These aren't the bikes you're looking for....

I have to say I found Ewan's constant Star Wars references and jokes to be pretty funny.

I recently discovered LWR after I accidentally purchased the special edition DVD. I'm loving it so far and has kindled a love of motorbiking (I'm currently in the middle of lessons and nearly have enough dough for my first bike). I love it when a piece of media can inspire me.

I'm British, don't hold it against me.

I know, I've always wanted to learn, and my stepfather was supposed to teach me how to ride before he became handicapped... and watching this, Long Way Down, and reading Long Way Down REALLY rekindled my intense desire to learn to ride!

Can you believe Denis Lawson's mother was it it (nanny lawson) but Denis wasn't?? Surely they could have phoned him up for a cameo?

Really? I didn't recognize him, I'll have to take another look.

I thought that it was a great series. but I have to admit, I didn't really know who they were.

I'm not a Star Wars fan, and hadn't seen Ewan in anything. I knew his name, and that he was a movie star from Scotland, but that was it.

And Charley, I'd seen the Emerald Forest, but didn't realise that that was the same guy.
