I liked 2 better because I'm biased. I had an incredible amount of fun riding and hanging out for the entire trip, whereas the original transit I had no part of that. I will say though, when I bought my original transit and watched it yearsss ago it was one of the most influential and professional videos I've ever seen. Transit 2 only tried to build upon the groundwork that the original laid down. Extra care was given to filming and editing since obviously it was our goal to make a DVD the entire time.
I'm very curious to see where this thread goes, with SR being a diverse collection of both new and old riders.
