THANK YOU ALL from the bottom of my heart for your wonderful, encouraging comments! And yes, I did talk too much...it was the excitement of talking to "THE"Jay Leno and trying to compress about 10 yrs into 10 minutes.
Thank you for being patient enough to sit through it!
With heartfelt gratitude,
Aniket
+Aniket Vardhan beautiful craftsmanship aniket.
+Aniket Vardhan You rock Sir. पाय लागू.
Wow, what amazing bikes! Well done mate
+Aniket Vardhan Great Show! I ride a Royal Enfield Classic 350 here in India. Have you done any work with the good old Jawa/Yezdi models?? That would be great!!
Bro I'm from india...a proud royal Enfield owner and I serious respect u....ur one of the best :)
I like this guy's story telling.
Me too! Such passion!
EnlightenedAce yeah but might have stretched it a bit too long
EnlightenedAce The part where he says "Should I push him in the furnace?" had me wondering just how much he was joking. Genius, and insanity/psychosis do often go hand in hand. I think he was being honest at that point. Great guy, just don't screw with his bike.
Ander Pendragon destroying months of work on a dream through negligence is a dangerous thing to do
Martin Espinoza Yep. Can't say I would'v felt any different. Two years worth of meticulous work pissed away with the rain. It was a very careless thing to do.
I love how he referred to the Harley sound as being that of a human heart...wow ...wisdom !
He tells his story with such enthusiasm it's infectious.
Congratulations Aniket. You are a true craftsmen. I will share this with my 79 yr old Father who is a retired machine shop teacher.
First guest to ever dominate the conversation with Jay.
Jay actually seemed very interested in his story
Yeah he did, and the guy was interesting. I just found it surprising since Jay normally runs the conversation, it was almost weird to see him sit back as someone else took over.
Ryan McIntyre Just goes to show what a true professional Jay is. Can't wait to see him back on TV doing something with cars and/or bikes. This was one of the most interesting interviews I've heard him do in a long time. Coolest thing, Aniket Vardhan lives in my State about 1 hr away from me! Hope to see his bikes around me out on the street. Beautiful piece of rolling art.
jcoulter43 Agree on both levels. Imagine what Jay had to put up with to make it where he is? Stunning if you think about it. They both ruled the stage.
Ryan McIntyre You think Jay's bad about dominating a conversation,well he doesn't even compare to Jimmy Fallons ability to butt-in every chance he gets.
the spirit of Bert Munro, the Wright brothers, Harry Miller and others lives....brilliant
Good coment... You nailed it.
Agreed.
This guy is so inspiring... I´m 47 years old mechanical engineer and made technical school where I was taught to fabricate all this metal parts... AND I NEVER BUILT A MOTORCYCLE MYSELF!!... Shame on me!!!
u can do it now also...
Outex Roberto Miglioli try
Outex Roberto Miglioli .. problem is that. You have never dreamed to built a bike or you never willed to build one. U can do it bro.
it's never too late, if you know how to fabricate and machine, you can build one
Remember when the Dunlop started making tyres....
AGE is just a number.
I'm going to remember Aniket Vardhan when I get in that I-can't-do-that funk. He's living proof that you can do anything you set your mind to. He's my new hero.
He's makin us Indians look good! Way to go champ!
We freaking LOVED this episode. This guy was so comfortable on camera, such a great storyteller. Good thing Jay realized this and didn't interrupt him. This was just a great video. Very entertaining. Amazingly, it was almost 10 minutes longer than the typical video on Jay Leno's Garage. We didn't mind at all. Congratulations to Aniket for a fantastic build, sounds really beautiful too.
You are the only contributor here who recognized Jay's stagecraft. Have you been on stage?
Jay is one of the most sensible and down to earth celebrities. He's a gem.
@@guitarfreak342 his videos have a time limit, that’s why. He was much more patient and respectful in this video than usual.
I met Aniket out on the road tonight, one of the nicest, most genuine people you could randomly meet. Super humble and was stoked to find out more about his craft- if you see this dude, rock on
I met this guy on at a bike night in late July. He's just like he is on this video. Humble, smart, funny, open and fun to talk to. I originally just wanted to say hello to him because I'd seen part of this video and he was riding the 750 and the next thing I know almost an hour had gone by and we were the last 2 bikes still there. (mine is restored as original 82 Honda Magna V-45) You don't meet someone every day who made their own engine. I'd love to see him make a living at this but he says to many people that say they are exited to have one fizzle out when it comes time to write the check. He needs a closer.
Aniket, you were a natural! Other commenters are right, you need your own TV show. You were elegant, refined and your bikes looked amazing! Very proud of you and your achievements.
Let's face it, it's probably pretty tough to impress Jay Leno -- and this man did -- rightfully so!
I’m here again and again.. lost count... this is a piece of art.. priceless.. neat and clean old school craftsmanship. Jay is impressed, the whole world is impressed.
I never comment, but this was an amazing story, loved it! Wow!
The bike builder definitely stole the show. He's a very engaging speaker. (probably has been refining this same story a thousand times, but it came across fresh.)
You can hear the passion when he talks about the bikes.
The guy is an artist with a great passion for motorcycles. Any true motorhead can appreciate the dream he created. Well done. We need more guys like this, real men.
Big shoutout to Aniket. you make us proud !
How
@@cherrymathew774 same nationality/ethnicity!
"Your mother would be proud."
That's a terrific and well deserved compliment.
Aniket is one of the most erudite people I've heard in a long time. He's right up there with Garrison Keillor is his ability to get the story of his work out to us.
What a wonderful motorcycle ! Anybody who knows of those great Royal Enfield's and even B.S.A's will be interested in his work too. Those were the 'romantic' days of motorcycling.
Aniket is bringing it all back. I, for one am wishing him all the success in this world. Am I impressed,....yeah you might say so.
Thanks for this Jay...
Been following the Musket on the internet for ages....Thanks Jay for giving its creator an audience....man, I love this guy....great story!!!!!
As a Brit it makes me feel Jaguar is in safe hands with Tata
Sure
Yep..
So does your wife.
Even though I'm an Indian i too am a bit skeptical about Tata motors especially about Land Rover but after looking at the 2020 defender Iam totally sold
Sorry about replying to an year old comment but yes, Ratan Tata is a proper car guy.
I've seen a whole lot of cool and beautiful stuff from Jay's Garage and smiled many many times. I smiled in a different way at this episode. Deep admiration and respect to the man who really did it himself. As much as I appreciate the big name builders and marvel at the engineering I can't think of one that could make such a claim…
Thanks to Jay, Abhi and especially Aniket. Kudos to you all.
That guy restores my faith in humanity
lol. take care of usa military complex and the world will be a Nice place
rmccormick52 He would because he is Indian they are great people generally better than average if you say that one of the guys is very hardworking and deserves nice things they do the best they can they are all like brothers to each other and Us (the rest of their customers)
And although they invented reinforcements made of metal for their buildings hundreds and hundreds of years ago they are incredibly humble and I really like them they are good blokes
Good Gravy, Jay. You Need to Hire this Man.....there has to be some projects you want to hand build and This Is The Guy to do it, in my mind at least. What a Talented young man.
Danny Walker Yeah, but if you piss him off make sure to stay away from the furnace.
Ander Pendragon I would have pushed that tool in the furnace.
***** Yes, I Agree on this also. Let the people know what he is doing-making-just an Update on this Brilliant Guy.
YES..... I Agree also.
Screw hiring him - Jay needs to get this guy truckloads of money so he can set up proper industrial facilities. We could have another Great American Motorcycle Manufacturer.
The passion of a person who has found his/her calling is always refreshing to me. One of my favorite episodes to date. Amazing.
Aniket is such a humble and amazing person. He must be an example to us all. And you gotta love the way he tells his stories :D Jay was awesome for inviting him on the show. Those bikes look incredible. This was by far, the best episode!
The part about his two years in mold, being ruined by some fly by night caster just rang home with me... He walked away and regrouped. This magnificent bike is the product of patience... Absolute amazing find Mr. Leno, thank you sir for the tears of life!
Man, Aniket is such a great guy- LOVED seeing all his hard work being recognized!!
I think a lot of people forget that for every great motorcycle manufacturer there is out there, some guy way back spent months in his garage tooling together the first prototype. It takes a remarkable person to do that. Harley, Honda, Indian, Brough Superior, HRD Vincent, they all started with one of these guys who were driven by fascination. Then the accountants get hold of things and...
And made successful businesses out of it.
The gentleman that Jay is interviewing is a natural as well as a very talented engineer (even though he does not have a piece of paper to prove it), but yet so humble. This has to be one of my favorite videos to date. Oh the bikes are amazing as well.
Jay, this was -for me- the very best video of the hundreds that you have made. Not just because of the uniqueness of the subject, but more because you had the wisdom to allow a very talented person to share his story. As you know so well, it is important to "manage" interviews so they are not boring or even too abbreviated. This was done masterfully on your part and especially so by Aniket, who has to be the most articulate designer/craftsman I've ever heard. It doesn't hurt that I have "old English" bikes or that I also have a modern Bullet, but I am most impressed by the manner in which you presented this wonderful story. Gracias
One of my favorite episodes to date. Aniket is obviously very talented, and has a great story to tell, but not only that, he tells it exceptionally well. I loved how he was such a good sport when Jay did the Indian accent, even to the point of dropping into a stereotypical Indian accent himself for a few words.
Beautiful bike, and an amazingly talented builder.
"This is as close to having a baby as a guy will ever get." Love Jay!!
Why is it those who've mastered the English language oftentimes have another language as their native tongue. Beautiful.
+mylifeisJDM Well English is an official language of India and many Indians speak it fluently...
Yes we do speak fluently now days 😁😊
Most people in India are Duo lingual/tri lingual.
I just can't rap my head around this guys ability to make a mold out of wood! Talk about craftsmanship
I would of used a 3d printer.
Same result
Miatapeace91 That's how molds were/still are in some cases made. Still isn't a lost art (and it is as much art as it is know-how), youtube has a series of channels with casters and pattern makers.
I'll have to check it out! I agree though it is an art! Any recomendations
Krevin Grard 3d printing is cool but it doesn't come close to hand carving
His description of his first encounter was absolute magic, I was totally immersed in the story. That's real passion right there, that's what drives people and to hear how it happened was absolutely beautiful.
Jay was appropriately awe struck by this young mans talents and letting him roll with his story was a good thing. Taking parts off the shelf and building something new is one thing designing and fabricating from scratch is in a league by itself, hats off to Mr. Vardhan.
This is one of the best Jay's garage. This guy rises to the top one cylinder at a time.
Fantastic... This Guy gave me killer motivation.. If He can make a Bike from scratch.. i can get mine running damnit....
Hope it's running by now...
So much passion along with modesty
the enthusiasm Aniket has for bikes is infectious! This type of passion and creativity is what motorcycling is all about. Great to see.
Pretty amazing that a simple two cylinder engine affected him in such a profound way. That's the reason why I love this stuff, things that seem so insignificant nowadays changed the world in so many ways, it's crazy.. really amazing stuff.
This young man has quite a story and I love his enthusiasm for motorcycles. A well done machine.
That foundry guy is lucky he was dealing with someone with more self-control than I have.
Frank
Fabulous workmanship. Thank god this was Jay Leno.
I shudder to think of Fallon was here.
This is my favorite episode! I love Jay pulling back and letting Aniket tell his story. I kind of watched the Musket story in real time, it's great to see it in Jay Leno's Garage.
Aniket Vardhan may say he's not an engineer but looking at that it's pretty clear he's learned a bit about engineering.
He is an architect from spa Delhi
This was one of my favorite J.L.G. vids. Aniket seems like the kind of cat that you talk to for five minutes and you get the feeling like you've known him your whole life. What a cool guy and what an amazing story. I'm glad Jay let him tell it. I can't wait to see the bike that makes 80 horse.
This is a classic example of why America is great. It is because we are a nation of immigrants! Immigrants come here because the U.S. has the freedom and the resources to do GREAT things. We don't need to stop people from coming here. We need more people like this man with brilliant ideas and the desire and determination to make them come true.
Legal immigrants. You think they hopped the border? Don't think so.
Great Thought, definitely it would come from great mind @Mr.Hill
We are so proud of you Aniket. Being an Indian, it’s really intriguing to see young people like you with passion and craftsmanship involved together with such philosophically stable mindset of not being mad in bad times. It’s 2019 and I hope this piece from the show continues to reach maximum audience. Best wishes galore. Proud 🇮🇳
More guests like this guy. What true, genuine enthusiasm.
probably my favorite guest ever on this channel!! And Ive watched every single video over the years
He reminds me of John Britten, who also made his own casts from wood forms, and was also an architect. Great story teller, I'm glad Leno just let him tell his stories. India is bike crazy, I expect a lot more bikes from India in the future.
Bike is a necessary for millions here for daily commute. So one can see vast variety of bikes and very skilled mechanics in most towns and cities.
John and Burt both had that ' Can't get it , better make my own ... ' attitude , like those two guys from West Australia that make brand new 70s Ducati motors ... this young man has it in spades , long may he persist ...
Aye, I can just imagine John Britten giving this man the big thumbs up from the garage in the sky.
Wow! Now that's a true bike guy right there. I'd buy tens of these if I could. And thanks you Jay for being Jay. You are awesome!
The passion in his story blew me away, thank you for letting him tell his story Jay.
Great story and now it's documented.
Thank you Jay.
He did an excellent job with it. I've always liked the look of the Royal Enfield, but also wished it had more power. I'd buy one of these in a heartbeat.
Just Amazing. This guy is obviously good at building bikes AND a wonderful storyteller who makes listening so so delightful. The kid in him takes over and I just love that enthusiasm.
WOW. This is REAL hotrodding.... No rich fat cats paying for other people to do the work. This guys designed, built, and wheeled his own machines. BRAVO.
panzerfaulst12345 I would pay someone to do the work if the result was like this🖤
I love his love for the standard Royal enfield
now compare the passion of this guy with the boredom of the highly paid automotive executives that went at the garage before.
I'm pretty happy with myself for doing oil changes, brake jobs,and various other motorcycle wrenching. Cudos to you for casting your own heads and building an amazing looking bike. Wow!!!!
21:54
Jay,"This was made by one person by hand.This is as close to having a baby a guy will ever get."
What a beautiful baby it is too (TWO!).
Well done,Mr.Vardhan.
Thanks to Mr.Eswarappa for bringing his amazingly talented friend by Jay's Garage.
Jay,
Thank you so much for giving that guy the time to tell his story. He is a remarkable man. Looks like a great machine.
Not only is he a passionate biker.....he is also a phenomenal engineer....Respect..
thanks so much for sharing. ;0)
All the above comments, X10. The bike, the creative energy of this creator, too great.
Old school builder, old school storyteller!
Can we get Aniket Vardhan his own show!
Cool to think that America is still a place where a foreigner can come and make his dream possible. Maybe a couple of guys up there in D.C. will see stories like this and lighten up on the whole foreigners are bad for America schtick. Great video Jay!
Its sad the main stream news has become such fake news that you believe president Trump is saying foreigners are bad for america ,president Trump is saying that america cannot afford the half million " Illegal " immigrants who come to america,take citizens jobs & drain our social services,im a black american and i know for a fact that my black family deserves any extra money or opportunities America has to offer well before some unskillex border jumping hispanic whos family never suffered 400 years of democrats slavery,jim crow & kkk.
@@michaelledford4751 Well said!
@@michaelledford4751 started out great, but you never suffered all those things...if an immigrant comes here he has the same opportunity you do.he made good use of his time...i agree, no illegals, please!
@@mzyzdr Your correct that " i " never suffered the kkk because my family was dodging Islamic hit squads in libya from 1945 when i was born till 52 when we came to the US ,my point isnt to award money to great great grandchildren of former slaves,the point is that if America has enough extra money to throw half a trillion on immigrants therd are US born americans who deserve that money a hell of alot more ,ive gave america 4 years in the Marine Corps & asked nothing in return my entire time here,i earned what i have.
Jeez this guy can talk! The only time I seen Jay stay silent for more than 30 seconds.
I am form Nepal,, and here we too love Enfield more than any other bikes,, and to watch this master piece, thank u so much for building it..
That thing sounds the magic! Great episode!
SubD! Z needs this bike!
SUB. DELINQUENT @ 17:11 One nervous Guy.. (please start.... Jay's watching....)
SubD! Fancy seeing you here!
Z would be styling on all the rest of the guys with supermotos and sporties lol
SUB. DELINQUENT Yea but he's nowhere near Z's knowledge ropes
I've seen a few blurry videos of this motorcycle on the internet, like the original sasquatch movie, and wanted a better look at it. Thanks for making such a complete video of the bike and letting the builder tell his story.
Agree!
Thanks to the Indians for keeping these lovely machines available, and thanks to Aniket for the specials
I must be living under a rock that I’m just learning about this. Such a beautiful bike. Human ingenuity never fails to amaze me. Talented man has built a gorgeous machine. Well done work of art.
What a fascinating guy Aniket is. I was hanging on his every word.
This has to be the best JL'sG interview ever. So much passion!
Wow, the passion this fella has! When he started his bike, the look on his face, its passion ❤️. Period
Great analogy "as close to having a baby as a guy is ever going to get , you make something , you create it ..." .
Also , amazing skill in making it .
my favorite Jay Leno motorcycle episode. i think Jay gave him the floor because he knows how specially gifted his guest is in both story telling and engineering skills. Jay Leno is, after all a revered talk show host.
I am not a motorcycle person at all, at all, but this guy is so eloquent that I could not stop watching. He bring to life and understanding this amazing story about this cycle that he created. What a guy!
"Do you think of this as an Indian motorcycle or a British motorcycle?" Well, it can't be British, Jay, look how clean your floor is. :)
It's definitely not a british motorbike. It's a copy of an American bike with an English engine.
It's not a copy of any American bike. He said he was inspired by a Harley he seen, to make a v-twin Royal Enfield, which was an English bike, now made in India. So all in all, I'd say his Royal Enfield is a custom British bike. Although it was custom fabricated and assembled in America, by a guy from India, and India is where modern day Royal Enfield's are made.
ITS an Engrian Motorcycle
Have you seen the Indian Royal Enfield factory? It's superclean.
Like he said it's a hybrid...little bit of all.
I've been building custom motorcycles for some fifty years, out of stock parts, mixing and matching, since I was about fifteen. I've used all sorts of parts, stock, aftermarket, but I've never cast my own parts and I am truly impressed by the design and form this man has produced. I've probably built a hundred bikes all told, but nothing as unique and singular as this. I've been a mechanic since childhood, machinist beginning in my teens, and have cast many custom parts for machinery, but never completed casting parts for an engine. This is an awe inspiring video, I hope I get to do more before I get out of my sixties. Better hurry! I've long admired Jay Leno's collection, and enjoyed his showing it to all and sundry. Thanks for this very special show.
Aniket seems like a really cool dude. Probably the best "guest" on Jays Garage
I think Jay was truly touched by this bike and its maker.. inspiring.
This episode was beautiful. Art. Leno is so good at this. He knows when & what to say when others speak ..
And he knows when NOT to speak and just allow the conversation to flow. Imagine if Fallon or any of the others were here. We would've never have heard that whole story.
This is my favorite guest to ever be on Jay’s show.
This is the first guest Jay has had that has been able to out talk Jay :D :V :P
For me this is the best Jay Leno's garage in a long time. I like motorcycles much more than cars and vintage bikes are far more interesting than current ones to me.
It is amazing that this guy built this engine, creating those patterns in wood. Quite stunning.
The motorcycle sounds lovely and looks like it is probably a pleasure to ride as well.
I think 50 bhp is about right for anyone on a bike personally. 50 bhp with a fairly torquey engine and a lightweight bike is absolutely ideal.
Jay: Tell me a little about the bikes...
Gets a TED talk
Screw a TED talk...
This man bared his SOUL in that interview!
Finally there is someone that jay Leno can listen to.
It’s refreshing seeing someone built from scratch and not from a catalogue. Someone genuinely excited and not treating it like a bad job. His enthusiasm is contagious
One of the coolest episodes!! What a nice guy, I really liked his story.
I really love this guys enthusiasm, great project too!
Thanx Jay for sharing this, Mr. Eswarappa is truly a sweetheart of a humble and talented guy. I've enjoyed Jay Leno's garage, but this episode has to rate as one of the best?
It was a wonderful story to share with everyone.
17:13 eargasm
Cool bike, awesome sound! I'm truly impressed by a man who isn't an engineer, being able to design and build a motor in his spare time. I can still hear the palpable heartbreak in his voice when he related how the original carvings were ruined by the careless casting shop. Many of us wouldn't have handled that as well as he did.
Hi there. Wish I could get some advise from Aniket.V . Like you I also grew up in Chennai dreaming of owning a bullet. Always viewed a bullet and its sound with full of respect. So finally after retirement I bought a bullet, with the neutral finder. Not the new ones. I enjoy each time I ride in town.
Another dream was to own a single cylinder bullet with twin exhaust.
I saw one in Chennai long time back. May be it was made in UK.
Is there a chance I can convert this single single exhaust to a twin exhaust.
Regards
N N Thomas.
Jay, you've had such a fantastic run on television all while maintaining character and appreciation from the public eye - additionally rewarded with a product of your passion. Thanks for producing "Jay's Garage". I truly enjoy watching.
Leno's guest really knows how to speaks, he is truly a conversationalist... great storyteller
Aniket is possibly the most interesting guest I’ve ever seen on JLG. What a lovely humble bloke, and clearly very talented.
