Hope some of you do too. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/driving/j...icle4963194.ece "Methinks he doth protest too much!" Seems like Clarkson had a good time on the Vespa and just doesn't want to admit to himself how much fun he was having! I predict more "these things'll kill ya" articles as he rides a variety of scooters and then moves up to Bikes... Link to comment

Tom M Posted October 24, 2008 Author Share Posted October 24, 2008 Funny is an understatement! What did he mean by "lift and American"? It was clearly a fat American stereotype joke. It's probably as popular as the brits with bad teeth stereotype over here. I liked this: "However, many people are making the switch because they imagine that having a small motorcycle will be cheap. It isn’t. Sure, the 125cc Vespa I tried can be bought for £3,499, but then you will need a helmet (£300), a jacket (£500), some Freddie Mercury trousers (£100), shoes (£130), a pair of Kevlar gloves (£90), a coffin (£1,000), a headstone (£750), a cremation (£380) and flowers in the church (£200)." I forgot to factor in the Freddy Mercury trousers and the funeral costs when I bought my bike! Link to comment
