Taken from zap2it...
Actors and friends Ewan McGregor ("Moulin Rouge," "Trainspotting") and Charley Boorman (son of director John Boorman, "Hope and Glory") star in and co-produce this new Bravo series chronicling their four-month transcontinental journey by motorcycle. Left to their own devices, they've chosen to "live off the land" as they travel more than 20,000 miles -- circumnavigating the longest continuous landmass on Earth. Each of the six hour-long episodes will follow McGregor and Boorman through countries like Ukraine, Mongolia, China and Siberia, followed by arriving on American soil in Alaska, riding through Canada and finally into the lower 48 states. A test of endurance and a lesson in unknown cultures ... sounds pretty cool.

Love this show, but I just saw this thread. First, I love Ewan, who is one of the sexiest men going. But the show is just incredible even if you don't love Ewan. I just finished watching the re-airing of part of their trek through Mongolia, where the roads were really awful and they could only travel a little bit each day on muddy roads. To top it off, someone hosted them for dinner at night and they served soup [or stew?] made of cow, sheep, and goat testes! Ay caramba!

Ewan has had gas/diesel splashed in his eyes twice so far on the trip. They have stayed with a Ukranian mafia guy who owns a coal mine and entertained them with his guitar and a Keleshnikoff [sp]. It's been great so far, seeing the most remote regions of the world and the emotional/physical struggles they have endured. And they still have 12K miles to go!
