I believe a certain board member (ninja edit: actually it was the actor Jesse James) had made a statement to the effect that Jay Leno only rides "chitty chitty bang bang" bikes?

Definitely gonna be some bang bang, but I doubt that there's any chitty.

We know he doesn't ride only chitty chitty bang bang bikes. He has a desmo rr. Jesse James said he rides like a grandpa or something to that effect..

He got on his DesmoRR some in a video. Not much but he was on public roads. Besides a crazy fucker like Jesse James probably thinks Rossi rides like a little bitch.

I'd have to wear a condom into Leno's garage because I'd skeet everywhere.

FNL, apparently you need to take up your beef with Jesse James

As far as Leno goes. Yea were friends, But that guy only likes Chitty Chitty Bang Bang crap. He could never keep up with my friends & I who ride 110mph all day. I also doubt he's ever split a lane.

Yup... The more I saw of him on tv over the last few years, the more I realized he's just another pansy with some talent.. And... I havent seen him build a chopper yet, just these new school abominations that people thought were so cool.

But... Aren't you glad were only seeing these guys on the internet nowadays, instead of every channel, t-shirt, ballcap, and childrens bike?

I wish I had Jay Leno's collection...props to him...wish I could afford it.

I used to like Jesse James but as of late...he's getting a little carried away with himself.

I could see being around him very much would not take too long for me to tell him....:gofurslf:.

I don't ride like a grandpa...unless I'm riding someone else's bikes but I can still see JJ getting on my nerves...I'd bang his wife though...well if I wasn't already married. :lol: :idk:

I hated his 1130 show. And I watched the first 10 seconds of his first 10pm show. Sucked monkey ass even worse than the 1130 show, which is where he'll end up when they shit can his 10pm.

z06boy

10-29-2009, 10:07 AM

Yeah I didn't/don't watch him or Letterman except when channel surfing and then only for a short period of time.

I was surprised when they said he was coming out with a 10 pm show and wondered how in the he11 that would be successful. :idk:

I do like the fact that Leno is a car buff and for that alone I could probably get along with him.

I know Letterman is into racing but he just comes off as a complete wiseazz jerk to me...but maybe he's not since I don't personally know him.

Or maybe his life is so incredibly badass he doesn't want to fuck it up by sliding under a guardrail on the side of a cliff on a gravel-laden curve? Especially true since he has enough money to build his own racetrack if he wants to go fast.

maybe it's a theme, there's some brain surgeon dude down here who has the latest and great italian bikes........he also rides slower n dirt.......

i guess they have ALOT more to loose then you or i. at least they appreciate what they have and ride a lil.

It has nothing to do with having more to lose. Why should net worth factor into that equation?

Some people enjoy having the latest & greatest.

Some people enjoy pushing their bikes as far as they can.

Some people can afford to do both.

My issue is with Ed's premise that a wealthier / "more important" person is less likely to push the limits.

Or perhaps some people (regardless if rich or poor) are too proud to take lessons or go to schools

Or maybe it's simply about the machine and its design, and the coolness of owning it, rather than the experience of going fast on it.

Or, maybe they do it when the media and mortals aren't around to watch them do it? Geez people, when will you figure out that not everyone does stuff so they can know that YOU think they are "cool" :idk:

Sean

11-02-2009, 12:38 PM

There are plenty of people out there who don't give two craps about being fast.

Some people would rather turn a wrench on the weekend and fabricate something cool than go see if they can make their factory repil-racer a fraction of a second faster than the next guy.

I wonder how that relates to Leno having a bike done by OCC for their TV show, during the reality TV chopper-mania phase :lol

James seems to be 100% committed to convincing the world that he's a badass. Part of being a badass is talking trash :idk:

I've almost never watched Leno's show, but I have a lot of respect for him. His website has clips of him talking about his cars and their technical and historical points of interest, he goes out and actually rides like a normal person, he sponsors college scholarships for kids interested in automotive technology and innovation, and he's got A CAR WITH A FUCKING TANK ENGINE AND A BIKE WITH A FUCKING HELICOPTER ENGINE. Entertainment industry aside, he's a gearhead living the dream without being a total douchebag about it. I'd totally let him adopt me :dthumb:
