Keanu Reeves And Jay Leno Talk Motorcycles | Jay Leno's Garage

Never thought Keanu spoke so much. He spoke more on this episode than all his interviews put together.

[mevrywhrevrywhr]

I've never seen Keanu being so animated and expressive. This was pleasant.

[ChristianW]

You can tell Keanu is in his comfort zone, it becomes him.

Incredible! I recently had a memorable encounter with Keanu Reeves through Radiant Reservation. After seeing his interview on Entertainment News where he talked about engaging with fans via an exclusive fan community, I never imagined I'd be part of it. Keanu was incredibly authentic and approachable, making our meeting truly special. His genuine commitment to his supporters is evident, and the excitement of meeting him still has me floating on air.

[TheGuitarded]

The most authentic emotion I've ever seen out of Keanu.

[GorcStew]

the problem when watching Keanu Reeves videos is you can never tell at first glance, if they are old or new.

[markeyeball]

Never see him more animated than when he's talking about motorcycles

[edenassos]

If you want a quiet guy to talk, ask him about his hobby.

[johnaron]

Keanu's motorcycles are absolutely drop dead gorgeous! Great respect for this man and everything he touches.

I'm a great fan of Keanu Reeves and motorcycles. I've been riding my own motorcycles since I was 10 years old and though I'm 62 years old, I still ride a bike, when I'm feeling well enough to do so.
While I am a fan of the aforementioned Mr. Reeves, I have never met him. On the other hand, as well as being a fan of Jay Leno, I have met that gentleman, more than once in fact.
My father has loved cars since he was a child and passed that love on to me. As a 4 year old, I was able to identify the year, make and model of essentially any car on the road at the time, thanks to Dad educating me. To give an example of my adoration of automobiles, regardless of their age, Dad told me the story of how he and his oldest brother took apart a Pierce Arrow with tin snips for scrap metal. Dad was able to describe in detail how he and his brother had done this horrific destruction. He kept closing his eyes as the story went along, recalling minute details. When the story ended he opened his eyes and gazed at his son as tears streamed down my face. At that moment, Dad knew he'd made a true gearhead out of me.
So, back to how I met Mr. Leno...
My father and stepmother had moved to Jacksonville, Florida about 5 years before his retirement from CSX. After living in JAX for a few months Dad had heard about the Amelia Island Concours d’ Elegance and had volunteered to help out anyway he could. He began with some very simple tasks, but it didn't take long for the staff at the "Amelia" to recognize that he could contribute in far more meaningful ways, which led to him becoming the historian for the event. Dad's an extremely meticulous man and with his abilities with designing databases, the job of historian was clearly a fantastic fit for his skillset.
One of the benefits of that job title was the number of complimentary passes he was accorded annually. That allowed me to attend the Amelia whenever I was able to schedule the time, and whenever Dad's house had an empty bed for me, as my stepmon and he always stayed at the Ritz-Carlton on the island.
Mr. Leno was almost always at the show and quite often had his own vehicles on display as well. Because Dad was required to be near the show's judges to facilitate the scoring results being available for everyone, I was able to visit him in the VIP tent, which happened to be where people like Mr. Leno, Edward Hermann (a major car collector) and Ruth Buzzi (another major car collector and no, not her husband, Ms. Buzzi is the car person), among other celebrities attending the Amelia. Over the years, I think I was introduced to Jay Leno 4 or 5 times, and others too.
As a note, my favorite year for the Concours was when Jacky Ickx was the Honorary Chairman. Each year, a well respected racing driver or designer is chosen to fulfill the title of Honorary Chairman. Mr. Ickx was chosen for the year 2019.
I've been a fan of Jacky Ickx since I was about 8 years old and saw my first Grand Prix on television, broadcast from Monaco. Many years later I managed to acquire pit passes for the Long Beach Grand Prix. Part of my preparation was to buy a black and white photo of Mr. Ickx taken at the 1969 Italian Grand Prix and take it with me if I was able to see him there and get his autograph on it. To his surprise I showed up at the Amelia with the same photo and ask him to autograph it again. His reaction to seeing that picture was absolutely priceless. I showed him the photo while we were passing through the kitchen of the Ritz-Carlton and he loudly exclaimed, " I was so pretty!" Everyone near us broke out in spontaneous laughter, with Jacky's own raucous laugh joining in with ours.
Mr. Ickx was more than generous with his time for me that weekend and we exchanged stories about cars, F1 and Le Mans. I'll never forget that time with Jacky ickx and none of that would ever have happened if my Dad had not turned me into a complete car junkie all those years ago.
While I'm sure my Dad will never see this post, I still want to say, THANK YOU DAD! For all the hard work we put in restoring old cars and all the memories we share surrounding those incredible things called CARS!

My favorite part about Keanu is how he is one of the most famous people on the planet, beloved by all, yet is still incredibly awkward and weird. Which is IMO what makes him so cool.

[rocco]

Actually, "I'm driving a Keanu" sounds crazy cool.

[vgullotta]

Gotta love watching someone who's as cool as Keanu geeking out over motorcycles! The passion is literally visible.

[dwayneaguiar]

Keanu Reeves and Jay Leno I can't get any better then this...🥁😎🥁...

[AGSA]

It's good to see Keanu enjoys talking about what he enjoys the most in life. He is always nervous during interviews.

[highflight]

So Keanu is a motorcycle designer who supports himself by acting on the side?

[williamhenderson]

"You deliberately take the long way home...because you like to ride"!!!

[MixtapeEntertainment]

Arch is alright but "Reeves-Hollinger" sounds like a legit, old-school British bike builder.

[Lexyboogie]

Keanu Reeves looks like and acts like a regular down to earth guy. Impressive given how big of a star he is.

[dtnetlurker]

Probably THE ABSOLUTE nicest guy in all of entertainment. Everyone loves him. No confrontation, no spouting off an agenda. No talking trash. Just a genuinely nice guy you'd love to have as a friend or neighbor. He also loves his fans and is never too busy to sign an autograph or pose for a quick pic. How do you really spell Keanu? C O O L!
