Comedian Jay Leno is well-known for two things: One is the first word of this sentence, and the other is his extensive classic car and motorcycle collection. As an enthusiast with the money to back it up, he’s stoked his passions for both things for decades. In November, 2022, his car collection made news in an unfortunate way, when he sustained second-degree burns while repairing a fuel line on one of his antique cars.
Now that it’s January, 2023, it seems that he’s had another spate of bad luck with one of his vintage vehicles—and this time, it was a motorcycle. Since it’s Leno, of course, it’s not just any old motorcycle. As the story goes, on January 17, 2023, he was out road testing an unspecified 1940 Indian when he noticed the distinct scent of a gas leak.
