- Applause, everyone, I bought a lavalier microphone for improved audio. And my wife says I don’t listen…
20 years later I still go back and watch all the build offs!!
Me too!
Where do u watch them? They use to all b on RUclips but I can't find them anywhere.. I would buy them if I knew where?
@@tunnelvision2day I bought this dvd box set a while ago. there are not all episodes included, but most. And for this price, you can´t go wrong.

I just type biker build off and they show up
Well the only one of Billy's I see is with Indian Larry. I'd sure like to watch the rest of his build offs again
20yrs and still watching those biker buildoffs. Great shows and GREAT BIKES.
I remember watching these shows. It brings back memories of still living at home with my mom and dad. Those were some good times in my life.
Thank you Billy for letting us into your life. You’ve inspired this 61 year old to get his 1971 Electra glide back on the road so I can pass it down to my son. Salud Mr. Billy Lane.
I was an airplane mech in the Navy. Watching you guys using the tools of the trade doing things I totally understood got my blood pumping. It seems like there is new interest in bikes lately , and it’s good to see you still leading the charge! I’m recovering from strokes and heart surgery, but after seven years recovery I’ve got the drive to one day ride again.
🏁👍🍀
Sounds like you literally got your blood pumping again too ! Glad you are doing better. Hope you get to ride again soon.
Do it dude do what the fuck you can give it the finger.
Billy, we're all grateful for all you did in the motorcycle industry. I really enjoyed this. Someone needs to explain to me where twenty years went. Stay in the wind!
I second this comment
👍👍👍😜🏴🦄🦕😁✌️🤞
I hear you brother! Just turned 50 and ask myself when did I become old dude in the shop :)..
@@bige311 I got you by eleven years. Damn I miss my youth.
I was at the old Full Throttle Saloon I believe 03 or 04 and you had a chopper in burnout pit and couldn't get it started come to find out you were out of gas. Lol you changed the industry and the passion I still have today for motorcycles. Thank you
20 years man went buy so soon.....
I drive by your old shop every day in Melbourne. We miss you down here in Brevard County. It's really cool to see how far you've come. Hard work pays off!
The most memorable part of this episode, was Rodger dedicating this build to his Daughter he just lost.
RIP.............Autumn Marie Bourget.
How did she die?
@@shouldabeenaborted motorcycle accident ..
I can’t even imagine the pain of that loss
@@BillyLaneChoppers I lost my daughter a year later the pain never gows away Thanks Billy for all youdo with Choppers
I thought his daughters name was skylar?
Would be awesome if you did these for all of your build off episodes. Hearing the stories and your appreciation for what it gave you and the motorcycle community is incredible. I know it chamged the course of my life. Thanks Billy!
agreed !!
That would be awesome. Would love to hear the behind the scenes of Billy and Larry!
You have inspired more people than you will ever know. You showed people what you can do with normal tools and a welder. Motorcycle Mania was a great show and Jesse is obviously a great talent, but the average person doesn't have access to those kind of tools. I built my first bike after watching the first biker build off. Wasn't great, but it was something that I built myself. I still one of your books from about 15 years ago. Thank you for showing us what can be done with heart and determination.
thanks for being a part of this bikelife billy. my dad raised me on old chops, and taught me how to make everything from scratch, youve always been an inspiration. keep doing what your doing man. and if your evr in cali. kets go for a ride!! shiny side up bro!
Biker Build Off was my favorite show back in the day!! Living in Florida since 1980, I remember watching you for the first time, and thinking WOW this guy is really good, and he's local. I'm still amazed at how quickly you guys could put together a custom motorcycle, and not only make it look incredible, but ride it long distance to the show. Awesome back then, and you're still awesome today brother!! Love your channel, all the best, Ride On Billy Lane....
Watching Motorcycle mania and biker build off when I was a teenager was the catalyst for me to start putting together my own bikes. I didn’t have anyone to get me into motorcycles… You, Jesse and Indian Larry were my biggest inspiration for getting on 2 wheels. Could never thank you enough for helping steer me as a young kid towards a life of building and riding choppers.
Those were the shows that got me set on owning Harleys and a love for a chopper. It took me years to get to the point where I could pick up a Panhead and Knucklehead. 20 years goes buy fast, congratulations on your success over the years. I watch all your RUclips videos to this day.
I’m 34 years old and I remember watching motorcycle mania and biker build off when I was young and it changed my life till this day. I looked up to you, jesse and Larry for all my life. Thanks for this great insight video it would be cool if you could do some for the other bike build offs you were in. Thanks billy.
That's crazy I remember watching all of those shows and out of all those you and Larry became my favorites. 20 years later I'm still a huge fan. Rip Larry 🙏
You truly captured lightning in a bottle. From one build off to the next! They got better and better!
I absolutely loved all of the biker build off videos, it really got me interested in metal work and now because of that and a turn of faith I’m a sheet metal artisan on military A/C and I love it, one of the most rewarding jobs I have done !
Billy
your bikes are amazing,your story is amazing,looking back at 20 years ago I saw a cocky kid.Now I see an amazing man who has used every break in life to rocket forward. keep doing what you do man it's incredible.
All I can say is great shows !!
Congrats on being one of the lucky few to be living the dream!
Great memories ….
Your a friggin legend Billy! I was working as a motorcycle mechanic at an import dealership in those days and we would all hang out after work and watch the build off series it was a great time. Hearing that you weren’t even paid for it makes it that much cooler, like I said Legend….
I remember reading The Horse religiously & watching that very first episode of BBO. Loved Miss Behavin' one of the baddest bikes that I ever laid eyes on. Want to thank you for inspiring me to get involved with bikes. I was also wondering where Miss Behavin' is now. Thanks once again Billy for many years of riding inspiration.
This series put a burning desire in me to build a chopper. Little did I know that our crew would put out over 10 choppers and countless other customized bikes before our decline in 2008.. My chopper which was called "outlaws ace" was decked out in the 45 cal casings in all the grips, forward controls, risers and bolt covers. Thank you billy for sharing your passion thru the build offs and thru social media. You are a icon in the motorcycle world and I look forward to what the future holds for you. Please continue to do the recap video from the build offs. I really enjoyed this one.
Respect, 2 in the morning and you still at it. Keep it up Billy. Have a great week brother.
Great series it breaks my heart to see what has happened with the bike industry with so much shit that is going on in this country we need another resurgence to bring motorcycle back into the mainstream again watched all of the shows when they were aired and use some of the techniques that you showed on the show love working on bikes and still a true gear head at heart keep doing what you do ✌️
The 1st Build off definitely changed my life. Watching you bend metal over your leg to make the tank showed me at 19-20 years old, that a guy didn’t need special tools to do metal work. We met at an Easyriders event in San Diego I think it was 05 or 06. You were really cool, we overheard where the whole crew was staying and hung out at the hotel bar with everyone and had a blast. You pushed Warren down the ramp on a luggage cart, it was hilarious. People always say don’t meet your heroes, but for me, you were the exception to that rule.
Your build off motivated many, including me. I had a 73 FLH all original. After your kick off the old gal got a new life.
Thank You
This is where I first found you and your amazing works of art, I became such a huge fan of yours, the day my daughter was born I convinced my wife to give her the middle name lane, 8-28-04 then we lost my 2nd idol Indian Larry RIP !! I was also just in Melbourne and your old shop is a golf cart place.. I never stopped following you and your artwork.. your knowledge of everything is insane.. one of your biggest fans keep it going please build something that “blows” everyone’s mind..
I like how humble Billy is, Motorcycle Mania definitely peaked my interest in bikes but once they featured Billy maaaan I was hooked. Billy's chill/laid back attitude and the fact you tell he's a genuine guy made me a huge fan of his.
Billy Lane is a massive part of motorcycle history and in particular the custom choppers,yes 20 years have passed but the reality is that it might aswell have been yesterday or 60yrs ago makes no difference between whenever and now because the contributions and innovations of a creative and talented builder have made the history books and help change and revolutionize and evolutionize the world of motorcycle manufacturing and riding culture and lifestyle in the past present and the future! Thank you Billy Lane!
I still watch these. I grew up just north of you in merritt island. I was 21 when this came out and riding an old ironhead, you and paul cox and indian larry were the role models and push i needed to chop that ol girl and start expanding my skillsets. Im no pro like you guys but ive made some cool harleys since. Not just the satisfaction of a good show but Yall helped bring a push to alot of ppl to get their feet wet choppin bikes in their garage and creating cool shit.
And the thing I'll remember about this episode the most is the classic oil drip underneath that blue bike. Thanks for all you do Billy!
Very cool of you to take us through that. A behind the scenes look at the start of a great series. I'm in the industry (broadcast mma events) working with the broadcast production team so its really cool to hear the production side that no one sees. I live by the motto "Life is about Moments". You've had so many. Here's to many more. I'll be watching. Thanks Billy.
Thanks Bro for all your Hard work! Was great to see what it takes to get Were you At NOW !! Keep on Building GREAT BIKE'S. ✌️
Really exciting hearing all the backstories Billy. Keep em coming 😃
Always thought, how awesome it would be, when you do a build off against Jesse James.
Even now 20 years later with both of you have grown your skill level constantly up.
Could´t imagine what awesome bikes that would bring to life! 🤟
That show got me into bikes and steered me towards motorcycles and hotrods. Thanks for the entertainment over the years
Hey bro, it's been a really cool ride all of these years. It's hard to believe it's already been 20 years! But time hasn't changed much except your talent! Can't wait to see more brother! PEACE ✌️
Hey Billy, I do not exaggerate when I say this first episode changed my life when it first aired. I was going down a very different path dictated by others but this opened my eyes to ‘staying true’ to one’s self. Amazing is the power of motorcycles and the people who share this passion. Still enjoy watching this episode to this day. Ride safe.
Thank you for both helping shift the industry and returning to it. Truly appreciate what you (and Warren) do. It's been almost 20 years since I first crashed on your couch too. Keep forging new content!
I loved biker build off when I was young, very cool to hear how things came about from your perspective.
20 Years later and I still get chills watching you hit that pothole!!! Ur a lucky man!!! HOPE HOPE HOPE they bring back some form of biker build off. Was a GREAT show..
I wish y'all would do some more biker build offs..just to see all the talent out there building sick ass bikes...its incredible..🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Man watching this was nostalgic. It was GBB that got me interested in bikes. The fact you guys didn't have drones or gopros and got that road footage using a van, helicopters, and big -ass cameras shooting to tape is absolutely mindblowing. Awesome narration Billy
Hard to believe it's been 20 years! The Blow bike series got me all fired up again lol. I've been collecting parts, and finally getting ready to build my first chopper. Love the channel.
I still go back and watch the biker build off videos and now knowing the background and how it all started makes them even better thanks Billy great video 🤘🤘
Awesome, it was you and Larry, and the Biker Build Off that really started me wanting to build bikes, not just work on them, which I do to this day, for a little custom shop, over here in the UK, in fact I'm just starting to gather all the bits for my next personal bike, which will have a few Billy Lane / Indian Larry inspired twists. Aaaaand I still have my original Choppers Ink denim Chore Coat, which still gets worn with pride... Keep building Billy, you, along with Indian Larry have been an important influence in my life, would love the chance to meet you one day, especially if you ever visit the UK................ Ride safe & all the best to you, and your family, and for the next ''Sons of Speed'. MLLR
Wow Brother, didn't know how pivotal Your part was in all that. Biker build off was the best of the last of my TV viewing time. I actually recorded all the episodes on VHS and watched many times. those cassettes are up at the cottage to this day. Excellent to see You Happy and still at it today. Thank You for the Top Notch Entertainment Brother.
I love the whole story from you on this monumental show. I still watch every one of the build offs. I first learned of you and Indian Larry from the build offs. You're an amazing talent and thank you for the memories
I'm only 22 lol I remember watching biker build off as a kid and it's what got me into motorcycles but the thing that still has me shook is the hubless wheel it's just so crisp, clean and beautiful. A super huge thank you, to you and Indian Larry yall are the reason for my love of two wheels.
I still love that episode, it inspired me to start building my own chopper, having some issues, but I can't wait to get back to work on it. 🤘
did you ever finish it?
I am a machinist like you and understand everything you talk about. And using what you have on hand is so resourceful and basic.
Billy, I’ve been out of bikes for quite awhile but 20 years ago your design was the epitome of what a custom chopper build was and is still true today. My Choppers Inc red pinup girl tshirt has been too small for some time but I remember that build off like it was yesterday.
Congrats on all the success.
You have built some beautiful bikes !!!!! Hard to believe 20yrs has gone by watching the shows lol guess we’re all getting old !! Keep on doing what you do and stay humble
I have always loved your passion, your talent, ability and real, real, skill. Always a fan. You are a great man.
it was a great series that inspired lots of people including me,
What a friggin coincidence! I just found a box of my coffee table books earlier today while cleaning out the garage and paged through one of my favorites, "Chop Fiction" !
Just opened up RUclips and saw this video! Thanks for years of enjoyment. Great to see you still in the shop and sharing this story!!!
Thanks for sharing the history of the show! I just watched you and Indian Larry's buildoff again, that one was my favorite. Keep on wrenching! Love this stuff
Loved this show. Part of me would like to see it make a comeback, but another part says let her sleep. Keep the videos coming Billy, your episodes are largely the reason I even watched the series.
20 years? It sure doesn't seem like it was that long ago. I do miss the biker build off's, monster garage, and the motorcycle mania tv series.
The chopper phase was great. I lived in edgewater during that time. You were our guy for choppers . Those were good times....sometimes too good bit lots of fun. You are still an awesome builder of hand crafted old school scooters. Hats off to you Billy. You have awesome skills. I had to get away from Florida because opiates were the soup of the day. I have been following you from the beginning and your still riding and building some nice rides.
I was there with you buddy, since the beginning! Those were great times, I didn't miss an episode.
There are 3 episodes from Biker build-off that are my absolute favorite. This one, the one with you and Indian Larry and the epsode where Russell Mitchell build a trike. Has it been 20 years...? Damn.. Time sure is in a hurry.
This video brings back early childhood memories for me. I was 10 when this show came out. It was one of my favorite shows to watch with my dad. I remember I started drawing sketches of chopper ideas soon after watching this show for the first time. I didn’t think they were any good but my mom encouraged me to send them out. I sent them to the Martin Brothers mainly because I was a twin and had a connection to them being brothers building bikes together. But I remember them reaching out sending some hats and posters and stuff with a cool little note, that will always stand out to me. My favorite episode was with you and INDIAN LARRY tho!! Two of the most hardcore bikers/builders from that show
Such an inspiration. Grew up in FT Lauderdale watching these shows and following Billy Lane .. dreaming of owning a MC. At 56 I purchased a new HD Heritage and rode to Sturgis by myself and met Billy Lane in person at the Broken Spoke. Highlight of my trip. I put 205,000 on that bike in 7 yrs...and still riding him. Billy Lane is my idol..love watching his build offs and videos.
Class act Billy! Glad you are still here....
Your builds are always bad ass, appreciate all the content, how to explanations/time /effort .....
The best episodes of the biker build off series in my opinion are, the Indian Larry episodes. The Billy Lane episodes and the Trevelen episodes. I could watch any of those over and over...
I liked the Martin brothers too.
It’s hard to believe that was 20 years ago-I loved the Biker build-off series. Never missed one, and watched all the reruns too. I’ve got a bad back I wrecked working so I ride a ‘07 soft tail Nighttrain in the denim black. That’s my baby, love her till death.
Darrl
Love ya Billy! Thanks for sharing your talent with all of us out here! If there was only one thing i could say, it would be you are inspiring! Be good, two wheels down.
Thanks for bringing the chopper world to all of us Billy.
A lot of those riding shots were from my sidecar rig, surprised you didn’t mention that. Otherwise, thanks for the memories, I still am proud of the work I did on those early Biker Buildoff videos, as well as Motorcycle Mania 1 and 2.
Billy your the man buddy the series was one of my favs I still to this day put the old episodes back on when I fabricating in the shop thanks for all the deadly footage billy and background stories to fill it all in much love my guy 🤘
I used to watch the Bike Build off episodes with my dad when I was a kid. I would watch them over and over again as I got older and eventually they motivated me to start building some motorcycles. Just wanted to thank you for the motivation and inspiration to make things with your hands. Looking forward to watching your videos. Thanks!
I'm so glad that you're making videos on you-tube and still helping me keep my dreams on two wheels. I remember where I was when I 1st saw that episode on tv! I was working part time as a dispatcher at the sheriff's office during college over nights and most of the time it was quiet and I could watch tv at my station. Man, thank you very much for what you do; you and your work have inspired me more than you know.
Thanks Billy, just curious, what happened to Nick? It would be interesting to hear about some of the other builders, most people know about Larry but it would be nice to hear about a lot of the other people who were on the build off shows, thanks again for all you share, it's definitely helped with working on my bike
I believe he just passed away recently .
I was 16 when the first build off was done, loved watching! Great to hear some history behind it, and great to see you still doing cool stuff. I'll say I miss the biker build-offs like back then, were fun to watch, and I still go back and watch a lot of them.
I watched all of the biker build offs helped inspire me to ride as a young family man. Have owned my 1987 Harley FXLR since 2000. Thank you for the memories and inspiration.
Hey Billy Man you brought back so many memories from 20 years ago. I watched all the build off shows so many times it changed me in so many ways. got my bike in 2004 and never looked back. made me a better person and met so many great people on my travels. thank again. always loved your creation keep it up man!!!!
Billy you are truly a talented bike builder. I'm extremely glad that you are still around building bikes 20 years later. I know that you had a rough patch and was forced to take a 6 year time out. Your obviously a humble person that owns up to your own shit and made it past that. Keep kicking ass and not giving up. I hope to meet you in person someday.
I watched that original episode and your right it changed my life .
I can only imagine what it did for your life .
What a great inside track story you told about it.
Always been my favorite builder and your great attitude and personality is part of that
God Bless and so glad to be watching you 20 years later
Don't see many of the other builders doing videos.
Keep making them and we will continue to support you.
All your stuff has always been EPIC !! All your builds from old to new !! Love the bikes !! Great to see your still doing it !!
What a great show. I remember watching this when it came out in New Zealand. You are an inspiration to all builders today
This was such a cool video! Please do this for all the episodes you were in, or in the very least the one with Larry!
I always loved going home for lunch break and watching some biker build off. Billy's episodes are the best
Simply bad ass, man! Thank you for everything you have done for the industry. You were such an influence on me, the shows gave me enough confidence to go to work for my local Harley dealership in Modesto, CA. I was a service mechanic.
Billy, you have been an awesome inspiration for bike builders. You style and ideas are one of kind. My favorite is the orange chopper with the drop seat and exhaust pipes going thru the fender. Hope you continue building cool bikes.
Doc
I'd like to see Billy, Jesse and a few other builders do a new show together. Indian Larry would've been great to see again as well. He's definitely missed and did phenomenal work. Almost every show was better than the last. I enjoy your RUclips videos today but I'd love to see you on another Weekly show for the next 20 years. You're definitely a legend in the motorcycle world and your work speaks for itself. Be safe and have a good one brother
Billy, I’m really glad you’re on youtube and we get to watch you again after all these years in this phase of your life. Your work is very inspiring and I’m working on my first ever Harley myself now.
Thank you and take care,
Han
Really cool to see the recap 20 years later .. I remember watching it air and though I like this guys take on bikes and the outside the box approach and just the simplicity of his builds .. I came to the shop about 2 years after that when I was in Florida .. sadly didn’t get to talk to you as you were working ,but would’ve loved to just talk .. glad to see you’re still doing your thing
I’m thankful for you and where you are today doing these videos. Stuck in my bubble raising two girls by myself . Your content inspires me greatly. Thank you Billy!!
I was 12-13 years old watching you on biker buildoff and you became one of my role models. I loved your style your personality you were the coolest guy around. Love seeing you back I will always be a fan. God bless you bro and thank you for being you.
Billy, this was a great recall 20 years later!! You came up to visit us in Calgary Alberta Canada, and I got a chance to meet you and get a photo with you. You were-are a top bike building idol of mine. Keep Grindin'
This biker build off was in my hometown. Loved seeing all the bikes riding around town. Billy’s bike was definitely the coolest!
Met you at the DC motorcycle show and had you sign my copy of your book. You were a genuine nice person. Took a picture with you that i can't find, but it's the experience that i will always remember. I will also remember your kindness to speak with me for a moment.
Thank you, life changing indeed. That series was the real deal! You made riding in the rain something to look forward to.
The day I watched that first biker build off I was a instant Billy Lane fan. Have always wanted one of your bikes. Love what you've done for the motorcycle world..
I was in highschool during the build off days. Was such a crazy time for motorcycles. Thanks for the awesome content!
I kept in touch with your sister Billy and I sent her pics of bikes you inspired me to build! So glad to see all this! Thanks man!!!
Billy, you are to be commended for your humble and gracious attitude. So many people in your position let the notoriety go to their head and become arrogant and self-absorbed. We met very briefly at a Biker Build-off in Houston. You were at your booth behind a table, alone for the moment, and I called your name to get a picture. When you heard your name, you perked up like "does somebody need something". I knew that if I had a truck to unload you would have stopped what you were doing to help. It's great to see that you are doing well and I wish you the very best.
When I first watched I didn’t know either of you. Jesse was the only custom builder I knew of. But seeing what all you put into making that bike, and how you did it was amazing to me. It made me a life long fan of yours. Thank you for sharing your amazing talents with us all these years.
I always loved biker build off because you had to ride to an event. Motorcycle Mania 3, history of the chopper, and the episode with you and Indian Larry are my favorite bike ones to watch after all these years.
