Charley Boorman ... 748 owner !!!
If we are to believe MCN Charley owns a 748 and apparently rides it every day - what a hero!

Think I might just have to put the long way round book on my Xmas pressie list...

Heres some links on the LWR....

I'm sure in the first episode of LWR he was riding around on a yellow 748

Apparently Ewan MacGregor was given the 748 by George Lucas during the Star Wars films, and then passed it on to CB. Wish I had employers/friends like that...

By all accounts Ewan has a thing for Hond*'s; frightened off by Ducati running costs probably..

Ewan McGreggor did have a red 916, or 996 - I am sure I have seen a clip of him on it, - or was it a Suzzy Perry grid interview of him where he spoke of it. I think MCN even had a write up on him with a Ducati.

As for long war round, - lucky Charlie is there to keep it going, McGreggor is a bit unsure on the muddy stuff.

Took some pics of Boormans bike with broken/mended frame, - interesing to see his motivation for riding safe, - pics of his kids inside the screen.
