Il chante à l'occasion une chanson qui dit qu'en moto, si on a un accident, on n'a pas les désagréments de l'accident en auto, tels que les éclats de pare-brise dans le visage ou le thorax défoncé par le volant. "— Pourquoi ? lui demande Mlle Denise. — Parce que en moto, c'est la mort sans phrase." (Song) "None of these annoyances like windshield shards in the face or broken sternum by the steering wheel, when you have an accident with a motorcycle. —Why? —Because accident on a motorbike means certain death with no further ado."
