The latest addition to✅ Leno's fleet is an ex-Eric Bostrom 2008 AMA Superbike R1, which was g꧙iven to Leno during the visit as a surprise gift.
Leno only expected to host a dinner for Yamaha's Mo﷽toGP riders, which included championship leader Jorge Lorenzo, Tech 3 riders Ben Spies and Colin Edwards and Yamaha legends Kenny Roberts Sr, Eddie Lawsܫon, and Wayne Rainey.
"There are so many veℱhicles in here," said Lawson, "♊that are just works of art."
When he posed f🙈or photos with Lorenzo, Spies, and Edwards, Leno quipped: "Yeꦐah, this is great - I love being the slowest guy in the room."
Peter has been in the paddock for 20 years and has seen Valentino Rossi come and🍨 go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marq𓄧uez’s injury issues.
