So far we’ve only gotten brief glimpses of the bikes, but soon we’ll get to learn all of the details when the series premieres next month. There aren’t many electric adventure bikes out there to choose from, so the LiveWires were kitted out to turn them into adventure touring models. However for the latest installment, they opted for electric motorcycles instead, ultimately landing on the Harley-Davidson LiveWire. Previously, the pair used BMW adventure bikes. The Long Way Up series follows McGregor’s and Boorman’s previous two long-distance motorcycle treks, the Long Way Round and the Long Way Down. When Ewan McGregor and Charlie Boorman set out from the southern tip of Argentina last year on a pair of Harley-Davidson LiveWire electric motorcycles, we knew that we’d eventually get to see their hemisphere-spanning trip in the new series Long Way Up.Īnd now we’re learning that the long wait will finally be over soon. Update: Nora was kind enough to reach out & explain that today was the first she’d heard of my book. She, however, issued an apology later, revealing that Nora Roberts reached out to her and explained that she’d never actually heard of her own book before the Twitter call out. Tomi, on her Twitter, wrote: “It would be nice if an artist could create something special without another artist trying to shamelessly profit off it.” Nora’s new fantasy novel is titled, “ Of Blood and Bone,” a phrase she has used very often in her books. The Nigerian-American writer shared a photo of the cover of her book and the cover of Nora Robert’s new book which share similar titles. Tomi Adeyemi, writer of the fantasy novel “ Children of Blood and Bone,” wasn’t very happy with famed writer Nora Roberts.
