8 Years ago! Can't believe it!
Hi Pottsy
Only 8 Years ago! I can't believe it! He looked about 25 in that program.
Still, makes me feel better about myself, even though I keep thinking my old man's looking back at me every time I look in the mirror!
In the latest Top Gear episode, did anyone hear him mention that he had ridden on 2 wheels in Saigon before??? Don't think so and have a look at this clever condensed version of Top Gear on Youtube, where the liar states, "I have never ridden a bike before", just as he said in the previous Clarkson/Saigon program!
YouTube - Top Gear - Remix - Vietnam
It's good, as this chap has captured the misery of Clarkson and the joy of May and Hammond nicely and there's a lovely bit where May tells Clarkson: "Oh, stop whining!"

imho, bbc stop wasting time with mr ewan "wow isnt this great" mcgregor and mr charley "wow isnt this wonderful" boorman, and give us some more histerical roadtrips featuring a bunch of bummbling brits! |
The only reason Clarkson slags off bikes is because he's scared of them. I remember seeing somewhere that he couldn't believe the response when you open the throttle. I personally like Clarkson. He comes out with things that others in the public eye are scared to openly say, for the fear of appearing un pc or offensive. It's a breath of fresh air to have someone in the public eye who actually says it how it is and doesn't worry about the fallout.
Keep it up Jezza. Just remember, bikers are better car drivers!!!!

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive.
