Bike hating Jeremy Clarkson ditches his car for two-wheels as he takes a scooter for a spin

October 15, 2008

He said he wouldn’t be seen dead on two wheels, but here is confirmed petrolhead Jeremy Clarkson enjoying a spin on a Vespa scooter.

The Top Gear presenter has made no secret of his dislike of motorcyclists, but he joined their ranks yesterday near his home in Oxfordshire.  In red gloves and a warm jacket he went for lunch before going on a ride around the countryside.

 He has previously enraged bikers with comments about them, and at one point an anti-Clarkson petition was started by an outraged group of motorcyclists.

Calrkson’s comments on the BBC programme have included snippets such as: ‘I’m not scared of bikers. If they crash into my car they crumple and I go home.’

However now that the 48-year-old has swopped his sunroof for an open faced crash helmet he may have to find another group to dislike.
