Why Clarkson Hates Bikes in Bikes mag

zenkidori · November 22nd, 2006, 7:53 AM

no, not any scans or pics(my phone was dead), but if you pick up this month's Bikes mag theres a funny article about JC and his bike hate, with interviews.

I have the issue. I don't have a scanner, but would be happy to post pics if someone has a place to host them.

I have a scanner. Mail it to me and I'll upload the scans to my personal server at home! images/smilies/tongue.gif

Kidding, of course images/smilies/wink.gif

^^But while you were kidding you let everyone know you have a personal server. So, everyone, if you need a place to host TG or FG, ask epp_b! images/smilies/tongue.gif

Bikes have everything Clarkson loves: noise, power, speed, excitement - but the dosage is just too high - ie. he's scared. images/smilies/wink.gif

Nah, it ain't that good and I only have it on when I know someone wants to use it. It's just an old computer (only a 10GB HDD) running LAMP, connected to my home internet connection. The download speeds are pretty pathetic, I'm sure images/smilies/wink.gif

Although, I can put some stuff on the webspace I get from my ISP.

No. He don't like the thought of falling off it, he don't like dressing like a power ranger, and he likes comfort.

Me no like bikes. Sorry.

And if you remember, he hates the sound of that high-pitched NNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRR, NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRR....

Pah, you're all a bunch of jealous sissies. images/smilies/tease.gif

(Damn, I don't have a bike myself...)

Ottobon · November 29th, 2006, 1:35 AM

Id love to read the article, can somebody scan it already?

I think it just goes against his general idealogy of bigger is better, he seems to like alot of cars that are very usable, yet can provide excitement and drama, such as a comfy Merc which also makes thunderous noises when you want it to,

plus where a bike makes noise a Alfa Romeo makes sound images/smilies/smile.gif

!!, ill let Motoguzzis slide, those things make the most beutiful noises i've ever heard out of small engine, but then their italian, so they would

There's a place for each,

Bikes offer a sensation that a car can't touch.

Cars offer you the security to try really stupid things.

But if you want speed, the bike has it NOW.

I'm talking real bikes not chopper shite.
