1971 Velocette Thruxton – Garajul lui Jay Leno
The most beautiful motorcycle ever produced! Thanks for the video, Jay.
When I was 13, a 17 year old kid with a Velocette stole my girlfriend… I am still sore but I learned about wimmin from that…
Always loved velocette since my le mk1
There was one Velocette at Baxter's meet this year. I rode my Royal Enfield Continental GT 535 to the meet. Jay, you should attend sometime.
How about bring this bike back like the BSA Gold Star. 650cc single Venom. Yes I would buy that.
I had an ordinary Venom 500, which I bought second-hand, and badly neglected, and rebuilt. Rode it for several years in the 1980's including a regular 30 mile commute into the city of London. Just a superb bike to ride, and I regret selling it. I believe that the company were still selling the big singles profitably right to the end of production, but failed financially due to having sold the LE model to police forces on fixed price contracts at a time of high inflation.
Excellent as usual
WOW, STUNNING MACHINE, MANY THANKS
he never mentions the primary reason for ownership being the intake sucking your genitals as you ride
That’s one bike I’ve never seen here in south of Ga. Got to love those motorcycle with a kick start.
It’s shame they don’t make them anymore.
Jay, love all your video on your c Collection of motorcycle. Very nice.
Wow nice bike . I knew a guy here in Lubbock that had one of these bikes. Jay you have great taste
this is a GORGEOUS bike.
🍀👍🍀😊
I had a Velocette 350cc MAC in the mid 1950s. I had trouble with the handling until I got a puncture in the rear tyre. My local garage discovered that the outer tyre had come off of an Austin 7. Once it had an Avon tyre on the back it became the best handling bike I ever had. The only thing that let these bikes down was some of the components.
Rode one very briefly years ago thought it would be a motorised pogo stick but no very smooth and handled well nice machine
I don’t usually compliment someone’s taste in anything because it takes no talent or skill to appreciate someone else’s art, but damn Jay has quite the collection of cars and motorcycles
There is something special about all the vintage big singles.
Well Jay, looks like you have a soft spot for the Velo, good man !
"this is your big tickler right here"
– Jay Leno
I can see why they shut the doors, that looks like a 50’s bike.
This is my favorite of the bikes he's shown
Wow That Is A Beautiful Bike Jay I Got A 1965 Honda 305 Scrambler Still Runs
Too bad you're not Immortal like your automotive icons from your collection. Thank you for being Leno🙂
One of the finest motorcycles ever made, unique in so many ways but the sound of the exhaust is unmistakable .
Of course, because the company was established by a German, just like Triumph.
There are a few Velocettes in my family and they are all a pleasure to ride
I'd almost forgot that comment, usually spoken at a cafe or a pub – " and it started first kick!" Always brought a grin or a questioning look. They may have thought they could stay with a 6volt system because electric start was – mmm – unnecessary. Rode Velo's regularly during the 60's & 70's. Had a Venom, Scrambler, and a Thruxton. Rode the Venom for a while as the regular ride in the late 90's and early 00's. I was working grave shift in an airline hangar in Phoenix, AZ. A bit of a juxtaposition there somewhere…Thank you, Jay, and thank you to the Goodmans, too.
I owned 2 Thruxtons in 1967-1968. One (red tank) hit a dump truck that changed lanes in front of me (Ouch!). I replaced it with a silver tank Thruxton. I think the muffler was called a Berklins silencer. One of the things that was unique is the instructions for starting. After “tickling” the carburetor you needed to “thrust down smartly” on the kick starter. They were imported into the US by Berliner – East Coast. A friend and his brother owned a little dealership. Friends bought Scramblers and Clubmans. Wish I still had it – it’s worth some bucks.
just a pure class machine , like a spitfire plane on 2 wheels
