Actually, an interesting ‘soft feature‘ on the Governator, with a gratuitous insult aimed at yours truly and my friends:
As he and his entourage arrived at the Rock Store, a place deep in Malibu Canyon where old men take their new bikes, the crowd lunged before composing itself, going from giddiness to indifferent manliness.
(emphasis added)
Hey!! I … I … I actually kind of resemble that remark…
But if the Times writer wants to see indifferent manliness, he needs to be there when Leno shows up on his jet-turbine powered motorcycle…
That’s a kick ass bike!
Hrm, I hadn’t thought of you as old… have to revisit that one, I guess. ‘Cuz I always believe what I read.
Haven’t been there in years but I remember meeting Leno there before he was really famous and his ride was a Honda CBX.
