Charley Boorman is now in Japan filming "By Any Means-2", and we ended up riding with him for a day and half. Had a lot of fun and might have even generated a bit of exposure for Moto Guzzi! Wrote up a short report here: http://fukuokanow.wordpress.com/

Nice one Nick, thanks for the post.

I've befriended the Producer of the Long Way Down, and he in fact now owns one of my old Guzzis. I delivered it to a air hangar that he shares with Ewan. One of these days I hope to go ride/hang out with them both. I hear Ewan is a genuinely nice guy. Is Charlie as whiny as he seemed on the shows?

This would've been the better picture to post... Nick with Charley on his wife Emiko's V7C;



And his words to her post ride;

Nice one.

Heh, Todd, Ewan indeed looks like a genuinely nice guy, but I guess you'll tell us, eh? ^^

I know the former Parts Secretary and the former Membership Secretary of the Hesketh Owners Club, as they are married to each other. Dave works in the same building as me.

Miami's oldest surviving motorcycle shop, Long's Motorcycles, has a mint Hesketh on the showroom floor, very impressive and large in person. Well worth the visit to the shop since the floor is more like a museum with all sorts of old exotic vintage and vintage racers.
