Jeremy Clarkson On Motorbikes

I'll have you know my 'Bird is lighter than most Americans.

 

Mildly amusing, but he's still a twat.
Girlies can pick up a Vespa 125, and as for the freezing blast of
40mph... he should stay in his car and do us all a favour. I don't
believe his claim of only doing it to see what it's like, since many
others are doing it - it's entirely possible he thought he'd get away
with putting a bike on the road unknown and unseen by everybody, but
he'd opened his gob too many times for that to happen.

 

He's far from it, he's an writer/entertainer that's hit upon a magic
formula to make money. Lots of money.

 

A bit like Jade Goody then?

I find Clarksons written stuff amusing, but on TV he definitely needs
someone elso there to be at his best.

 

Err, no.

I find most things he does very well crafted and matched to the medium
or setting. I don't agree with all of his published thinking, but then I
doubt he does either.

 

Yep. Would that I could get paid for being a ****.

 

Bookmarked for future reference, I will now refer anyone interested in
taking to the road on two wheels to said article.

Paraphrases quite nicely what I say to people who ask me about getting a
motorbike, entertaining too.

 

Indeed. Despite the usual Clarkson style, he is spot on in his
assessment.
