Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm sure I remember him saying that he'd ridden a bike before in an old top gear interview (I think he mentioned being on a ducati monster which is hard to believe).
I also recall an old Clarkson's motorworld series where he was in India riding round on a scooter.

"Clarkson chose to wear an open-faced helmet, tinted skiing goggles and bright red gloves."

He also rode around the Monaco F1 circuit on a Ducati 916

Even if you passed your car test before 1997? you need L plates for a 50cc an CBT + L plates for a 125. So (+ other comments of riding a real bike) sounds like he's passed his bike test.

I wish Top Gear was on & he would have to answer for this, surely Hamster & May wouldn't let it lie.

Mr Clarkson is a total hypocrite.

I knew it all along.

The fraud.

Actually, Clarkson doesn't hate bikes.

He hates the noise of an IL4 screaming past his house like they do every weekend, but doesn't mind those "ducati things"

He's also happy to move over and let a bike past.

Its just May and Hammond ride bikes, so he flames them to wind those two up.

Read an interview purley about the subject of bikes and clarkson.

Cant say I blame him for that tbh.

He did ride a Ducati round the F1 circuit but he scared himself pretty badly I think he said. Someone who has Youtube might be able to find something?

I think we should write in and challange him to ...A RACE!
He makes the thing look tiny.
