Basically, a couple of middle-aged German guys ride from Germany to the Himalayas, overland all the way. It's actually more entertaining and interesting than my description .

 

One of the points this drove home is that I need to do more travel on motorcycles again.

Drat, not available in Canada.

 

I was secretly hoping they were riding Royal Enfields of the same name based on the thread title....

I'll look for it, but the lack of Royal Enfields is disappointing. Pretty much the way the Himalayas should be attacked.

I have two RE's in my garage so I may have a bias.

The Episode where they actually in the Himalayas has the odd RE in it . I guess they weren't shooting for YouTube stardom, although there were parts of the trip where I think they might have appreciated lighter weight bikes.

The English overdub is slightly cheesy but the geology and history of Georgia and points east from there is 100% worth it. I want world peace so I can see E36 M3.

From the bits of the original soundtrack I can pick out, it's also considerably less sweary . I haven't checked if I could switch audio to German, but then again, my wife doesn't speak German and it's a show we both like.

yes to lighter weight bikes, when Alain kept dumping it on the hair pin turns I was literally saying "that's because you've got 150# of crap way up hi"

I just finished "Somewhere Else Tomorrow" and this one is on my queue for next. "Somewhere Else Tomorrow" is worth the watch. Two Germans take their BMWs planning to go all the way around the world, earning their way as they go. It's a rough start, but the journey (and presentation) really transforms along the way.
