has the same model Beemer that they use in this. It's a beast of a bike.

Brilliant series.

It was interesting to see how exposed and vulnerable Ewan and Charlie become during the journey - very humanizing, and very touching. And their cameraman Claudio was a real piece of work, too!

I'm an OPPO-type, but my wife is definitely not. I like cars AND motorcycles, but my wife doesn't care for either. I was watching this when she came home from work and she was hooked in 5 minutes. She made me start over for the entire series and we watched one every night. It was then HER idea to watch Long Way Down too.

TL/DR: Everybody will like this series. Everybody
