In the past, Jeremy Clarkson has had some fairly damning things to say about motorcyclists.
So the Top Gear host's neighbours in the Cotswolds were surprised to see him whizzing round their village on a shiny new motorscooter.
For his trip to the pub on the retrostyled dark blue Vespa GTV, Clarkson, chose to wear an open-faced helmet, tinted skiing goggles and bright red gloves.
For a man usually found behind the wheel of a Ferrari, it seemed an odd choice.
Clarkson once caused outrage by suggesting in his newspaper column that the number of motorcyclists should be cut by stretching cheesewire across the road.
He added: 'Some parents say drugs are the biggest threat to youngsters. I disagree. Every weekend, everyone under 25 takes crack, smack and E and very few are harmed. Bikes are far more dangerous.'
