Clarkson on a Harley

What a fackward. Clearly his mum did not allow him to ride.

He should have stayed on for the bang. Whimp!

Well, if you're really bothered you can write to him at:

Langness Lighthouse
Langness, Castletown,
Isle of Man

Or pop by on your Harley and wake up the family. The path runs right by his kitchen window and he's got an on-going dispute with local ramblers to re-route it away from his house. It's not going well. Still, lots of tax benefits so he can bang on about England's superiority whilst minimising his tax obligations towards it.

He's not been popular with bikers since he suggested people throw gravel on the bend outside their houses to slow them down.

............Couldn't have picked a marque more befitting of 'the treatment'

Yup, any other brand and everybody would have just said "meh, big deal, so what?".

It's a Sportster fer crissakes! Probably an 883. MsT would have happily done that to the one she rode around Nevada/Arizona last year - talk about cramped!
mind you, she was happy enough to sit on 90mph across the desert, on it....

whereas now everyone's going "Jesus - that looks like fun!"

Bet '80's Sportsters start showing up in little burned out piles all over the world now

I thought the harley ran a lot better after it was blown up frankly!

FFS, They didn't have 883cc iron Sportys.....they don't exist...I think...

Hope he follows that up by blowing up that hopelessly impractical GT40 that he bought.

It may have had Clarkson in it.... but it looks like it was produced and edited by year 6 students.

Harleys have their place in the world- imagine if lawyers and accountants all rode other expensive bikes like Aprilias and RC8 KTMs! we wouldnt laugh- we would cry.

Nice work on the blinkered stereotyping. :-)

Some of the most hopeless cases I know are professional folk who can't handle their 160hp sportsbikes.
Morris's coked up Daytona is RAT legend.

A H-D actually makes reasonably good sense for occasional riders.
