We recently saw Jay Leno getting up close and personal with the Harley-Davidson Project LiveWire, and here he is again, putting eight wheels on display this time, from a quartet of retro-inspired BMW motorcycles built by the husband and wife team of Larry and Carol Romestant, who build each one in their home garage.

Larry is a former aerospace engineer who adores BMW motorcycles, 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 said to be a bit more user friendly than stock. For instance, 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. Since there isn’t enough time to take all four of them for a ride, Jay picks his favourite to test out on the open road.
