Just incase you're as fed up as I am with his anti-biker comments.

The man is a monumental hypocrite but I find his programmes otherwise entertaining. He loves the noise of a sportscar, but hates the noise of a bike!

He enjoys 'shock value' and we'd all be the first to defend him if he had pi$$ed off some tree hugging hippies.

His comments on bikers make him sound like a cock but in balance, I'd sooner have him on telly than off telly.

the reason he said it was because the other two (Hammond and the floppy haired one) own bikes

I find Clarkson funny & his shows entertaining.... just like his view on bikes - which are just about as tedious as his dress sense & hair.

We 'need' people like him to keep our cred. You see.... if he liked bikes and raved about them, then people like Richard Maidley & other dull mainstream follwers would think they were cool & then it would be the beginning of the end.....

Dont take his stupid comments about bikers to heart, I think that he to a degree is scared of biking as he cannot do it and maybe even a bit gealous of the folk who can so id say i agree with fidgits, if you are going to let him get to you then simply change the channel

Absolutely. If I genuinely thought for a second that Clarkson would shoot a biker in the face or run razorwire across a road then that'd be different. Until that time, he's just one of the most entertaining presenters and journalists in the country.

All in my humble opinion.
