Much respect my brother. It does my old heart good to see you still rockin hard after all these years. You are a true lover of motorbikes. Not just a fly by nite money grabber. I appreciate you man.
Thank you, so true. Seems like vintage motorcycles have been overrun with people who only see them as a commodity. I’m still chasing the thrill these machines are capable of producing.
This episode we're right up my alley. I raced flat track in the late '70s and '80s. Home track Lima Ohio the big half mile. My 750 started off life as a little Sportster. My 500 was a custom frame powered by Yami. I was no hot shoe I was a mid packer. But it took two days to get the grin off my face. Lmao 🤣😂. Great episode really appreciated all the history. And hats off to whoever prepped that track it was beautiful!
I seriously need to get down there for the next one in TN. Thanks for sharing these clips. I've been following along with everyone's posts while I'm stuck up here working. Hope everyone gets home safe and look forward to seeing y'all in October
Thank you for the cool video Billy!! I love Flat Track Racing!! My uncle used to work for this Race Track out by Denver Colorado called IMI. They have a Go-cart, motorcross, and Flat Track. It was cool to go visit him. He even use to do the Ice Racing in the mountains. It's always good to see you. Hope you're doing well. Stay safe and have a nice day!!🤘🤘
Looks like Good Times man. Love youre still doing your thing Billy. We crossed paths back in the Marsbar (Kendal) days once or twice, but I had many a drink w/ (I think) some of your peeps Timmy & Warren, Tina, Jaime and Nicky and occasionally your brother RIP Much love man Keep living the dream Brother
🤤 i wish you guy came further North guarantee id be at every event. Those bikes are amazing! Billy you should do a set of build vids on building a 45 racer like your doing with Blow. Id binge watch it a million times.🤙🏼
Outstanding Billy. Love that you and that crew are keeping this vintage stuff alive. Especially, the board track racers. The banking on that track is insane. I don’t think the average person understands how hard that is to keep those vintage bikes with no brakes, up on 2. Great content as always Billy. Be safe brother.
@BillyLaneChoppers I have no doubt! As a side note, I wanted to tell you that even though I'm sure you have mixed feelings about your time with the biker build off series, that show inspired me to delve into metal fabrication. And my main passion today is building custom cars and motorcycles, and you were one of the people that sparked that flame in me. So I just wanted to say genuinely thank you because I love what I do. 🙏
Absolutely !!!!!!! They don't have to be monter inch motors. Simple and solid engineering and a solid power plant will do. Smaller engines would het around epa garbage also. I was just thinking about this recently when I sent 2 people riding motorcycles that are made local to me. They look like early 1900 harleys but have a small honda looking engineering in them. They are built in southbend indiana. Of you look up southbend indiana motorcycle company search results will pop up for the bikes. Sorry, wish I could remember the brand name.
Janus motorcycles. Check them out, pretty cool. The PowerPoint leaves alot to be desired but, it does make enough power. If a company built some bikes like these Janus bikes with a proprietary engine of a simple and durable design, they would probably have a line at the door of people wanting to buy.
You should go try walking through some parking lots of establishments in your city. Find out what they ride and do what’s in your blood. Make them look cool and budget friendly. Like the fat boy!!!
I’ve been doing this for 37 years, I’ve fortunately made it to the point where I do what I want to. Some days it’s rigid frame choppers, some days it’s a FatBoy or BadBoy, some days it’s racing.
Anyone....... Did billy show up to the track towing his race bike with his modern harley ? I have been hoping he would realy do that simce he posted the video of the bike trailer.
