I feel like I write the same stuff on every video, but this is the best, most important, most entertaining motor show ever. Thank you Jay for everything you do, the worth of this can not be measured in money. You have given me something I will never forget, love for this kind of stuff.
The last minute of the video says it all.
Jay loves machinery. He respects craftsmanship.
Class act.
...The point when an American makes you very, very proud to have bad teeth.x
Pretty gutsy to take that on the LA streets. (no headlight/taillight!) I expected Ponch and Jon to roll up on him! Awesome video!
Seeing the long shadows I would say these are early morning runs, before the traffic is too horrendous.
As to no lights Jay must make generous contributions to the Policemans Ball,
Jest kidding, I doubt Jay would do anything illegal. Great vid, and a bike to be envious of.
It falls under the same category when driving an old car, you don’t need to wear a seat belt because it was manufactured pre-law for it. ;)
If the bottom links of the Castle front forks are original the replacement with phosphor bronze will save a catastrophic fatigue fracture !!!
It's Jeff! From Taofledermaus!
Gotta love a fellow who's north of 60 in age, yet still not only owns such machines but dares to actually ride them in southern CA traffic - risking life and limb to do so in many cases.
Jay's not only wealthy in material things but in also in passion for his machines as well.
You can see it in his eyes and in the way he talks about them.
a friend of mine owns the very first MKI brough superior. he retired it from the roads when it hit 100 this year. it has never been restored, never let him down. he told me when i asked him about the rumour , and he confirmed it, that jay turned up on his doorstep trying to buy the bike , and he refused. th-cam.com/video/fs1UOzgyxsU/w-d-xo.html
Original superbike! Awesome find Jay! Nice illegal street ride. lol Cool to see Jay motovlogging.
Jay would make the ultimate motovlogger!
Nice to see you here Cruza!
close on half a million dollars worth of bike. good man for riding it. Most live in heated garages and don't see the light of day.
@lahokc59 You tried mate never mind I got it.
13:20 "What a treasure." Said with much love. Jay, I too am glad you left it alone and shared your passion with us. Thanks!
Jay, completely understand the "drop of blood" part. As a 75 year old, still active in riding my old British bikes, I really appreciate the genuine affection you have for them......that WE have for them.
Thanks

Maybe one of your best shows yet. For many, the visceral experience of riding a motorcycle, or driving an automobile is so much more important than speed or mechanical competence. This Brough obviously has this visceral experience in Spades.This show depicted this, along with the other special aspects of these motorcycles, and how a person might come to adore machines like this. A total loss oiling system could have been a significant advantage in the dusty driving conditions T. E. Lawrence was in. Great show, thanks for taking me along on one of these bikes. Keep up the good work, you had the best Mille MIglia show by far. PLEASE do another.
TO COOL!!!! Great to see that bike where it belongs, on the road and not polished to within an inch of it's life on a pedestal in a cold museum.
Thanks Jay!
I'm always impressed with your videos. You are so knowledgeable and appreciative of what the vehicles meant back in the day. You are doing an awesome job, I wish you could put out one video per day!
Thanks for sharing this! I was born in the UK (1950) and I fondly remember my old Dad (born in 1922) telling me me when I was a kid, about the Brough Superior, his favourite motor-bike when he was young! His Dad's brother (my Great Uncle Harold) had an Ariel Square Four with a side-car, and I remember riding in that when I was about 5 or 6. Thanks again!
One thing I will say about you Jay is that not only do you have a fantastic collection of bikes and cars but you use them you ride your bikes you have a passion for them and as one collector and rider to another I salute you sir ....to often people collect vehicles and let them collect dust .....bikes are made to be ridden to enjoy keep doing it me friend I enjoy all the videos you do well done sir ....well done 👍
I'm a fan of super old bikes, not really a bike guy. But I enjoy learning about the older bikes and the history behind them!
Nice touch to see the last British road tax disc is still on it. Lovely patina on that bike.
Could have gone the rest of my life without being reminded, castor bean oil! 1970 and that amazing, hypnotic smell, plus the joy of riding all the incredible European 2 stroke, and speedway bikes. Those memories will let me die a happy man!
TH-cam gave me 12 options to choose. I picked this one. It's just so awesome to be able to see these great machines. I love the ' still ' explanatory narrative and seeing the machine in action. Where else could you get an experience like this.
awesome final episode for this year Jay ! looking forward to a bad ass 2015 !
Wow, this bike is like a museum artefact. Jay just rode it. How awsome.
that bike sounds great,, makes you feel like a kid ,,
I am your long term subscriber❤️👍
Thanks Jay. I check out your site every morning. This one is one of your best. El 'Awrence was one of my heroes, so this video struck many chords. See you in Columbus, OH in 2015!
Awesome. Where else could I have gotten such a thorough, interesting and passionate presentation of this great bike.
I love how something that special and rare, Jay rides around LA and Malibu. Very cool. True enthusiast right there!
The racing history and original patina makes this bike sexy. Thanks for the great story Jay. Would love to have that bike.
Very nice. Like the way the valve system working without oiling or spraying oil as you drive. Love the old stuff and how they did it.
Great piece. The pure romance of being able to ride a historic bike has to be great. I am glade I could share the experience.
Another great example of owning awesome and sharing it. Seeing that thing on the road is something special as most of us only ever see them in auction catalogs we drool over. There is a great car museum out by Philly that takes 2 or 3 of their rare cars out a month and drives them in the parking lot for everyone to watch/hear/enjoy which I find very much in keeping with the Jay Leno's Garage spirit.
Mr. Leno, you are a gentleman and a scholar. Thank you very much for sharing.
Another masterpiece Jay hearing your Knowledge when riding man was amazing!
SO SO BEAUTIFUL JUST A MASTER PICE!!! It's just such a wonder to take a look at the way everything was so different yet so magnificently built .
Big thanks for walking us through the spec of this bike , would love to see you bring this back to England in the spring time and take it through the country lanes stopping off at the nearest watering hole for a pub lunch.
"Whip it like a mule," Jay -- what a nice find inside the fuel tank... excellent video!
Love to see the diversity of what Jay collects a true inspiration. Hope you continue to share online. Love it
Absolutely beautiful Jay! Thank you for sharing your bikes and their history with us. I have 2 Indians, a 2014 Vintage and a 2020 100th Anniversary Scout. I love them like they are my children. Thanks again and please don't ever stop posting new videos!
Thx Jay, a fantastic machine and piece of motorcycle history. Would love to own one. Also great to see its still being ridden and owned by someone why really appreciates it. There won't be many SS100's still being ridden because they're worth so much.
One man, one machine. Love the personal insight here. My dad rode the big triumphs in the 50s and 60s and told me never to get a bike because they were too dangerous. He lost three friends on the Snake Pass and the Cat and Fiddle. Did he have any regrets. No way!
I'm one of few 28 year olds lucky enough to get to ride one of these beauties. They will be around long after my R6 is in the scrap yard.
The way you have to prepare the machine before riding. It makes the whole thing an event.
I have a Sturmey Archer internal gear hub on my bicycle. I didn't know they were making motorcycle gearboxes as well.
Can just imagine the ride back in the day when this was new. Our roads are rough mpw, but back then, you really had to hold on. Looks scary on present day roads. I just love the cutting your hand to put a drop of blood in the tank. Totally get it. Such a STEWARD of these machines you have........... excellent.
Great 2014 "finale". Awesome to see those rare vintage bikes. Thanks very much!
Incredibly fast and streetable, and 90 yrs old! Love the sounds it makes too.
That rumble to die for....like a heartbeat ❤
I adore the finned exhaust manifolds on these 20s and 30s jewels
Best video yet, and I enjoy them all. This brought back so many memories looking at the details on this bike such as JAP speedway engines and Sturmey Archer 3 speed bicycle gears.
Wow, thanks for sharing. The bike, the history and allowing us to hear the engine of this bike and of Lawrence.
Fuel leak at 0:51
Sniffing the smell of gas at 1:21 lol
Love this bike and had to watch this video again. ;)
that gave me a chuckle
Fabulous! Thanks for sharing it with us, Jay, who may never ever see one in the flesh, so to speak, and certainly have zero hope of riding one.
Absolutely love the Brough Superior! I can tell Jay loves this motorcycle,he was really gettin' it on that thing!
What a fantastic machine! Thanks for showing us Jay!!
That exhaust noise is eargasmic, sounds better than any Harley today.
Thanks Jay and Crew!
This is Leno at his absolute best.
I’m a car guy, not a bike guy, but this was fascinating
Another great episode. I do like bikes but I wouldn't call myself a bike guy, however, I always enjoy your bike videos because you have this way of bringing them to life.
Jay! Thanks for being you .
Jay, thanks for all the great video's of 2014. Looking forward to 2015.
It's nice to see something this rare which Jay Leno owns. Really shows the diversity of his collection.
And I love the horn, sounds so polite that it's meant to saying hi to your friends rather than "get out of my way" type
It says "get outa my way" to the horse carts. Keep in mind this was probably the noisiest thing for miles, with most of the other gas engines in tin lizzies at the time.
nope, in the uk, you would rarely use your horn, it is almost a crime to use a horn near horses even today
Mission Dan
In the city I live in, I use it often as people don't look where they're going sadly...
Mission Dan New York city is all about car horns. Its sickening there. Couldn't wait to leave.
In the UK the law requires a vehicle to have "an audible warning of approach" - a noisy exhaust does not fulfil that requirement!
castor bean oil smells great I use it in my 2 strokes.. I love the smell of Blendzal in the morning, it smells like .....victory
That is a fantastic ahead of its time machine.
Love love LOVE this video. Jay's enthusiasm is infectious!
Beautiful bike Jay really enjoyed the history lesson..... Favorite TH-cam Chanel
Wow! Thanks for sharing. Ride them, don't hide them!
8:08 Yamaha FZ-07! Lol. Great video as always Jay. Love the vintage bikes, especially 60's era! More!
I always look forward to watching the videos when they come out. Thank you for sharing with us!
Love your passion for bikes.
Thanks for taking the time to share your collection with us Jay. Never a dull moment.
I'd love to see your thoughts on a nice stock bodied bpu supra
I am more of a Vincent guy but that is a truly a splendid Brough Superior.
Wow! Love it! I love the early bikes and old British stuff. This bike looks and sounds fantastic! I can only imagine! I know what hot caster oil smells like and its intoxicating to a gearhead! Well done sir!
-Thanks for sharing all these videos and all those beautiful vehicles you own Jay!! Fell in love with the steam engines and those now classic race cars. Last episode of 2014? More like last episode to go on TH-cam since NBC already announced that Jay Leno's Garage will exclusively move to CNBC come 2015!! May you find tremendous success on cable network!!
I love the look of this motorcycle. I have no vehicles right now, also a gearhead. Your videos are inspiring and make me happy, thank you for sharing your collection with us. Wish me luck on owning another vehicle one day!
You want to stay away from vehicles if you're a gear head and get some help.
I enjoy your videos not only for entertainment but also to dial in this old Dell after blowing the ecarbon out of the hard drive,thancks Jay.
Awesome video, always love looking at a piece of history.
Please do more of these I love them. Ive watched all of the motorcycle videos like 20 times each
Gorgeous at 7:30.
I watched this one. Great show!
That Brough Superior is badass badass badass badass cool cool cool I want one sooo bad. Hey, Mr Leno, yo!
Wow Jay you are brave taking that old beast on an L.A. freeway! Cool Stermey Archer Transmission!
WoW, just a beautiful piece of machinery and great video; This one has to be top 10 video for me.
Carb leak at :52. I love the originality!
I love your collection jay, I wish I could take a tour and see all the gems of history that you have. Keep up the great work.
Looks beautiful built in my hometown!
So wonderful that it looks and performs that well into the next century. Fantastic drive *****. Like jay said, I couldn't imagine seeing or hearing this motorbike on the streets in the 1920's.
What a great start this episode has, wow
Thanks Jay. I really enjoyed that video. A fine motorcycle. There's nothing like a "V" twin, regardless of who makes them. Keep em coming. Rob
That is an AWESOME bike, wow.
Hi Jay your the best these short films are brilliant
It says muffin the Mule under the tank, an old English t.v show. not whip it like a mule.
i'm glad you spotted that too Beardyman... Muffin the Mule was a wooden puppet Mule first created in 1933 but gained UK-Wide fame on one of the first childrens TV shows on the BBC way back in 1946...so realisticly the tank cannot of been made before 1933 - bit most likely in the late 1940s...
So it was more of a nickname for the motorcycle in this case?
It was also the name of a motorcycle rally by the Nottingham 41 MCC. They probably installed that tank in order to take part in that rally.
Awesome!! Never stop brother!!
Keep 'em coming, Jay. Great looking bike.
0:50 gasoline drips on floor. Nice! Consuming fuel even with engine off.
Good god, Jay is a legend.
thank you Jay for sharing your wonderful collection with us
Love seeing that old iron on the road
thats a beautiful bike, i live near croydon and i can assure you, they are never seen on our roads anymore
Love the open valve springs, push rods etc. Looks like a cutaway engine but still runs
Excellent video! Nice to see one being used, the bit about the crash helmet law was misleading, it was not compulsory to wear one until 1st June 1973 on UK roads.Many thanks for posting this.
Incredible episode !
Love how it is dripping gas, dripping oil, dripping grease! ☺ Very cool.
Hey Jay, another great video. The tank says "MUFFIN THE MULE" A popular UK childrens TV program (from 1933 onwards) which was named, in more innocent days, with an unfortunate double entendre meaning (in england). Hence various jokes and patches claiming ''Muffin the mule is not a criminal offence". But basically you're right - take it out and thrash it!
Enjoyed this vid so much. I could almost smell the Castol R. Thanks for sharing this with us.
nice bike jay, love those old bike the way they ride, I don't know how you would not ride it every day,,,,,,, sweet.......... happy new years jay to you and your crew
Superb machine. Thank you.
Finally more motorcycle video's, great video and a beautiful bike!!
