Jay Leno has just put an article in Popular Mechanics about that jet turbine-powered motorcycle of his. I'd heard about this about a year and a half ago, and I sort of half expected it to sort of go away as the hassles of dealing with a motorcycle of this type (which he describes in a fair amount of detail) start to outweigh the geeky thrill of having something that you'll never, ever, ever meet another example of on the road.
But he's still stumping for it, which I guess says something for the enduring fun of the thing. I dunno... it's a very cool piece of engineering, but-- well, it suits Leno, I'll say that much. In that whole "Ostentatious Hollywood Star" way.
It's so good to see that some attitudes from the 40s are still with us.
