Stopped for a wee break this morning and no sooner had we got off our bikes when Jay Leno rolls in driving his 1915 Hispano Suiza. We ended up chatting with him for about 20 mins, mostly about cars. His HS was packing a WW1 airplane engine and an air horn off an old french train. It was LOUD! Very cool guy who obviously loves his cars (and bikes). No trailer queens for him..

Yep, we were at the overlook at the top of the snake. He hung out with us for a while. Very cool guy. I've seen him a few times driving to work on the 101 (I'm in Northridge). Always driving some crazy cool old car.

May be always riding driving something cool and crazy, but has he got a Tuono?

MTT2000 = Y2K Super bike for anyone wondering!

And its performance and stats are insane:

320 hp @ 52000 rpm (286 hp @ rear wheel.
Rolls Royce Allison 250 series gas turbine (helicopter engine).
250 mp/h / 402 km/h.

... but it looks almost like a normal sports bike. :thumbup
