Jay Leno has been such a good friend, and if he would allow me, I’d have to get it all together, but I’d like to go on ‘The Tonight Show’ and do a set with no props. Or come out with a trunk and never touch it. Or come out with a clear trunk with nothing in it.

The connection to place, to the land, the wind, the sun, stars, the moon… it sounds romantic, but it’s true – the visceral experience of motion, of moving through time on some amazing machine – a few cars touch on it, but not too many compared to motorcycles.

People say that New Yorkers aren’t friendly, but I think they’re more friendly than Londoners. Here there is a front-footed nature of Americans. You can go out on a night out and meet 10 random people and stay in touch with them, whereas that’s not going to happen in the same way in London.
