Glad to see you're well. We met briefly at Smokeout 7 or 8 (I forget which). You were really down to earth. Yourself and Indian Larry inspired me to fab up parts for my bike (snowchain floor boards, 3 drawer tool box saddle bags, chain shifter and rear brake lever, saucepan air filter cover etc.). Then to get compliments from Eric (Voodoo choppers), Steve Sr & Jr as well as others from the Horse crew meant alot. That falls back on the inspiration I got from you guys.

Billy's just like the rest of us,sometimes he just eyeballs things ,with his experience he'll make a clean part 99% of the time.That was clean quick & simple but a lesser fabricator could have over complicated the thing. Billy looks like he's reached a good spot in his life!

I used to work for Covington Cycle City just before they went on the biker build off show. Sadly, I was fired for showing up to work late. I had a friend's uncle who was a truck driver stop in and recognized me, he took me out to eat, then to have a few beers. I was on my first beer and the next thing I remember was waking up butt naked half in the tub and my house ravaged. Later I found out that the particular bar we went to was notorious for chicks dropping date rape drugs into dudes beers with the intention of robbing them. Luckily I had my only funds hidden well, but I literally lost my dream job. I wanted to work my way up and eventually meet the one builder I've admired for many years. Mr Billy Lane. Love your work main. I promised my daughter I would build a sidecar bike before I leave this world, hopefully my illness fully leaves and we can build it. She's 5 so we got a few years.
