Jeremy Clarkson is also the host of Top Gear on BBCAmerica, a pretty decent show in its own right. Be sure to read his other rants in his review section. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/driving/jeremy_clarkson/article4963194.ece

Whatever. Because they are so knowledgeable, they will know precisely why the bike you select is rubbish and why theirs is superb. Mostly, this has something to do with “getting your knee down”, which is a practice undertaken by bikers moments before the crash that ends their life.

ahahahaha

"pretty decent show in its own right"

Bit of an understatement huh? :) Show freaking rocks!

But Clarkson has always had a hard on against bikes. Still a pretty funny article.

This shows the great difference between American and British philosophy on driving. They do not believe it is a right to drive where here (even though it is not) we do.

I doubt 50% of current drivers here could pass a British qualification on the first try. Quick frankly I’m not sure I could.

:lol:

I saw a piece of Top Gear showing that in the upcoming season they were all on scooters and he was bitching up a storm. I'm wondering if this article is related...


Oh yeah, and I took great offense to this, "Frankly, I liked the idea of a bike that has no crossbar, because you can simply walk up to the seat and sit down. Useful if you are Scottish and go about your daily business in a skirt."

It's a kilt!

Yes. Have you seen the show?
This is how he is about everything.

Yeah, exactly. He is the type who instantly will piss you off, and then you realize he is cranky about everything and is just an angry person. After that, he just makes you laugh. Cause he is such an ass.


Sidenote, does Simon (from American Idol) still have the fastest lap time on the board?
