EPIC FAIL JOHAMMER J1
BBC Top Gear UK
|September 2025
As a rule, Epic Fail steers clear of featuring motorbikes, for two reasons.
First, Epic Fail is not a motorbicyclist, and does not understand the subtle nuances of the craft, or indeed why motorbikes don't just fall over all the time. Second, many motorbicyclists are both musclebound and also leatherbound, and thus not the folk to anger by saying something out of place.
