Billy Lane, I just can't believe what an incredible mechanical genius you are, in the way you can fabricate ANYTHING and make it work so well along with your amazing knowledge of every part of every bike you ever worked on! You always leave me so inspired and appreciative for people like you who can also convey that message in such a confident manner! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Keep those videos coming! You're the best!

You’re a good teacher. The more mechanical tutorials, the better. The 100k subscriber milestone is right around the corner, and well deserved.

Thank you for the compliment. Crazy fact from KZfaq analytics is that 83% of my views originate from outside my subscriber base. That’s been consistent since I started uploading here.

@@BillyLaneChoppers You’re welcome. That’s wild. They need to subscribe. Perhaps a gentle reminder at the end of the videos won’t hurt, whether it’s verbal or just pointing at a “Subcribe” sign at the end. It’s not begging, it’s reminding. And thanks for the ugly shovel series. It motivated me to go out and buy another shovel, a fixer upper project that was in a shed for nearly 25 years. It’s an 84 fx (chain final drive) and I should be riding it soon. It’s already painted in flames though, so I won’t have to set the tins on fire ;) And thanks again for the great content.

Congratulations on the channel's success. 2 hours in and you've already got nearly 1500 views. I was impressed with the paint job result. I was a bit apprehensive when you pulled the tape off, but with the gold pen and aging, it was a epic result. The linear damper was something new I learned. I've seen them on super sports, but didn't realize you could clamp one on to the fork like that. Good luck in Tennessee.
