Charlie Borman's name is inextricably connected with adventure motorcycling.

He's been riding since he was a kid, actually for starting out on three wheels, believe it or not.

You'll hear more about that on today's episode.

But most often, Charlie is recognized for his part

in the film Long Way Round,

in which he and his buddy,

Ewen McGregor, filmed an epic motorcycle adventure

going from London to New York.

Now that film has since gained an almost cult-like following and has been the inspiration for countless

motorcyclists and even non-motorcyclists everywhere.

Charlie has went on to do a load of other adventures filmed and televised.

Today we have Charlie Bormans Motorcycle Life.
