    Jeremy Clarkson on Motorcycles....

    (As posted by Robb N on FB!)

    Hysterical!!!

    A taste

    What I’m trying to say here is that, yes, bikes and cars are both forms of transport, but they have nothing in common. Imagining that you can ride a bike because you can drive a car is like imagining you can swallow-dive off a 90ft cliff because you can play table tennis.

    This, the Vietnam trip - always excellent stuff.
    Plus, oddly, Clarkson reminds me a lot of my dad

    I love when he goes off about how "stupid" motorbikes are.

    The Vietnam episode was priceless.

    "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."

    hahahaha!

    Then there is the steering. The steering wheel comes in the shape of what can only be described as handlebars, but if you turn them — even slightly — while riding along, you will fall off and be killed. What you have to do is lean into the corner, fix your gaze on the course you wish to follow, and then you will fall off and be killed.
    Steering wheel...!

    Bear in mind he's speaking to the masses of "cagers" they don't understand what a handlebar or clip-on is.
