New Gear Shop merch - Long Way Home and R1T cargo net

[ChrisKnowsIT]

I was browsing the gear shop and saw some new items. This includes a cargo net for the R1T but also some fun new Long Way Home items - patch, hat, and shirt. I loved the show and also enjoyed seeing the Rivians play a main supporting role. Anyway, I just wanted to share for those interested.

I'm clearly out of the loop here, what's the deal with motorcycles and Rivian?

A documentary series, I think on Apple+, with Ewen MacGregor and Charley Boorman, and they travel all over the world on vintage motorcycles, with accompanying Rivian support vehicles. Surprisingly engaging show.

What Jodyz said but it first started about 20 some years ago when they did Long Way round, and they've now done 4 total. Last two with Rivian's help.

Very, very entertaining.

They’ve also added a few borealis purple items: bottle, hoodie, t-shirt and hat.

The series with Charley Boorman and Ewan McGregor started with Long Way Round -- definitely work a look if you haven't seen it. This was as series involving two bikers on overloaded BMWs circumnavigating the world -- quite entertaining.

Then I believe they did Long Way Down, which again was Charley and Ewan riding the big BMWs from Scotland to South Africa.

After that, Long Way Up (2020) went from Ushuaia (tip of South America) to Los Angeles. Here, Charlie and Ewan rode modified electric Harleys, and they were trailed along the route by these odd looking new electric trucks that were nothing but prototypes at the time.

Then, they did Long Way Home, which was the most recent trip. Again, the boys were trailed by R1Ts on their route through Europe, from Ewan's home and back to his home.

I can't recommend the series enough.
