"So 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 said. "So, you know, I didn't see it until it was too late. It just clothesline me and, boom, knocked me off the bike.
"The fuel line was clogged so I was underneath it. It sounded clogged and I said, 'Blow some air through the line,' and so he did," the avid car collector explained duirng an appearance on "Today" in December. "And suddenly, boom, I got a face full of gas. And then the pilot light jumped and my face caught on fire."
