This episode was the best episode in the biker build off history.
Agreed. They did a few more good episodes, then the network tried to change the show in a way that made it worse-not better.
Historic!
This was the best episode the whole network ever produced
I remember like it was yesterday. Billy and Larry were the iconic team.
Both are all over my garage gallery, and Billy still going today keeps me in the circle of the love and the passion and the style for what they created.
Highly agreed. Both my idols in one build ofg
The way you've always spoke of Indian Larry, next level, true mastery and other signs of respect has and always will be one of your strongest brotherhood values. Hopefully shines light and influences to some of the next gens. Keep it coming!!!
I was in your shop in Melbourne over 20 years ago and was welcomed like a long lost friend. I have never forgotten that time. Still riding at 66.
That’s great to read. Nothing has changed. We’re still the same
The love and respect that he has for Indian Larry. He's even wearing an Indian Larry Motorcycles shirt! Glad I got to see all this stuff in the early 2000's I was in my early 20's and these guys to me were so cool. They still are :)
Thank you Billy I remember that show like yesterday Thanks for remembering Indian Larry he is amazing and its great to see you both together just re watched the show.. thanks for sharing with us again
One of the greatest, if not the greatest episode in motorcycle tv history. "Brotherhood and true friendship is worth more than all the money in the world." -Indian Larry
I meet Larry the morning he had his accident and it was just a sadness and disbelief at the rally that day he was such a great guy and will always be missed 👍🏻
I just wanted to say thank you to you and Indian Larry and this episode of biker build off … I’ve always been into bikes since I could remember and when I graduated high school in 2011 I got around the wrong people and long story short became a homeless junkie and about 6 years ago I got sober and went to back to school for welding and machining and shortly after I built my first chopper where I actually hand made all the pieces and now I have my own precision machining and welding shop and although building bikes is not what I do here for a living , You and Indian Larry were the major inspiration and influence for me to get my life together and learn the skills I needed to do what I love for a living i never dreamed in a million years I would be were I’m at in life and doing what I love and having the skills to accomplish anything I set my mind to … so once again thank you!!!! 😃👍
You're a great storyteller, Billy. The way you describe your relationships and history is amazing. I hope you can do another build off some time soon. I miss those days. God bless you brother.
Bring those days bck.. hellzz yeah
All day bro!!
Great to reminisce about what was definitely the best 'Biker Build Off episode ever,
I'm sure I'm not the only one who found this very emotional as you talked about Indian Larry. There were several times throughout the video where I got quite tearful, and I noticed you (Billy) had to pause for a moment at one point.. RIP Indian Larry ❤❤
I'm a Black biker and I fell in love with this show! It had me building old school bar hoppers (6) while my friends was on street bike.. My best bike was a bike that had Indian Larry's tank on it that he threw away.! And I still tell people that's was a biker lifestyle that I loved the mostand glad i did it,, now that I'm on a 2019 roadglide 😅
It was such a great show and brought a lot of notoriety to the chopper industry and it's a show that needs to be brought back. Blue is such a cool bike because it's so old school.
I don't even ride but got turned on to you in the old Biker Build Off series. You come across as a good guy, hard worker, and someone who enjoys what you do. Glad to find you on youtube and am spending time getting caught. A no BS bike builder.
About 10 years ago I brought 4 of Larry's bikes across the country from Brooklyn to San Francisco for Chopper Fest, Larry's bikes were truly works of art. Also was up close with the bike you took part in building after Larry died. I have an old t-shirt of his I'd like to send you.
Twenty years ago wow. I remember watching this when it first aired.shows like this made me want to ride.
Funny, there are people who come into your life that make such an impact you can't even explain. Larry was that for you and maybe you and Larry were that for the rest of us. You both have inspired me not only to love American motorcycles but to love life and live it ! Thank You
No need to thank us Billy. Thank you for allowing us to follow you through your journey. You and Larry definitely my two favorite builders. You take care and stay.
I love hearing your stories Billy. RIP Indian Larry!
I remember that episode like it was yesterday. What an amazing time in the bike building world. Two titans of the chopper world, working together as friends, and becoming brothers in the chaos, the madness, the laughter, and the love of it all. Luv ya Billy, long live the Mad Genius Indian Larry ❤️ 🙏

You are a humble person, and one hell of a bike builder , in my book you are the best of the best. Enjoy always.
What a classic episode, I've seen it atleast 50 times over the years.
I’m so happy I was a teenager back in those days those shows definitely put my life on a different trajectory and I’m so thankful for that! I’ve hung out with Jesse a bunch of times, hopefully one day I’ll get to meet you in person and shake your hand!
Right on.. I remember seeing this episode on discovery channel ( as people say ).. back in the day.. now seeing you RUclips channel, makes me appreciate all of my motorcycle crazy that I have.. thanks Billy.. and again “” Right on “”
What stuck out to me the most as a kid watching this episode of Biker Build Off was how neither of you were in it for the award, you were in it solely for the camaraderie of building an epic bike and showing it off to the people. From Larry flat-out refusing to force you to forfeit the prize to deciding to share the award with everyone in the crowd, much to the horror of the production team! do remember my dad absolutely freaking out seeing you and Larry chopping up the award on stage with an angle grinder and no safety glasses as he had gotten a tiny spec of metal in his eye while angle grinding.
Overall, love these kinds of videos since there is so much more that went on, that never would make it to air. It helps keep the story alive and hopefully inspire the next crop of bike builders!
I love the comradarie and respect these artist have for one another, as much as I love the bikes they build.
Thoroughly enjoyed watching this!
I Love this Video, and its an Amazing Biker History, by 2 of the best Builder ever
I seen this video several time, and can't get enough of it, so I se again and again
Thank you for watching, it’s a great memory
I can't believe that was a 40 plus min video it went to fast I could watch videos like this all day bro definitely the best biker build off of them all and your still the best builder in my opinion. Loving the videos so keep em coming and keep the rubber side down
I watched that build off back in the day.., watching Billy reflect back was priceless! Indian Larry was a great loss. Thanks for making this vid…
Great story, thank you for sharing and taking the time
Hi billy - been following you for years went to bike week Florida in 2004 came by your shop you were there in the back out of view banging on something and was blessed and meet Indian Larry he was kind and very talkative and gave me all the time I wanted and autographed his posters for me . Also loved your shop I bought shirts loved your trophies you had hanging on the wires around the ceiling !
We were there and got autographs from you and Larry ..I still have the signed hat and T-shirts from you y'all on that day.. Great story telling.. Thanks for the memories! RIP Indian Larry...
thank, you Billy watching that build off but to hear you today so much history absolutely incredible my hats off to you and your good friend in ours Indian Larry May he rest in peace.❤🤘🙏
wow is all i can say! Thanks for sharing Billy! What an amazing story and tbh that was THE greatest biker build off episode ever
I watched the biker build off shows. You and Indian Larry's builds were always my favorites. The metal working was always outstanding but the real standout for me was always the imagination. I'm a welder/fabricator by trade and I learned a ton by watching you fellas. Thanks to both of you and RIP Indian Larry.
At a time, never done before, and never done since.
Good to see Indian Larry Covered. You are very fortunate to have worked with The Top Chopper Builder, In The U. S.
Thanks Billy!
Christ Bless You, Billy Lane!
Billy, been a fan since day one. Glad to see you doing the RUclips thing and keeping it alive. Please keep it going
Much love and support Billy!!🤘🤘
Wild Child and Ol Blue are some of my favorite bikes ever built from 2 of the best bike builders in the world. That build off episode was the best out of all of those episodes. What a story for all ages to hear so thank you sir. R.I.P Indian Larry.
Having a Billy Lane built motorcycle is on my life bucket list 😅
Sicck *Bikes* fur sho
Hard not to instantly like a guy like you Billy...true biker to the bone
Amazed at how much of the episode I remember listening to this. Hard to believe it was that long ago. Legends!
That was the Pinnacle of Brother Hood. What a great show. RIP Larry.
I love hearing all your stories Billy. I feel the same way about you as you feel about Larry, Who is one of the all time masters.
Agree 100% Billy and Larry are two of the best that ever did it IMO. Two of the realest and most down to earth dudes. RIP to Larry, he will definitely be missed.
I remember watching this in 2003. And was so impressed by how two people that were so supposed to be competing went against the rules and were helping each other.Ever since I always loved Indian Larry and his outlook on life, and how his principles and beliefs were never influenced or tainted by money or other people ( like the tv producers). Billy was very similar thats why they got along so well. I named my cat Rat Fink, cause I remember Indian Larry liked him from Big Daddy. These were genuine guys who are missed everyday. Billy carry on this legacy of genuine uninfluenced and good charactered people. Hard to find good people like this now. Appreciate you sharing your experiences with us Billy!
Billy, this is great stuff man! Thank you for sharing the behind the scenes, I met you one bike week at Laconia Broken Spoke, also met Larry couple times too, at different bikes weeks, awesome video man and God bless
ALWAYS love behind-the-scene coverage. It puts everything into context!!!.. Thanks for sharing!!!... 20yr anniversary. How time flies.
First off. I had never heard of Indian Larry until this episode. Second it was the best episode of them all. Third life is about stories and that one was epic. It's one of the best I've listened to in a long while. I'm so glad you made this video. You should start fixing people's basket cases and junk and filming it. You would get so many followers. Your knowledge could make someone's dreams come true.
Awesome comment, thank you. I know it was a lot of talking, but I feel that Larry deserved to be honored appropriately. I actually do a lot of what you suggest. I have so much content to edit &!upload. Please keep watching.,
my favorite episode of BBO. you and Indian Larry were my favorite two builders. i even had the same pinstriped shoes you had that they used to sell in The Horse magazine. ill never forget Nicky Boots grabbing BBQ ribs from a trash can in Sturgis and eating them, funnies moment ever on BBO.
RIP Nicky Boots
ill never forget larry me an my nephew were maybe 10 n 12 walked up to him in Daytona and older fella tried to over talk us kids and he shut that man down so fast to stop an talk to us kids ill never forget that man was the nicest person ive ever met
I still watch this episode today in the shop when I’m building. You guys are the best!
What a brilliant story, you must have a load of tales you could tell us but riding with Indian Larry has to be a great moment in your life! Thanks for sharing it and ride safe!
I remember that episode!
That thing would not start & Larry was such a good friend - He even stopped & helped you get that thing running right! He was such a good hearted dude!
Says it all about Larry
Wow awesome awesome. 20 years can go by awfully fast 👍
Yeah, it was a really great show. Top shelf. God bless Indian Larry. Thank you for everything Billy.
Huuge fan of yours going back to those peak years of the early 2000's Discovery Channel biker content. Loved all the bikes your built for that series, Always loved your builds man and still enjoy your content to this day. thanks.
Great story, thanks for letting us know. Indian Larry was one of a kind. I had the privilege of riding with you at the ligase ride at Easy Riders. the year he passed in a rainstorm what a memory. Thanks!
Wow, that is an amazing story I watched all those shows back then but wasn't aware or at least didn't remember all the things you just told us you have some great memories in that head of yours awesome man !!
I remember this show well. Its a shame Indian Larry is no longer with us.
He was a extremely talented and good dude. R.I.P LARRY. gone but not forgotten. You. Larry and Jessie are all very talented builders.
That was a awesome moment in motorcycle history
Great story great life…
Even better the second time around!
RIP Indian Larry & Nick
That was an epic episode! I'll always remember it and its great to revisit it again
I remember that day like yesterday 😔 they was something about Larry he was one of them old souls. Laid back and just look at things different in life! Would give you his shirt off his back! Indian Larry lived his life to the full!! Thank you 🙏 Billy for making this episode with Larry. And making this RUclips video about the build. Take care Billy from the land down under 🦘🤘👊
Damn this episode got me in my feelings. Thank you for sharing!
What a great heart felt dedication⚡⚡ Your Respect and Love for the Legend INDIAN LARRY shown through from start to finish⚡⚡ Your good people Billy⚡⚡👍👍👍👍👍⚒️
I was obsessed with those shows when I was younger because of you, Larry, Paul Cox and Jessie. Never would have thought years later Id be able to watch you talk abiout it on a website like this. Beyond cool man!!!!!!!! Glad you to see you still doing what you do! I would do about anything to be able to apprentice under you.
Best episode, hands down! I miss the brotherhood and the work ethic that was showcased in this era. You are a great story teller as well. Awesome trip down memory lane!!
Watched this on TV in 2003 it was a great time to be a kid.
Thank You Billy, me and my dad love watching Biker Build Off!!!!!!!!
Thanks for this video Billy, It’s great to here the stories behind the show
Glad you enjoyed it
Such a great story. Thank you for sharing! You and Larry are huge influences on bikes I’ve built.
Thank you for doing this. This puts a lot of questions to rest.
I remember watching this multiple times. Thank you for this video, I've lost my mojo working on my own bike, im hoping to get back onto it one day.
I hope you do
Great video thank u for keeping Larry's legacy alive sure miss him.
Wow, great content. The world is still mourning the lose of a legend.
This takes me back! And still so beautiful!💜 was a great year in Sturgis 😉
Remember the show. This video is Priceless !! Thx !!!
Your a legend as well as larry is Billy. I watched all those build off episodes and yours and Larry's was the best ones. You guys are why im still riding and always will ride...
Im glad your doing you tube videos Billy keep it goin man!!!.
One off my favourite build offs. And the riding scenes were superb.
What an incredible American journey, thankyou for an amazing story.
I can say I am fortunate enough to have the same feeling every time I get to ride with my wife now that she became a full on rider herself. That episode was the pinical of what true biker friendships are and continue to be . Thank you so much for posting this Billy . Love it
I just want to say it’s been a pleasure following y’all all these years. You have kept the fire burning hot. Motorcycles and especially choppers are what keep me going every day. It’s surprising how such a machine can do so much for a soul. Sad that Larry couldn’t continue on the journey but I’m glad his memory will never be forgotten. Positive vibes to you and your entire family. It’s been fun watching you and the girls grow through the years. Keep up the great work. Hope to meet you in person someday. Keep the faith and Forever Two Wheels.😎
I probably wouldn't be riding motorcycles if not for you guys and builders like you and Larry!
That’s probably the highest compliment a person could pay me. Thank you
Great Story, thanks for sharing
Biker build off was some of the best TV ever shown
100%. We need it again with modern builders. The style today is far different. More 60s old school panhead chopper
Loved the biker build off shows seen everyone of them so cool to see how it’s done wish they would make more. Thanks for the behind the scenes update on what was going on, can’t believe it’s been twenty years.
Thank you for this Billy, I got to feel a little of that moment in time 20 years ago as I followed you on this journey. That was such an incredible time and you and Indian Larry created more than just spectacular bikes. You created a culture, a moment in history I still talk about to this day because of the relationship you and Indian Larry formed almost instantly. It inspired my own journey as two years later I bought my first of many Harley's. Keep 'er shiny side up good sir and God bless you and all of yours.
Greatest episode ever for sure!!
I was 15 years old watching that episode and brother, I love you Sir. Your work is beyond genius and timeless. I watched your episodes as many times as I could. Watching you ride down the road on a stretched out fat tire chopper is what I dreamed of doing forever and now 20 years later I have a stretched out fat tire chopper. You were and still are an inspiration to me and all, Thank you Sir.
This episode larry and you were a big part of my late teen early adult hood i grew thinking u guys are the coolest the chopper craze of the late 90's 00's was so cool. it reminds me of better times never forgoten any of u guys thanx billy and R.I.P Indian Larry two of the greatest bike builders and cool guys of all time. True style never dies
This brought back some good memories watching Discovery Channel and the build offs 👍🏾
i could tell huge king was pissed when i watched that episode, when you guys chopped up the trophy that was my favorite biker build off episode seeing yourself and larry work together was truly awesome . thanks billy for that great story that happened behind the scene ! thanks chris
Awesome video, glad I stumbled across it! I remember when this original episode aired, really great to hear to the behind-the-scenes stuff
The biker build off episodes with you and Larry mean so much to me and my dad. We watched them when they first aired and still rewatch them to this day. So it was really awesome to hear more about your experience and what it means to you. I'm 33 years old now and it's wild to think you were doing all that at my age. Thanks for sharing brother
This was my favorite episode of biker build off. Thanks for sharing all the extra details.
My favorite episode, loved Larry’s bike. Really neat to hear the back stories. 👍🇺🇸
Fun to hear the behind the scenes stuff. I can't imagine what you went through when you snapped the second main shaft. Unbelievable.
Epic!!! Days, thank you for hands on, your creative attitude. Now the turning back time and you rolling out the flatheads!!! Once again Thankyou again!!!
Following both you and Larry for a long time, a ton of respect for both of you, as builder's, and as friends
Yesi Billy. Your humbleness is appreciated n needed on this planet my bruvah. God bless you from London town ☠️☠️💯🎯
