I don't understand why they're trying to force the old presenters style and personalities onto this new lot. It doesn't work and is just plain weird. Let's see if they get their own personalities in the 3 series (Chris Evans series doesn't count).

It was a successful and lucrative formula for the BBC but I agree.

Harris did pretty well* seeing as (AFAIK) he doesn't really ride.

I believe he did get a licence and dabble with sports bikes a few years ago - but no more than a dabble I don't think.

I think he said in his Ducati Scrambler review that he had a Monster.

Quickshifter combined with autoblipper to be fair - autoblipper on it's own and you'd still need to be either messing with the throttle or using the clutch to get it go down.

I liked it to start with. Then after ten minutes it degenerated into middle aged men goofing about like nine year olds. Id grown bored of the old three bores doing that ages ago so disappointing after being teased into thinking maybe the new presenters would be doing something grown up.

Nope. Even though they've started doing bits on bikes, it's just nowhere near as good without Clarkson.

I'm reading the same comments as there were for the first run of the New Top Gear.

It was never famous for being PC so it will not work if it is PC.

They should let the poor fucker die. Sad
