2 things spring to mind....

1    Is this a Top Gear stunt?
or
2    Is it a lookalike ?

Heh, you have to love the caption below the bottom picture, "Fans are used 
to seeing Clarkson behind the wheel of a fast car" - with the picture 
showing him leaning against a Rover.

The question is: is he riding the Vespa on a public road without a bike 
licence, or is he a gobby hypocrite *with* a bike licence.

His car license will have a provisional entitlement to ride a bike. The only 
thing he needed was a CBT.

I'm not seeing L-plates.

If it's a 50, though, he'd have a full licence off the back of his car 
test. No need for CBT, either.

'course, what nobody's noticed is the mike on the front of his lid...

Could they be filming a "We shoved Clarkson on a moped for a week, now 
watch him sneer at it" bit for TG?

It was noticed, but considered to be too obvious to mention.  It probably is 
a TG 'stunt' but the equestion of licencitude remains.  Is he evil criminal 
scum or should there be joy in heaven for the one sinner who repenteth?

Didn't he do a lap of Monaco on a Ducati 916?
Probably proves nothing as I remember him shitting himself.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "platypus"
 saying something like:
