Leno who has been looking forward to his upcoming Las Vegas show in March, “got knocked off” his vintage motorcycle during a test drive.
“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 had explained.
“So, you know, I didn’t see it until it was too late. It just clotheslined me and, boom, knocked me off the bike.
Barely two months ago, the comedian was “hospitalized for second- and third-degree burns”, following a minor gas explosion on his face, hands and chest, that made him to undergo surgery.
