I met Mr. Lane October of 2005 during biketoberfest. I was in on leave from overseas and his booth offered to fix anyone’s bike who rode to the event. No more leaky rear brake line. Thank you again sir!
Man he sounds totally focused now. More engaged with branching out with his craft. You can tell he went through a true self assessment and realized what he almost threw away. This is good shit!
I was a huge fan of Billy Lane , I am a huge fan of Billy Lane and always will be a fan of Billy Lane. I have travelled 1/2 way around the World (I arrived here at the wrong time , but im still here) to meet this incredible bike builder . I am 4 hrs away , so maybe I will have to Harley up and go track him down. Wow , what an honor that will be.
Here in Detroit, we uncovered an 80 year old board track Velodrome that was used for racing for many, many years and then forgotten and left to rot and collect dust. A bunch of people here are restoring the track in sections and racing on it in the mean time! I'm glad to see Billy digs the pre Knuck engines!
Really nice to see you back Billy. Super talent who KNOWS what's cool. Always wanted to see a proper movie made about board-track racing because those guys had balls of steel and I don't think many people know about or appreciate it. You're an original brother stay well, stay healthy. So cool to see you doing this.
I cant tell how glad I am to see Billy carrying on with what he loves. Im moving down there in a week to build and repair bikes myself. I sure hope to meet him sometime to tell him I support him. Thanks for shooting these videos, I caught your other one from bike week. Yes Billy has been through some things in the past that humbled him,, but even before that he always seemed humble to me, unlike most of the big name builders!
I cant believe its been that long since Billy built that 1st hubless bike. Man how time flies. I still have a image of that first bike as my screen saver.
FROM 1 BILLY 2 ANOTHER BILLY... THX FOR DOIN WHAT YOUR DOIN. BY KEEPING THAT OLE SPIRIT LIVE and BRINGING BACK THAT TYPE OF MOTORCYCLE HISTORY RACING AGAIN. ( KNUCKLE👊🏽BUMP ) Billy Lane 🏁🚲 .... [ Edited ] 🗣️ Yo (RICK PETKO) ✌🏼 .....
That's a very cool adaptable frame for vintage motos. As in all superior engineering, simplicity of design and function are important features worth having. Anyone can make frames and custom parts that are more complicated and prone to breakdowns.
Great to see you back Billy. Move on buddy, you have everything you need "TALENT" everybody learn life in different ways, that's your turn now, you will be back in your first bike builder place again. God bless you.
I like the vintage bull dog from mack trucks Dont know if they are still making them but back in the 70’s working at the factory they put them on the doors of the trucks Chrome bull dog indicated mack truck with something other than mack running gear Gold bull dog indicating a mack truck with mack running gear (engine trans differential) Mack was the very few truck companies to build there own cab chassis transmission rear axles Which earning the gold bull dog badging
Damn bully is swoll now damn. I use to live down the street from his shop near Melbourne and he was a lot smaller. Glad to see him back and kicking ass
hey Billy ,you can bring some stuff to my house I got lots of room in the garage! always like to help out a friend. But seriously keep doing what you do , you are the original, guys can design and guys can fabricate, but you're the best at what you do, GOOD LUCK bIll.
At 2:53 Billy explains ''The Sons of Speed'' and why he's trying to bring back Board Track Racing. As much as i like & respect Billy Lane, he is a day late and a dollar short on reviving Board Track racing. Billy was locked down from 2009-2014? Prior to this period, Scott Brown & Michael Lange had pre-1929 Board Track Machines running the race program at the AMCA bikedays.com Wauseon events on a dirt track 1/2 mile oval! 2016 was their 10 year anniversary. Also, The George Brothers have been running the same program at the Chief Blackhawk Davenport, Iowa Swap/Race Meet every September.
Thank you Billy that was a great interview so much knowledge & information solid sell me a 😮Coddington swing arm Billy or try too find me one 02FLSTF thanks 🙏 man
Man...............would like to have some of those engines. Billy, if you ever need a damn good mechanic with machine shop / fabrication experience contact me!
It's too bad that it took him accidentally ending someone's life to change his own. I have lots of respect for Billy Lane now. I never liked him before the accident.
Ol Sport1+ 9 thumbs down now. I'm sure those 9 idiots haven't ever built their own stuffed animal bear at Build A Bear, let alone a motorcycle or car. Very few people who have done it or do it on a regular basis talk shit about anyone. They know no matter what kind of bike you build, if you do as much as you humanly possible can on your own, then you're in it for the right reasons and no one has a right to judge you. Creative criticism is only acceptable from people who have put in as much time, effort, sweat, love, sacrifice and blood as the person they're critiquing. Other than that, everyone else can go fuck themselves.
I didn’t give it a thumbs down but maybe, just a chance, people gave it thumbs down bc they are still upset Billy killed someone. I mean, that could be why...

Great positive remarks GOOD, I did 40 years swedish Army. Take care
Man he sounds totally focused now. More engaged with branching out with his craft. You can tell he went through a true self assessment and realized what he almost threw away. This is good shit!
Billy and Sheriff, thank you for taking the time to produce this for all of us to see. Very much appreciated

Nice to see the older bikes getting some air again. The engraving is outrageous.

You absolutely have to love and respect this guy
That 34' Harley race bike is just amazing, I didn't even know they ran alcohol back then. Gosh what a bad ass piece of history
Nice story thanks for updating us on Billy Lane.
That's a very cool adaptable frame for vintage motos. As in all superior engineering, simplicity of design and function are important features worth having. Anyone can make frames and custom parts that are more complicated and prone to breakdowns.
I love old race bikes looks too. He has good taste.
The guy filming and doing the commentary sounds like the swede from Hell on wheels

I like the vintage bull dog from mack trucks
Dont know if they are still making them but back in the 70’s working at the factory they put them on the doors of the trucks
Chrome bull dog indicated mack truck with something other than mack running gear
Gold bull dog indicating a mack truck with mack running gear (engine trans differential)
Mack was the very few truck companies to build there own cab chassis transmission rear axles
Which earning the gold bull dog badging

Billy. Much more respect to you from the over 40 crowd when you lose the man bun. Older bikers hate that shit!
Better to have a bun than being a prejudice dick. Everyone hates that.
@@mortenhansen3455 Probably temporary while he is growing his hair back, His is actually the only one i have seen that looks good
My Austrian grandmother taught me to say nothing if you have nothing nice to say
Get rid of the man bun...
Nice video, thanks!!
