He's not great, but it's still better than being forced to look at Conan's "haircut" for 90 minutes.

Speaking of which, NBC is going to give the first 30 minutes back to Jay, followed by Conan for the remaining 60.

More discerning than the Sultan of Brunei and similar Middle Eastern and Indonesian royalty who never worked a day in their lives, who purchase 20-30 of the same model just because they want one of each color. As far as I know, Leno only buys 1 of each model.

That's like saying you are more discerning than Wilt Chamberlain when it comes to women.

I'm not knocking Leno's vehicles. Its his money, he can buy whatever strikes his fancy. From what I have seen some of Leno's purchasing decisions are made based on how unique, interesting, or historic a vehicle is. I love some of the vehicles he has. Some I don't like at all. Either way, his buying criteria are much different than mine and his purchasing decisions in no way affect my opinion of a vehicle.

My opinion of this vehicle remains that it will be an expensive, impractical, piece of shit. This is based on the simple fact that if on average you only use 1/3 of those 48hp on the base version you aren't even going to get 1 hour out of the 10 Kwh battery. That is with perfect efficiency in the electronic system and drivetrain, something that is impossible to do. Testing may change my mind, but based on what they are claiming I remain confident it will suck.

I know it isn't the same, but I got a chance to ride a ZERO Bike set up for supermoto and it was alright, but nothing special.

What I find more interesting is the fact that there's an electric only race series... when did that happen?
