Although Jay Leno is no longer host of The Tonight Show, this just means he has more time to play with his eclectic collection of vintage cars and motorcycles. One such example is this unrestored 1936 Harley-Davidson Knucklehead, which he bought back in the 1980s and let it sit for a few decades in his garage before recently getting it running. This 79-year-old bike, with overhead valves, apparently has no trouble keeping up with traffic. We'd like to thank Jay for sharing this rolling piece of history via Jay Leno's Garage, and we encourage viewers to also enjoy the archival parts of this video, which show how motorcycles were enjoyed back in the days when Franklin D. Roosevelt was president.

"This is the bike that I think made Harley-Davidson."
