Gordon Brown voted least desirable pillion passenger

Bridgestone tyres poll shows Labour PM's sinking fast

Posted: 7 April 2010
by Visordown News

OUTGOING Prime Minister (we'll take bets on it) Gordon Brown has been voted the pillion passenger most bikers would hate to have on-board their machine.

The portly Scot, who earlier this week announced the country will go to a general election on May 6th, topped the poll conducted by Bridgestone tyres.

Mr Brown received a pasting during today's Prime Mininster's Question Time over Government plans to raise National Insurance.

Motormouth TV presenter Jeremy Clarkson was voted the second least favoured person to take pillion, with Jordan (aka Katie Price) taking third spot.


Gordon Brown: 33.8%

Jeremy Clarkson: 27.4%

Jordon: 17.8%

Piers Morgon: 11.4%

Hazel Blears:  9.6%

Unbelievable.

Gordon Brown and Jeremy Clarkson would be my dream pillions!  Jordan, well any bird at my age would be welcome....

Can't anyone conceal the urge to take G.Brown under a low barrier at 100mph, only ducking yourself at the last millisecond?

Or demonstrating that car performance is tame by taking JC pillion around the 'Ring, The Cat & Fiddle, TT course etc? Suspect the gangly twat would break on impact as he fell of the back.... Which he surely would only having the physical attributes needed to thumb scripts or twirl powered steering wheels. 

Final rant - surely this is the first general election that no party wants to win??

I once was watching an old programme on Sky and it was Jeremy Clarkson touring around Italy. He was riding a Ducati 916! I beleive that he does like bikes, he likes anything mechanical and powerful and fast, but will never admit to it as it maintains his contenious profile.

Besides, he'd look stupid in multi-coloured leathers like a squashed-up liquorice allsorts mixed with some jelly-babies! Maybe THAT's the real reason he "hates bikes"?

srad man sam

jordan wouldn't stay on very long - soon as you braked she would hit ya back and then spring off of the back  

and yes i would love to show jezza that bikes are superior to cars. i mean, where else can you go as fast as a pagani zonda, have more fun than in a pagani zonda, and pay 100th of the cost of the pagain zonda for the experience?

my answer - a brothell. oh no, i mean a motorbike....
