I AM SO GLAD Billy is on here dispensing his vast knowledge to us all these years later - i doubt there is anyone better on youtube at explaining and showing how things are done - THIS IS GOLD

For what it’s worth I like when you explain the technical stuff. Also, really enjoying your videos so keep it up and I know this channel will grow.

Billy is a genius and by far my favorite builder.

Keep the videos coming billy you are a legend. Your mechanical skills are amazing

Billy, I really appreciate the way that you include us in your videos- It's almost like we're there with you. There's a lot of channels dealing with bikes but your attitude and demeaner when you're building or repairing is why I come back. Keep up the good work!

Still rocking my dad's 81 fxwg 🤘 Billy the living legend Lane on a chop. Just like 20 years ago. Damn time flys

I just celebrated 45 years of riding. Lots of memories

Sir Billy , your work is inspirational , legendary stuff

I feel the same way about my first build that I still ride almost everyday. Lil Wing a 1977 rigid Ironhead that is my all time favorite bike. Lots of cool miles. Love your channel Billy. A fan of yours and Larry for over 20 years.

I really enjoyed this video, there are times that even those of us with a lot of miles beneath us, and a lot of years behind us forget...

Never, EVER stop being you my man! Loving your content here and the many trips down memory "Billy" LANE.... I'm so ecstatic that I stumbled upon you're channel here recently. Subscribe? You goddamn know it!.......

Thanks for the great videos. Reminds me of those days before the internet too. Time sure does fly!

First time I saw Blue was during Sturgis 2003 at the museum display in Rapid City dirty from being rode hard...noticed the cracked motor mount while looking it over in by inch ..meeting Billy a couple days later and commenting on Blue and the motor mount ..18 years later Talking with Billy briefly at the chip in sturgis looking the bike over once again.. thinking this is a timeless bike and will look great another 20 years from now ..watching this video every thing has come full circle...great bikes just keep rolling on ...FTW

Wisdom wisdom wisdom & the history! ❤️ Thank ya sir. Salute

Nice memories billy !!! Your a good dude , your a hell of a mechanic, fabricator, artist !! But your love and passion for what you do is what makes everything come together !! Keep wrenching and building I'll keep watching much respect & and admiration for what you do BRO!!👍👍👍👌👌👌

I learn alot. I get a sense of the old old shed built mentality from u. Like what harley n davidson had 120yrs ago

Larry and his guys were quite the Team. You know what they say “PLAY STUPID GAMES AND WIN STUPID PRIZES”. Loud pipes and helmets save lives.

Thanks Billy very interesting story , I've still got my dad's 1988 lowrider coustom he bought new.. some bikes you have to keep.

I love your videos, because you actually show yourself working on the bike. It's not edited so that it looks easy or clean. I work on my motorcycle all the time and it can be a pain in the ass, and messy. As a former avionics technician on F/A-18 Hornets, I really enjoy your professionalism dealing with the electrical components.

Had the "fun" of changing my stator on my 97 fxd last summer. Thank God for impacts! Glad to see you're back at it Billy!!

Man I was just a little boy watching bike build offs when I first knew who you was I’ve been a fan every since

Like all the small details you explain and why you do what you do. Helps greatly on my Chopper Build project. Thanks.

This is GOLD! Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos. It is appreciated more than you know!

Billy, I have been a fan for many years. I like these new video's you are doing showing all the stuff it takes to build a bike and keep them going. The stuff we never saw on Biker Build-off. Welcome back brother.

It does my heart good to see electrical instruction videos where NO shortcuts are taken! Far too many people who decide to educate the world through a YT video will use a couple of crimp-on butt connectors and call that good. Not Mr. Lane! Not only using solder, but staggering the connectors is very smart. Way too many cars or bikes have melted and burned up their wiring harness from two butt connectors, side by side, positive and ground, then half a$$ed wrapped in black tape, and after some rough roads, not to mention all the vibrations, then it's not if, but WHEN they come apart from a simple crimp, there goes the wiring harness, if not starting a fire and burning your ride down. Billy is showing how it truly needs to be done!

Favorite builder ever, love the vids hearing from such an expert and craftsman

Awesome Tech Advice For sure !!! But My Favorite part of this video is when he shared his Nostalgic moment's with us about his History of Hard Work And Family And How Blue came to be Born and Built for George ...R.I.P ...These were Priceless Moment's...Thanks for sharing some of your Deep Personal History with us Billy !!!! Much Respect!!!!! See you next weekend at Greensboro N.C. at the Full Throttle Magazine Bike Show Jan 13th 2024...Yeah !!!! Can't wait to see what your going to be bringing to the show!

I was watching this just thinking about the old show where you were talking about a friend murdered. Then you brought it up on this show. I guess I really did watch a lot of those old biker shows. These Utube shows you do are a thousand times better than those old shows…

Damn man I’m glad you’ve still got one and it’s one you love and has so many memories for you.

Yeah what a great bike and such a history you have with it. I'm happy that is the one that you still have.

I like how in depth you go with the technical explaining!

I remember the first time I saw that bike. Been one of my favorites of all time from any builder. I saw it in Myrtle Beach, prolly ‘03, and the VQ bike was parked at the same hotel I stayed at.

its so cool to watch you work on these bikes in your shop, no music or TV drama just building and fixing.

Billy, so glad your doing what you do. Thanks for sharing. I miss the shop on us1 near eugalle . I lived on Sarno road at the train track. 10 min walk from your shop. Ride safe at Sturgis. Bam bam

Interesting and fun video. Thanks. I used to love Biker Build-Off. But this is better in a way. Less drama and better explaining. And remembering days gone by 👍👍

What a Gift it was Billy to hear you say "" it also rectifyies the alternating current to dc current because it creates ac current that has to be converted to dc current """ . countless tymes ive explained this simple fact that the rectifyier is not just a voltage regulator . Thanks a Ton !!! great work !!!

Man this bike brings back memories....The Blue Death Trap

I really enjoy watching a master mechanic at work, keep up the great content be safe brother

Thanks for sharing this with everyone I remember this bike I was In Daytona when you was there I had a awesome time thumbs up my friends

Loved Biker Build Off, but also remember you in old mags. Great seeing you working here on KZfaq.

Hey Billy really love BLUE! This is the first time I've seen it. 72 is a real special year for me to. I graduated from HIGH school in 72. I joined your channel about a month ago. Can't wait to see more. Indian Larry is PROUD Of you, that's for sure!

Keep the wisdom coming, Billy!! Thank you I’m going to remember the two hammers and how you splice in wires. When someone with experience takes the time to show you the right way to do something you’re a fool if you don’t pay attention! Great work on the bike I’m glad you still have it.

i love your videos i learn so much just watching the way you work and talk about the bikes one of the best motorcycle channels on KZfaq.

I used to love watching you build bikes on Biker Build Off, your bikes have such a nice style, stance and proportions!Rather than use two hammers, I use a knurled 3 inch long piece of 1 inch brass bar. It doesn’t leave any witness marks and it’s small enough to get in tight spaces to be used to tap awkward items.

Best 30 minutes I spend this week!

Every time I watch your videos it makes me want to get back into riding and wrenching on bikes

I still have the magazine cutout of this beauty on my wall. Nice bike Billy.

Billy, miss ya ova here in Melbourne buddy.... Chopperz Ink 4 life!!

Love watching these episodes more entertaining and interesting than most other series out there! Motorcycles never get old and neither does Billy Thank you 🙏🏻

I remember when I was a teen your shop was over on us1 right next to the bike store across from mustards last stand. It's now a golf cart sales and repair place.

These videos are amazing. I thought you had cool bikes on the build offs...but now with all the extra stuff...whole new level

These are the vids I love ! 🤘🏼 thanks Billy 🤟🏼

Darn it's good to see these chops again

Boy I bet this brought back some memories!

the technical explanations are awesome. anyone who doesn't care to learn something new isn't living

I actually had no idea how a motorcycle charging system worked. I appreciate the technical explanation.

I love growing up as a kid an see u work . An see u do biker build off

You da man, Billy. Keep up with the awesome videos.

That's awesome to go back and think on memories Billy, I was probably 9 years old when you put that together. Thanks for sharing!

I remember when you built this bike brother and I know how special blue is and has always been one of my favorites very beautiful bike man and I'm sorry to hear about your friend brother. You riding that on down the highway will help keep his Spirit alive for sure brother 💙🤟🏽🤟🏽😎👊🏽💨💥🤙🏽🤙🏽

Loving the garage time and stories with you Billy, thank you for spending the time sharing both with us. I hope to see you and Blue rolling through the Spearfish!

Also love technology. Ur awesome at explaining billy. Thanks brother.

Billy, I still have The Biker Build Off Tape With You And Larry!! I miss those Days!!! I had several. Shovels back in 80s and 90s!! Enjoyed this very much!!!

Billy lane and Indian Larry by far the best on chopper build off for sure man like the chain frame bike from Larry and misbehaving badass 💢💯

Billy its good to see blue again, your giving me inspiration to build my own bike. I love choppers, choppers 4 life. RIP nick and Georgie.

You learn something every day. This is my favourite bike. Essentials only.

This is what was missing or is missing from most channels. I like seeing the actual working/wrenching on bikes.

Really informative and the way you explain every step is very cool, you build outstanding bikes!

Hi from the Isle of Man, Billy. Really enjoying the videos. Learning a lot. Makes me feel more confident about maintaining my 78 Shovel and 95 Evo. Thank you.

Excellent show, just saw him in Tennessee.!

Thanks for sharing Billy .good to see you again. looking forward to your next video

Great story, so interesting to hear about your life . & Blue is one BAD ASS Machine …

I liked the little bit of memory lane , thank you for sharing.

As other people have mentioned I like when you talk the technical shit that's how I learn stuff I appreciate it thanks for the video take care.

Sure enjoy watching you wrench boss One of the best for sure

Good to have you back Billy

I'm 25 and I remember his biker build off where he built the candy apple red bike, can't remember the name of it save my life, also remember the orange bike that hand the exhaust going out under the rear fender that lit him on fire, and also the kick start bike with the chain drive he did with Indian Larry, biker build off and motorcycle mania was my childhood makes me happy to see them on KZfaq, so much nostalgia seeing all if them

I'm seeing this a year later damn. I'm from St.Pete., Fl. born in 75 and heard about you back in the, I wanna say, mid 90's hell I know in 97 because that December I released from F.D.O.C. and brothers I rode with showed me through a window some badass bikes on the other coast😎 West is the Best😂😂 Seriously though I'm glad to see you free and can feel your pain and love for that bike as I do about fallen brothers of mine. G.B.N.F. & MAY THEY BE OUR GHOST RIDERS!!!! P.S. I now live in West Tennessee, Adamsville boarder to be exact and really look forward to seeing you rolling buddy.

Another great video Billy. Thank you!

I really dig your vids Billy...not only watching and learning the mechanical & fabrication stuff, but all your reminiscing too. You have one of the best channels on YT and deserve a ton more subs.👍

Billy your channel is quickly becoming my favourite on KZfaq! It's awesome watching you work a relive old stories! It really takes me back to the days seeing guys like you a Jesse in the chopper mags!

Love blue...cool story that goes with it too. I like the hammer trick as well to protect the seal housing.

Somethings cool and timeless never look dated!!! That's one Badass Chop and a Shovel too which is my favourite!!

Billy , alot of us really care about that stuff - very interesting for those that dont know or have never really thought about it like myself - thanks for the knowledge

Me being a gear head and builder of drag cars, I think the explaining is cool and the history is great. I use to say if I live past 35 I've lived a long full life because like you said, it was a different time and a different lifestyle.

I’m glad I found your channel I love this kind of stuff and and the little tricks like using 2 hammers are simple but very smart. It’s nice watching someone who knows what they are doing.

For me it's much more enjoyable to learn about when it is NOT my bike. I am glad he made this video. It's full of stuff I needed to know!

I learn something every time I watch one of your videos. Thanks

It's like getting a master class! Awesome

What a beautiful bike! Loved the video as well as seeing you again sir. HOOAH!!!

I keep watching and following him since first biker build off from Discovery Channel.

I can't believe that I didn't know BIlly has a KZfaq channel.. Man I am so thrilled to have discovered his channel... It was just a few days ago that I have replaced the oil seal on my Street 750.. I thoroughly enjoy your builds.. God bless you man!!

These detailed videos are pure gold!

Thanks for sharing Blue’s story!

Billy Lane, Just know that there are guys out here that care a lot about you buddy You’re one of my heroes I love you, bro! I feel like we are friends 😂 You are awesome Keep living the dream Thanks for sharing Your chopper wisdom is infinite You are like our kind chopper wizard Be blessed my man

Your videos are awesome and the way you explain all that your doing. What you did today I had to do on my 2000 electra glide. Keep the videos coming.

every time I watch you I remember 20 years ago when I used to work in a bike shop and watched you on Discovery Channel. Back then people had so much common sense and real knowledge of bikes, always loved Indian Larry also and how down to earth and basic and sooo talented....I still work on my own bikes, and can relate to how you actually KNOW how it works, make fixing easier and cheaper when you understand how the systems of a motorcycle actually work.Thanks for the great videos !!!

Thank you for sharing your technical knowledge! You make thing make sense.

Keep up the good work Billy I just finished watching the video you did comparing your chopper Larry's chopper and Jesse s Thank you

I miss the biker build off series from early 2000s. Indian Larry & old school guys were great craftsman. Billy is an innovator & I'm glad to see he's back @ it!
