  • What a day it was as the great Jay Leno, television icon, shows Cycledrag all around his amazing motorcycle collection in Jay Leno's Garage in Burbank, Calif. We ask Jay Leno about his recent motorcycle accident, how he's doing and how it happened and we see his many motorcycles including what is believed to be the largest collection of Brough Superior motorcycles, a 1920 Ace and he starts it up, vintage Indian motorcycles, a Munch Mammoth, bunch of vintage Harley-Davidson Motorcycles, his jet engine motorcycles, a collection of Vincent Black Shadows, the end of teh Chopper craze, his Orange County Chopper and how it failed, Jay Leno's all-time favorite motorcycle, his thoughts on electric motorcycles, whether he prefers restored or original, his sport bikes, included a Honda CB, a Honda CBX , BMWs, His Hayabusa and Kawasaki H2 and a whole bunch of motorcycle and Tonight Show memorabilia. We also sneak in a television question and ask Jay Leno what he thinks about the cable cord cutting and the movement to streaming and digital platforms like UA-cam.

      as a biker you could tell just by watching the show hat they were turds.....some beautiful turds but turds nonetheless.... they NEVER discussed performance when they were designing a bike...it was all about the image and nothing else.

      @@TheFujac Orange County Choppers....I never watched that show, but did catch a bit of it when I had a girl-friend that liked it, and yeah...she had a 68 Triumph......Those guys were what we (out here in Calif) call 'bolt-on' bikers...buy a bunch of stuff from catalogs and assemble them. Like the Wrestling...just entertainment. They got almost all their frames built by Orangeburg Cycles...Father/son shop...South Carolina or some place around there.

      damn he pisses me off (Ferrari owner F430 spider here ! ) he is a friggin LIAR !
      ANYONE can go into a dealer and order, put a $ deposit on and buy a regular production model ! NO hassles! as long as they are still available , being made !
      or they could buy one a dealer spec'd and ordered for the dealership inventory ! Or buy one used !
      ONLY the limited production, and special models may require having owned some before ! same as Porsche et all !!!! 😇
      JAY !
      you are a genuine hero to millions of us! MR gear head!

    The best about this is the interviewer knows all about most of the motorcycles in Jay's collection and is genuinely surprised when coming across something different or extremely rare or odd so that he and Jay have anexcellent exchange of info on the motorcycle. It is obvious there is much respect for what Jay has done with his collection. The sound came across as a little bit odd on my laptop speakers (but my laptop's speakers are a disappointment to begin with), but switching to headphones cleared that up.

    Jay is an absolute Gentle man. Long before he was on the tonight show, I met him at Silverado Country club in Napa.
    He was the MC at their Concours de Elegance I was judging Camerchle Class. We was walking by us stopped to chart. Very well read was a great source for Mustang research and restoration. Today I watch every thing he does.

      @CycleDrag I have to ask you Jack, if you could have one bike as a true collector bike what would it be? For me it would be a Honda NR750. From the oval pistons, 8 valves per cylinder, 8 connecting rods all in a streetbike was just a sample of what Honda could build if they wanted to.

    I've ridden bikes all of my life, even in the snow......the bike I'd like to have in my "collection" is an MR-175 Honda lol. My first bike. I worked at the local gas station making 2.75 an hour for a year when I was 14.....saved virtually every cent and bought it. Very first day I was off to the woods. Looking back, I really don't know how I knew how to ride it, a two-stroker.......fast as heck. I didn't even know what a clutch was, yet, I found a way. I bet there are tons of similar stories! I didn't even get my car license until I was 26! I think somehow we are born with two wheels in our heads. Also, it never mattered to me what the "make" was.....if it had two wheels I was trying to ride it!

    My late cousin's husband Stephen Wright worked at Solar Productions which was owned by Steve McQueen. Stephen Wright was considered to be one of the top motorcycle restorers in the world. Most people have no idea at the amount of work that goes into restoring a motorcycle that could at some point sell for a million dollars. I learned so much while visiting with Stephen and watching him work. He surprised my mom with a signed photo from Steve Mcqueen wishing her a Happy Birthday.

      Mate, just one?!! I have a list as long as my arm lol!
      As your question allows for the fact I already have a collection, ('82 TS125ER, '98 Virago 535 bobber, and '19 DL650XT), then we are obviously talking something very special, and in that case I'd already own a few of the other bikes from my list too, namely a '04 Montesa 315R, Suzuki DRZ400E and SM, Gixxer 750 SRAD, Ducati 916 and Monster 900, Triumph Bonnie 800, Yam T7 and TY80 and Honda ST1100 and CRF250L.
      SOOOO...In THAT case, it'd have to be one of "King" Kenny Carter's race bikes from the 1980 season, which is when I first watched him ride for Halifax Dukes at the Shay stadium.
      1980 was also the year I first rode a motorcycle (TY80) at age 6, I had to sit on the tank lol.

    Jay is a regular good guy. I’m hoping he opens up his garage to the public somehow like a museum. The place seems beautiful and thoughtfully put together. My favorite thing about visiting the battleship museums, Wheels Thru Time and the Woodstock museum is you got to speak with the guys that actually were there, worked it and kept it together. Would be great to see Jay open it up. Thanks for the video. So interesting to listen to Jay. A canoe. That was funny.

That polished tank and that is is ridden regularly puts it smack in the wheelhouse of exactly what I would do with it. Ride it regularly. These really early vintage bikes are a fantastic experience to ride. In a VERY close second, Jay has a 1940 Indian Four with a sidecar that used to belong to Joe Montana. It’s a fantastic bike that can be ridden regularly with little fear of maintenance issues. Such a cool set up. 👍🏻😎👍🏻
