Why in the gently caress would you spend (I assume) ungodly amounts of money on a radial bike, and then not ride it..

Because you're Jay Leno, which means you've got Jay Leno's garage, which has (among other things) a Brough Superior and a Desmosedici in it, not to mention as many cars as your typical Yemeni sheikh, and it's not like you get to spend all day driving and riding, because much of your time is spent figuring out new ways to screw over Conan.

Went to a vintage Japanese bike meet on Sunday; some highlights:



He's barely touched it since hauling it out of a barn...obviously.



So many tiny Hondas, there were swarms of them.



Yes, the sign says owned, ridden and maintained since '82. He was selling it for $2,500.



Some people didn't get the "vintage Japanese" memo.



Beautiful orange metallic flake paint.



Terrible picture, but a great condition CX500 Turbo, the gold wheels gleamed.



Surprisingly, that was gas dripping, and not oil from an apex seal.



He rode it out of there sedately and quietly...I will never forgive that man...

I don't know how to put this delicately... Perhaps he just hates you, not motorcyclists in general? ;)

(Also, I can't quite make out his hand gesture nor what he's saying. Perhaps he was encouraging you to continue hogging the left lane and do more wheelies at extra-legal speeds on public roads)

He probably lost the girl he'd been throwing mad game at when you wheelied past the clubz at 2am and she took off running after you.

But at the same time, there was a respect there, a mutual understanding of his place in life, and that he will forever be a subordinate human being on the evolutionary ladder, much like Neanderthal is below Homo Sapiens. His upraised fist was a salute to your evolved status in life.

Or he was propositioning you for a fisting session. Video's blurry. :iiam:
