Bloody hell!! Both look epic!!! Top find, Chappers!

When I was suggesting a 'stuff I found on the internet' page, it would be things exactly like this that should be on it.

I really want to know if he made it across the bridge and if Indiana Jones was waiting on the other-side.

Bin there, done that.

Well, on a bus anyway.
Don't believe everything you see.
There would have been buses going past every half hour.

Nah, the bridge collapses halfway across, and the bike is eaten by crocodiles......

I'm ordering the DVD.
I know watching someone else do it is no substitute for doing it yourself (Makka), but it's as close as I'm likely to get.

And I don't care about the buses - they're still mad.

.....and how the fuck do you get a bus across that bridge, anyway?

Truth be told I didn't watch much beyond the first minute.
I got bored.

Like you said.... been there, done that.

Must be terrible to have travelled everywhere, and seen everything. Nothing left to inspire you.
How do you find the motivation to get out of bed in the morning?

Me - I've been hardly anywhere, seen next to nothing. The world is still full of great mysteries to me, which I'm looking forward to exploring in my twilight years.
Which is why crap videos of dodgy adventures still interest me........

I was bored and I have never been there. I hope that was not the highlights! 2 mins was my attention span for that.

You are quite right in a way XXrider.
But as you get older you also chill more.

I am quite happy to just sit on the porch strumming a few chords on the old banjo for hours on end.
And then a dollar might turn up and me and Clyde might have something to do

Must say I liked it-good on them-particularly no film crews and no back up vans, which always got on my tits with the longway series.
