"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...

Funny is an understatement! What did he mean by "lift and American"?

Don't mind about his way to talk. He always does like Americans are stupid dombo.

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!

Tired. Boring.

 

Love bikes. Worship Mercury.

 

Easy targets for a wobbly mind...............
