Jay Leno puts eight wheels on display this week for <em><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/jay+lenos+garage/">Jay Leno's Garage</a></em> from a quartet of retro-inspired <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/bmw/">BMW</a> motorcycles. They are the creations of husband and wife team Larry and Carol Romestant, who build each one in their home garage.<br />
<br />
Larry is a former aerospace engineer who loves BMW bikes, especially the K models. Now, he's combining his passion with a real talent for fabrication to build his own cycles with his wife. With Larry and Carol the only ones working on these projects, it takes them six to nine months to build each one. In addition to the old-school looks, the motorcycles are supposed to be a bit more user friendly than stock. For example, one of them ditches the standard five-speed gearbox in favor of a six-speed unit to be a little more comfy when cruising at high speeds.<br />
<br />
Since there isn't enough time to take all four of them for a ride, Jay picks his favorite to test out on the open road. <a href="/2014/07/28/jay-leno-retro-bmw-motorcycle-video/#continued">Scroll down</a> to see which one he chooses.<p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2014/07/28/jay-leno-retro-bmw-motorcycle-video/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Jay Leno puts focus on some retro-inspired BMW bikes</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;backgr ound:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2014/07/28/jay-leno-retro-bmw-motorcycle-video/">Jay Leno puts focus on some retro-inspired BMW bikes</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblo g</a> on Mon, 28 Jul 2014 19:59:00 EST.
