A doco on TV1 @ 9:30

It's about an american(Glen Heggstad) who travels by bike thru South America only to get kidnapped in Colombia.

I've read the book and is an amazing story & think the doco will be worth a look.

Book is called, Two Wheels Through Terror (Diary of a South American Motorcycle Odyssey)

[fridayflash]

Then it's really a must see.When he first appeared on ADVrider everyone thought he was bullshitting - no one could really be that tough and live that sort of life,they thought he must of been some bullshitting computer nerd inventing a life.But he's the real deal.

Jebus John, give us some warning when you spring something like that on us mate.
At least mark it NWS!

[BASS-TREBLE]

Scary stuff that was, I would imagine if he told you the story in person it would be a few hours long and even more interesting.

The thing I don't get is what happened to his bike during those 5 weeks?
I higly doubt they would have looked after it.....

B-T

[Alpha Solo]

What a story!!!

[Quasievil]

He was on a KLR to not a dakar, but good story.

[deanohit]

Damn that was good, he told it a hell of a lot better than it was acted.
What made it real was hearing the emotion an turmoil in his voice.

Must say watching and hearing the keys up the nose bit was worse than any jackass stunt, damn!

Should read the book, much better and a lot more about his travels.

Had to buy EVERYTHING to continue.

[Trumpess]

I saw some of you guys talking about this yesterday, so decided to sit and watch it. Well ..... I was captivated from start to finish, and then ended in tears!! Yeah yeah silly woman I know. What an excellent story!! There is an angel sitting on that guys sholders. What stood out most for me is that after that ordeal, he continued his adventure! Who is this guy? I take it he has done more in his past?

He is a seriously hardcore biker...
He's so tough he can ride a yellow BMW and no-one makes fun of him.

[vifferman]

Damn! I didn't know that was on. I'd followed his adventures on ADVRider, but haven't yet bought his book. A good idea for Christmas!

So - did anyone record it?

[Swoop]

Great programme! Sorry Viff. Didn't record it.

[NordieBoy]

He's released a low quality download of it though.
