Interesting but, I doubt they're short enough of pennies for that to be the reason.

Bollocks. None of them would ever have to work again with the amount they've got. Surely they'd start selling their helicopters and planes before trying to make a few extra 10s of thousands of pounds by shifting some bikes?

Yup - this is just shifting stuff for more than its worth whilst they're still relatively famous.

Shrewd enough t know that the papers will give them a load of free advertising. They probably only bought them last week for pennies off of ebay. Laughing

I'm not too sure... I know James May has been planning to sell a bike or two for a while now, well before the "fracas"

The auction house claim that these lots were arranged months before the Clarkson debacle. Sheer coincidence.
