When Billy was on the build off, you knew a bad ass machine was going to come out of his shop. His style was always more appealing than most of the other crap that was going on at that time.

I always love how you pay homage to the people before you, or bring them in for some recognition if they're around. You're like the Quentin Tarantino of chopper building, you have your own style, but incorporate so many elements from those you respect.

20 yrs ago i was 16, watching these biker build-off episodes and aspiring to build custom bikes. Had an old xs650 frame in the back yard that i cut up and mocked up, never finished it because i didn't know anybody with a welder lol What i would give to learn even a 10th of your creativity and knowledge of fabrication.

@BillyLaneChoppers thing was nuts, pre-winglets on the front cowl, so at 180mph it would be slightly pulling up the front wheel. I went actually all in, moved to Redondo Beach and rode 12hr days, 6 days a week delivering Med weed just to get paid to ride. I was so dialed on that bike it was insane. Dodging those morons dipping into the carpool lane was wild. Lost a peg and almost a foot, another time pulled a stoppie, realized I had room to spare, so I locked the rear up to slide and match their angle, knocked on the window and kept on going. Haha This town is too small for me on two wheels, sold it. I've done enough they legit make movies about guys like me, but I'm stuck with regular old life now trying to figure out the next thing to do. If you got any ideas for where I'm at in life now, I'm listening.

That kickstand thing happened to me (I think) back in 79 on a ironhead Sportster I went into a pretty easy curve, next think I know I'm on somebody's front lawn with the bike about 50ft away in the middle of the road. Course I was hammered at the time so that could have contributed to it.. Lol.. Anyways good video..
