I loved long way round - my sister bought it for me when I broke my leg ages ago and I binged on it. The beemers were such a perverse choice for it but they made for great TV.
If you can look past a cheesy soundtrack, this is a great movie. Almost a rolling advert for XR650s too!https://www.amazon.com/Dust-Glory-Mario-Andretti/dp/B001LQZQO2

Yeah it's a great watch, sounds like it got you through the pain. Will check out Dust to Glory, although will probably only compound my 'need' for one. Obvious comment is obvious etc but Mondo Enduro is great if you haven't seen that.

... because KTM didn't want to give them free bikes, but BMW were happy to.

How KTM fucked up, and BMW even with poor reliability, showed customer service.

Totally get there's something special about them. Rewatching Long Way Round for the hundredth time so it's probably to blame but would love to give off-road riding a go. Gravel scares the willies out of me so think it needs to be conquered at some point.
