Default Jay Leno breaks several bones in motorcycle accident just months after suffering burn
By John Katsilometes, Las Vegas Review-Journal (TNS) Jan 27, 2023 Updated 2 hrs ago

Referring to the November fire, I asked, “How are you doing, especially after the accident?”

“It’s so funny you should say that,” said Leno, headlining for Encore Theater for the first time on March 31, his first Vegas show since the November incident. “That was the first accident. OK? Then just last week, I got knocked off my motorcycle. So I’ve got a broken collarbone. I’ve got two broken ribs. I’ve got two cracked kneecaps.”

“Whoa,” I said. “Whoa, Sir.”

“But I’m OK!” Leno said. “I’m OK, I’m working. I’m working this weekend.”

Leno specified the accident happened nine days earlier (Jan. 17), again as he was working on a vintage vehicle. He was testing a 1940 Indian motorcycle and noticed the scent of leaking gas (fuel lines have been unkind to Leno recently).

“So I turned down a side street and cut through a parking lot, and unbeknownst to me, some guy had a wire strung across the parking lot but with no flag hanging from it,” Leno said. “So, you know, I didn’t see it until it was too late. It just clothesline me and, boom, knocked me off the bike.

“The bike kept going, and you know how that works out.”

Under medical care, usually.

Leno said he hadn’t said anything about the accident because of the massive amount of coverage from his November hospitalization and recovery.

“You know, after getting burned up, you get that one for free,” Leno said. “After that, you’re Harrison Ford, crashing airplanes. You just want to keep your head down (laughs).”

That could have been very deadly.

I hope he didn’t wreck his Vincent. That’d be YUGE bummer.

Car collecting is too dangerous for him.

As a precaution, he should ship his cars to me for safekeeping.

Not a good idea to keep all your eggs in one basket. A few cars should be peeled off and sent my way. It's the only logical thing to do. Start with the Toronado.

That's terrifying! Also why I'm afraid to try snowmobiling

Closest I've been to being thrown from a bike was riding over a small dirt hill and bottoming out on a buried tree trunk. Bike did an instant stop but I kept going. Found myself draped over the handlebars with the front tire spinning 2 inches from my nose. Didn't want to make things worse so I stayed that way until the tire stopped Just glad nobody saw it.
