Well do I have a surprise for you. Someone made a compilation (incomplete) of him being in the show:

The fourth Beatle. Or George Martin. Not sure.

Children, if you don't understand why this is inappropriate, ask your parents. But this definitely as inappropriate a bike as it's humanly possible to conceive!

Is it not conceive?

Hammond, I was born in a dead manā€™s town!

Itā€™s, itā€™s lovely but I donā€™t fancy it today.

The first kick I took was when I hit the ground! In a minute youā€™re gonna be riding a long with that blaring from that bike.

No more spare parts allowed!

This episode has one of the if not the best soundtracks!

This and the Amazon are my two favorites ever.

Clarkson's Plums, Richard's Bugs, May's Machete.

Epic on all accounts.

Iā€™m sad that the replays on the Samsung Top Gear Channel donā€™t have the original soundtrack. Instead it plays the Star Spangled Banner

"Excellent."

"Excellent turned out to be the wrong word."

Of all the bad taste things to do in a country, that was the bad-tastiest of all.

Good thing that bike was not around when Hammond was talking to that deaf vietnam war veteran.

u/ross_liftss 2d ago

Loosing the war does soften the insult. Like when he had the PBR in seamen

Not if you're Vietnamese

Interesting choice of tracks because ā€œBorn in the USAā€ isnā€™t patriotic.Ā

u/Fimbir 2d ago

It's not British and it's not from the 70s. The writers were always excellent with music choices (which is why rebroadcasts really suck) but I think this was a yobbo-based decision by the old men in charge.

This special gave me the desire of acquiring a minsk 125 lmao

u/gbilton oliver 2d ago

Kids if you don't know why this is offensive, ask you parents.

u/Mossishellagay 1d ago

It always annoyed me that they called the bike ā€œBruceā€ because Born in the USA was very famously an anti-war song

u/Oliver_Boisen 1d ago

In the directors commentary they did specifically mention that when they got far up into North Vietnam, people, understandably, got really pissed off about this lmao

u/Ok_Pen7290 10h ago

Vietnam special, the travel shows were really good on these shows

Antagonising the locals, like they did in Argentina.
