I'm pretty sure they bleep out all the profanity for Netflix... they sure didn't on the DVD series. And BTW, they should have called all of this "Long Way To Fall Down Round The Wrong Way" and subtitled "and dirt gets in your mouth so dirt comes back out of your mouth" Awful lot of falling down. Even the support vehicle managed to trip and flip over in a relatively flat area. Awful lot of cursing too. I'm not a prude but jeez!!! enough with the F-bombs already!

Couldn't help but notice Charley doing wheelies almost every time they left any place. It was annoying to watch and they even told him to stop screwing around. (I'm saying that nicely) He was a bit reckless and near the end of the Africa ride he caused the cameraman on another bike to crash. If I were Ewan, (but I'm not so.....) I would never ride with that jackass ever again.

They were always trying to yuck it up and be funny or clever, but it got kind of stale after a while. The one highlight that was truly funny was in the Long Way Round while they were in Russia. They had been told prior to avoid the Russian Mafia.......Well...... they got cornered into going to this shady character's posh digs (and he seemed creepy friendly) and there were assault rifles everywhere. The boys were genuinely scared sh_tless.

It was interesting at points, but they should have cleaned it up for public viewing ... All the F-bombs were excessive and unnecessary. And they should have spent more time with on the road video.
Just my 2 cents
