View Full Version : Damn Clarkson to hell
I suppose he just showed everyone how stupid he is by not admitting how cool the new Duke is...
I am of course refering to his performance on tonight's Top Gear.
Idiot. :dunce:

Having seen Clarkson's attempt at riding a bike (admittedly a Harley) it's not surprising.
Considering Hammond & May are both into bikes, maybe we should deluge them with emails demanding a 2 wheel slot on Top Gear?

Personally I think we should be able to over run the studio one Sunday and do it without Clarkson knowing there are a load of bikers in the house but have Hammy and May in on it?? Right who will email the BBC???

Its all a set up to make Clarkson look funny- he loves to wind people up and get a reaction. I think he is just jealous because someone overtook his new Lamborghini on a C90 while he was stuck in traffic.
I think James May rides an old Guzzi T3 and a V11 Sport, and Hammond a GSXR1000 and a Harley.
The whole idea of a badly dressed old man with a bad haircut and saggy face pretending he knows what is cool is laughable!

I always did find James to be the coolest. Seems to have good scientific knowledge about the physics behind the toys they play with too. :hail:

Why do some people still get wound up by Clarkson? Coz that's all it is, a wind up. It's only a tv programme.

The permed fool has just spent two hundred grand on a hairdresser-mobile that's no more exciting than a bike I spent a couple of grand on. What's more, his "supercar" is made by the same company that made my dull diesel hatchback.
He's just trying to wind people up and it works. We all tuned in nevertheless. Bike magazine interviewed him a couple of months ago and he explained his hatred of motorcycles/riders. I think he just doesn't get them. I don't wear denim with a blazer, but that's just me.
True. It is only a TV-show. And not a very good one at that. It's not a programme about cars, its an entertainment show that features cars. If it weren't for the fact that they show cars that we never see in everyday life, no one would watch at all.
What bugs me is all the stupid people that idolise them and the effect they have on the opinions of your everday idiot. How many people will hate bikes and bikers just because Jeremy Clarkson (says he) does? And how will this manifest itself on their behaviour on our roads? :fou:
the whole thing was a set up designed to wind punters up and push up the ratings
why for instance did he have a chainsaw ready and available
no fool would use a chainsaw in the manner he did without checking what was behind the screen first
ever heard of kick back on a chainsaw, either clarkson is extremely stupid or the whole thing was well rehearsed before the audience got there
maybe the safety nazi's will have a go at him for the stupid and irresponsible misuse of a chainsaw

It's fine guys...When I met Mr Clarkson in the Alps with a Bugatti (how terribly glamorous am I?) I told him how he was despised by my motorcycle club.
The reason Clarkson hates bikes is because someone once took him pillion round the Monaco GP circuit on something called a *Ducati Monster* and scared the crap out of him.
Maybe we should visit the TG studio en-masse one day.

I know Moto Rapido had Hammond's 999R up for sale a few months ago after his accident, so sounds like he's a Ducati man too :)
Its only done to get a reaction (like driving round the week beforewith a dead cow on the roof)
Heard James May on the radio apparently he has a barnfull of bikes...and he rides em.. so he is definately the cool one !

It's just a very funny programme, PMSL last night - Top Gear Dog in the wind tunnel, even the chainsaw bit was worth a smirk. They don't want or need to be taken seriously as a motoring programme anymore. So don't. Just enjoy.

Steve Berry used to make me laugh!! :chuckle: Did he actually know anything about bikes??
Reliant orbiter on last nights show, faffing funny! I can't believe it (nearly) worked :chuckle: Just remember, we all pay for this show in a TV licence fee!
I think Hammond has now been tempted to the dark side of Honda and has a Firebland now! Silly boy, get a Ducati again!!

Reckon the easiest way to help out Hammond (and May) is to contact their Agents and via the email address here
http://www.agents-uk.com/agents/short_info/36
Annie Sweetbaum is Richards agent and maybe via this ladies direct contact with Hammond we could find a way of truly winding up old Clarkson with a bevy of Ducati's.
I have sent a short message so await a reply.
As for that man Berry did any one on here, hear that tosser on Radio 5 today promoting the road tolls and congestion charges I understand he was on also on Radio 4 with a similiar argument only this time also trying to promote bikes - fine until they decide to wack an £8.00 parking fee on them everytime you enter London with one?

Clarkson has a job to do,entertain and inform,I reckon he does both fairly well. Top Gear's about the only decent telly!!
I drive a car,ride me bike and commandeer 44 tonnes for money,so I can say from experience that all modes have their muppets.
Riding a bike I reckon must make you a better driver,if nothing else it makes you more aware of others.
But the fact that anything you hit in a lorry is pretty much toast does the same!!
Whatever you think of Clarkson,any petrol head that lambasts the Govt. in favour of the motorist or bikers has got to be a good thing.
There was also anothr biker on Top Gear before Berry,he sported a rather spendid BMW style beard!!
Can't remember his name though,back in the mists of time....

Not sure if I want to answer truthfully steve748.
If I say you were correct,then I will be as anorakky,(it's a word,trust me,) as you,and will be forced to keep said upper outer garment.:worried:
If I lie and say you were wrong,others wil rack their brains
unnecessarily causing much confusion and resentment!!:nash: :nash:
