New Given that it's barely functional . . .
. . it can easily be upstaged.

A bit over a year ago I was down in Burbank and heard a very odd metallic whining sound - very odd indeed - for street level.

It was Jay Leno in black leathers, out for a jaunt on one if his toys - a fairly normal looking black and chrome motorcycle - except for the sound. It's powered by a turbine engine salvaged from a crashed helicopter. It's reputed to be fast.

I mentioned it to the guy whose computers I was servicing that afternoon. His reply, "Yeah, that guy really knows how to spend his money".

New For a minute there ...
Thought you just might have seen him on [My! ex-] his Shadow! - with that black, chrome .. intro.

(That is, on the calendar pic of his perfectly restored jewel, the s/n is almost.. legible and it looked like one of Mine. Closer inspection / ~reading license plate with-5-pixels: it's off a few digits; prolly made same week.)

Oh well. If you bump into him again, ask if I can visit almost-my bike for a 5 min mind-meld? Please!?
