it does look an amazing trip, although, when those lads were pumping the fuel you could see it swishing round in the glass jar and it looked filthy and unfiltered Laughing

It was awesome loved it.

Oh it comes on to top gear around 11.30 till 12:30 (no tv at university and it is my favorite program). Although if everyone is watching it does sometimes go down mid-way through watching it AND it takes a while for it to be downloaded to cache.

It is put up in a high quality version in a day or two, although it isn't that much more impressive.

Great episode

I know. The bastards keep making bikes that are death traps and sending them everywhere else and hoping they kill all bikers with their death traps in the hope no more people buy bikes!

Great episode, thoroughly enjoyed it. Blatantly obvious that Clarkson doesn't hate bikes as much as he says he does too. Loved the "gift" he gave Hammond Laughing

And Vietnam looks spectacular.

My first bike was a minsk (well a motobeno which is a re-badged minsk). They are great bikes, go anywhere and are very reliable if you replace ALL the bolts (which are cheese as standard) and the plug cap.

If anyone is looking for one. They were officially imported into the UK as "Regent". They were grey imported as minsk, motobelo and motobeno.

It was actually done for this, but I'm sure they're connected. Probably no coincidence that he chose an actual Vespa over the thousands of old Hondas and others that were available.
