unibody race bike

Found this on Jay Leno's Garage.  Somebody has brought Brough Superior back, and they've made a carbon fiber monocoque racer for Moto2 GP  :o

What a garage, can imagine saying to the missus, 'just popping out to the garage love, won't be long'

Some days later he returns with a big grin on his face and explains he has fixed the leak on the er, numerous old machines in the garage... ;D

Who cleans the floor, and just how big is it?

Prepare to be amazed what cubic dollars can do. Cars, motorcycles and lord knows what all else is in the "garage". There's a full-time staff charged with repairing, building and maintaining Leno's fleet.

While I found Jay's last show more "touching" than I had expected, the back of my head was saying "Just think of how many more videos the Big Dog Garage can produce!"

Often I wish Jay would shut his trap, but I think he's a great guy for sharing his collection while steaming (sometimes literally) down the road.  He also likes to feature innovative products, often domestically made.  Most recently his garage featured a non-toxic spray-on chroming system.
