The Long Way Up
Started to watch the "Long Way Up" this evening.
Amazed to see the work put in by Harley Davidson and Rivian to get the electric bikes and trucks working. Considering they are prototypes.
So far have got through the first two episodes but it is looking a bit like "where do we charge the bikes and trucks!"
On the back of this there are test rides on the road bike version of the Livewire. At a tad under £30000 I won't be buying one short of the lottery win.
If I was one of the idle rich who wanted a bike to travel about locally then this might be an option, but at that price I can buy A Toyota CHR Hybrid and take the wife and dog with me too. For my biking pleasure I'd keep the Rocket and/or the Kettle!
I know the hardened adventurer types (wannabes I bet!) complain about Charley and Ewan doing these rides. The constant moaning about how some bloke crossed the Andes by Frog or went solo on a 125cc bike wearing only a jock strap for protection but it is engaging TV. If the programme is watched by even one person that changes their low opinion of "bikers" then that must be a good thing. Surely?
