Mid-January Jay Leno was injured in a motorcycle crash. He was riding a 1940 Indian motorcycle through a parking lot and was clotheslined and knocked off his bike. This resulted in a series of broken bones. But this injury didn’t keep Leno down for long. He is back making videos on his YouTube channel, Jay Leno’s Garage.

“I still got a broken collarbone, two broken ribs, and a couple of cracked knee caps, so if you see me limping around here, well, you probably will for the next couple of videos,” Leno said in his recent video. “But like an idiot I am going to fix [the Indian motorcycle] and get back on it again, because as you know, once a man hits 40 you can’t really teach them anything. They just keep doing the same stuff over, and over, and over again. Luckily, I’m only 72, had I been an older man this could have been a serious accident.
“You can still see a little bit of a scar here [on my chin] and a scar on my neck [where the wire caught]; if I had been going like 50 or something, I probably would have been decapitated, so I was pretty lucky. And anytime you don’t get decapitated, well, that’s good luck,” Leno joked.
Watch the video and you will see that the comedian is walking around his shop and active regardless of the injury, and even cracking jokes about the incident.
The 1940 Indian that he was riding sustained damage on the front of the sidecar, damage on the front fender, and Leno thinks his front fork was tweaked a little bit as well. He plans on replacing the damaged fork and continuing with the restoration.
