Jeremy Clarkson's Critique of Motorcycling

[Paul_F]

A week or so ago, the Toronto Star ran a tongue in cheek article by Jeremy Clarkson, host of Top Gear, on "Misery on Two Wheels". You can find the link here (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/driving/jeremy_clarkson/article4963194.ece). It provided me a few chuckles while having my morning breakfast.

Clarkeson can't ride, his two co hosts can. It's an ongoing joke and he does have to be controversial, it's his style.

Paul, thanks for the link. Here I was all set to be pissed off and instead, having a wonderful laugh to start my dady. Much appreciated!!

Not "host" . . . but rather "presenter". This is Great Britain after all. ;)

I rode in today. I'll try not to think of this article as I ride home, lest I laugh out loud and be distracted from my RT's confusing controls, at which point I will be killed.

Right, first things first. The motorbike is not like a car. It will not stand up when left to its own devices. So, when you are not riding it, it must be leant against a wall or a fence. I’m told some bikes come with footstools which can be lowered to keep them upright. But then you have to lift the bike onto this footstool, and that’s like trying to lift up an American.
