The star of NBC’s Tonight Show, Jay Leno is now with Indian road star, Royal Enfield. The famed comedian, who is fond of classical motorcycles and automobiles, recently owns a Bullet Electra deluxe. After a long break, when one of the oldest motorcycle brands re-entered California, how one of the most famous enthusiasts could ignore it.
According to Classic Motorworks, the official US Distributor of Royal Enfield Motorcycles (based in the UK), the new Royal Enfield was suggested for Leno’s collection by Mike Frankovich, owner of NoHo Scooters, a popular scooter shop and Royal Enfield dealership in North Hollywood.
Frankovich said: “My dad and Leno were friends for many years and I got to know many of the mechanics at his garage. I was telling a mechanic about the new Royal Enfields and wondered aloud if Jay might be interested in one.”
Before long, Frankovich and Royal Enfield USA Vice President Ron Greene found themselves on site at Leno’s Big Dog Garage as several Royal Enfield Bullets were delivered from NoHo Scooters for their debut on Jay Leno’s Garage. “It was a genuine pleasure working with Mr. Leno and his team,” Greene said after as filming wrapped up for the video feature. Greene also added, “Jay is a famous collector with famously discerning taste in classic automobiles. For that reason, I know he will enjoy his Royal Enfield and I couldn’t be more pleased to welcome as a Royal Enfield owner.”
