Jay Leno Honors the Memory of Big Sid Biberman

Here's a glorious piece of video interview Jay Leno did with the late Big Sid Biberman, the greatest Vincent motorcycle tuners of all times, who recently passed away at the age of 82.
A motorcycle enthusiast in his early years, Big Sid Biberman was also a gifted bike mechanic and a successful bike racer, and he became famous for his way of increasing the performance of almost every bike he touched along the years.

Jay Leno had Big Sid and his son invited to his Garage and talk about their iconic Vincati, a project which combined parts of the original '50's Vincent with Ducati DNA. The result was a v-twin with huge amounts of useable torque and more than 70 HP. Such power figures were simply huge back in the day, and Big Sid will forever be remembered as the man who could take performance to the next level in an almost magical way.

Enjoy watching the funny Big Sid discuss bike high-tech with Jay Leno. Rest in peace, Sid!
