Another Clarkson Gem!!

I love the way that he said that few people have heard a ferrari or DB9 at full chat. Could it be because:

You need a very long straight?
The cars are very rare because they're so expensive?


Sorry, but that's 2-0 to bikes IMHO.

Quite a comical article, but if any law along the lines to lower the noise to that level passes, it will be a travesty.

Bikes are meant to be loud, end of story. I'll be keeping my ART can thanks.

God there are some boring farts on here

Engines sound nice, you should exploit that. Be it in a car, a bike, a boat, hell even a jetski...

And whats wrong with being someone who is opinionated?????? Doesn't make him a That makes him an individual prepared to speak his mind. Who's worried what anyone else thinks...

I can't stand the man but he does have a point, I just wish that he would consider all noisy vehicles the same.

I live on a main road about two hundred yards from a bike dealers, every saturday morning you get some twit blasting away from the shop in 1st, popping wheelies etc.

This is equally balanced out by the chav's zooming off slowly from the car tyre and exhaust place next door to the bike dealers with their sound system thumping, huge exhaust and lit up like a ridicluous blue Christmas tree.

I think I am in the catagory of....

couldnt care less. clarkson is mildly irritating and entertaining in equal measure, but he's various rants are nothing more then fluff and easily dismissed/giggled at/used to cover my floor when I'm polishing my boots.

So untill his views are taken seriously by someone with actual power and political weight, that it may affect my world, I'll happily ignore him.

Unless he bought his house before motorcycles where invented, I've got no sympathy for him.

I'm sure its just 90% wind and **** anyway for the sake of an article, doesn't his wife have a bike ?

Love him....

Great piece despite being very anti bike! He does it with tongue in cheek rather than genuinely looking for a governmental response. He's in the entertainment business after all.

[Skip]

Doesnt he have a house on the Isle of Man anyway?! You would have to be a fruit cake to buy one there and not enjoy motorcycling in some way or another! It would be like our own Peter Henry saying how much he hates a warm climate after moving to Spain!

I think JC is a master of the tongue in cheek humour myself. Anyone who actually thinks that he strongly believes in many of the points he makes,are frankly missing the point. His job is to provoke reaction for heavens sake!
