It's funny how he notes everything leading to your death.
ErkZ NOT in SLO w/ his '95 m900!
The end is in sight! Gotta buckle down and get to work!

"I also liked the idea of a Vespa because most bikes are Japanese. This means they
are extremely reliable so you cannot avoid a fatal crash by simply breaking down.
This is entirely possible on a Vespa because it is made in Italy. "

If you attempt to mount your motorbike....you will be killed.
We're liberated by the hearts that imprison us.  We're taken hostage by the ones that we break.

It's like I keep saying:  Those who would sacrifice a free range session for a giant beer, deserve neither free range time nor a giant beer.

i have had guys reach back and grab my crotch in an attempt to get around me. i'll either blow in their ear or ask them politely to let go of my wang.

I read his review column religiously. They are hilarious enough on their own, but they are even funnier if you read them with his narration playing in your brain. If you watch enough Top Gear, that's not a stretch and kinda happens automatically.

The review for the Chrysler LeBaron convertible is priceless.

Very funny.  The repetitive "leading to death" is hilarious.  Its exactly like talking to some of my non biker friends.

QuoteHowever, many people are making the switch because they imagine that having a small motorcycle will be cheap. It isn't. Sure, the 125cc Vespa I tried can be bought for £3,499, but then you will need a helmet (£300), a jacket (£500), some Freddie Mercury trousers (£100), shoes (£130), a pair of Kevlar gloves (£90), a coffin (£1,000), a headstone (£750), a cremation (£380) and flowers in the church (£200).

Why would you need a coffin a headstone and cremation?
