Man, I just watched this episode last night. That was one of the most hilarious episodes yet! Though the way Clarkson parked his scooter(simply letting go and letting it land where it would) hurt to watch.

Bump!

The b/f surprised me last night (after returning from a 1/2 hour ride to charge up the battery...thanks snow) by having it queued up and ready to watch on the tv through sources that shall remain unspoken. It is simply fantastic. Makes me want to go and I hate humidity.

Features a VietBodge Vespa, a Honda Cub (yeah!) and a Russian Minsk motorbike.

If you want to watch online:
Part 1 (60 minutes): http://videos.streetfire.net/video/Top-Gear-Vietnam-Specail_208329.htm
Part 2 (15 minutes): http://videos.streetfire.net/video/Top-Gear-Vietnam-Special_208399.htm

I LOVE that episode!

I love all of the episodes that feature some sort of challenge.
Top Gear actually inspired us enough to have a challenge of our own:
give three riders $300 and two months to find and prepare a bike.

Here's the results: http://www.motorbyte.com/mmm/pages/2009/108/feature108.htm

Pictures from the event:

What a great challenge! I recently picked up two Honda 350s for $300 total...at this point I have one of 'em running. If only the snow would go away...
