Two years after his hard get off, clothes-lined by a cable across a parking lot, Jay Leno took out his Brough Superior with a sidecar.

Article also mentions his recent steam engine explosion and 3rd degree burns.

What a cool looking rig.  even has a "hood ornament"  on the sidecar. 

Hold my keyboard and watch this! 🙃

Can't find the picture right now, but Jay used to attend Doug Bingham's Griffith Park Sidecar Rally on either this rig or his Henderson sidecar rig.   At the So Cal Norton Owner's Club Hansen Dam "All British Rally", he rides over from his shop on a Scott Flying Squirrel.  He is super cool and just shows up alone to events like these. He'll park whatever he came over on and walk through asking questions about everyone's bike or rig.  After he starts growing a crowd from selfie weenies, he'll ride off back to the shop.  One of the nice things about being in So Cal.  After Doug passed they moved the rally to a further distance from his shop so he no longer attends.  Too bad it would be nice for him to attend the Doug Bingham & Sidecar Suzie rally this weekend.
