    Probably becasue the fatboy can't ride a bike as well as he drives and would make an ass of himself? He is a funny boy tho'

    But you couldn't let it past to stick the knife into Clarkson while passing could you? Pat old Richard on the back and kick his mate in the arse while he's not looking.

It still felt perfectly natural, just my naturally cautious riding temperament has perhaps gone up a notch or two."

    "It felt like a fantastic connection straight back to a time when I hadn't suffered a brain injury and life was a lot simpler," he added "That's why I ride a bike. I can come out of a TV studio or the big meeting doing grown-up stuff - but the moment I get on a bike I'm exactly the same person I was 15 or 20 years ago."
    Just saw that on the news... kewl
    Go Hamster

    Great news on the "short one". Back on his Honda, so he'll be perfectly safe.

    It's awesome to hear he's going to be OK. I, for one, am looking forward to seeing him back on TV - he's the only reason I watch Top Gear

    One wonders how Hamster manages to get his feet on the ground whilst on that bike - The new models have a seat height of 813mm and i'm not sure if Hammond is taller than that

    But nevertheless excellent news, he seems on track to make a full recovery

    Sorry for the temporary hijack.
    Well, that sure as hell killed the thread. Let's hope we never see that kind of insanity here!
    However, good news that Hamster is on the up-and-up!
    "Safety Cameras" Yeah, right!

    Awesome to hear that hes up and riding again, there is a interesting write up in the November issue of BIKE mag. Why Clarkson hates bikers..or something like that, I'll have to dig the mag out again for a read. Interesting read really, he does come out of the closet and confess to liking the Ducati 916. After reading that interview its quite clear he is anti-biker. Never mind...not our problem if he dislikes bikers. Hes the one thats gotta live with looking like a twat...but you have to admit he is a very good host on that TV show...what ever its called.

    Back to Hammond, hes a awesome guy with great taste in cars and bikes. I wish him all the best.!
    1990 GSXR 750 - want one, can be crap, can be awesome....pm me.

    He's also got a Harley to ride with his wife on her bike.

    I think the big JC (top gear, not the man upstairs) is only anti bikes on his show, its just for entertainment as hammond is a biker so they make him the opersite of hammond just to have more arguments etc. I wouldnt belive a word he says about anything.
    Then I could get a Kb Tshirt, move to Timaru and become a full time crossdressing faggot
