Join us for a chat with Charley Boorman from the Long Way moto-travel series. The latest edition Long Way Home is out now on Apple TV and this time Charley and Ewen are on vintage bikes—Ewan a 74 Moto Guzzi Eldorado and Charley on a R 75/5. Though we don’t give away much of how the bikes did in this interview, it’s safe to assume the /5 represented itself quite well and Charley has a pointed comment on how the 247 stacked up against the Guzzi.

He recently built and sold a very well executed R100 scrambler that sold on BaT—(we’ve got a link to that for you) so we’ll dig into that bike and discuss his work and experience with old bikes, in general and the volunteer work he does, which is quite remarkable, as well.

In this episode we remember Robert Fleischer, who most of us knew as Snowbum. His selfless contributions, as much as anyone in the airhead community, have helped keep these bikes relevant and on the road.
We are happy to bring you some insight and commentary on Robert from some familiar voices here on the program including, Matt Parkhouse, Robert Sabel, George Thomas, Ted Porter, Duck Koch, Greg Hutchenson, Mac Kirkpatrick, Anton Largiader and Upe Fluckinger.
I know I speak for all of us when we simply say….Thank you, Robert.
