Sons of Speed 

An old duffer on my paper route (around 1982) told me about the fun and carnage at the board track in Altoona PA. RIP Mr Miller - I hope you are watching these guys from above with a childish grin on your face.

This is real racing. People racing, available to anyone from all walks of life. Awesome video.

Bringing back the old school is always cool.

Great no nonsense film... been following Billy for some years from Denmark via RU-vid. A huge inspiration.

I just built my first motorized bike and I am obsessed with board track racing this should definitely make a comeback

Old bikes old boats old cars old airplanes. So much fun. Great film!

Billy is a true King, the passion to bring back to life so many bikes from history not only to see, but to race! Man, I'd give my sister away to race one for a day 👍🤣

It was Awesome to see Rick working on a bike . He and Vinny were the real stars on OCC

What a blast. Proud to represent Team American Iron Magazine on my 1915 Harley racer. Thanks Billy!

Rick & Billy glad to see traditional biking re-lifed. Long live the board-track heroes. American Chopper and Biker Build Off fan , even have Billy's Build a Chopper book still... and loved watching Rick work with his hands in metal fab on OCC. Thanks, you are my long time heroes.

Bringing the love and joy of motorcycles back to where it started. Just amazing

Keeping history alive! Good for this man! Thank you for doing this!

I love what Billy Lane is doing. The bikes themselves and or replicas brings back so much from the past. Love it all. Good luck and thank you.

Naming your bike 'Death Trap'. Now there's honesty. Nice to see a real race, not a few leisurely demonstration laps. Bikes of a hundred years old getting a serious spanking again. Doing the 'ton' on what is still essentially a re-worked pedal cycle has got to be a hell of an experience.

I think this whole thing is fantastic, bringing back real V-twin board-racers!!! Awesome! :-)

THIS is some of the most exciting racing many people will ever see, it's the spirit of the game. being flag on turn 3 and pit sweep I got to see up close and personal what Billy's vision has become. Everyone involved it committed, competative and true motorcycle entusiests, my people.

Love seeing these old motors doing what they were built to do instead of sitting in a museum collecting dust. Go Billy Go and the rest of you guys and gals.

Rick Petko, Billy Lane and Paul Cox all in one video and one hobby. Incredible. If only Indian Larry was around to see it. I'm sure he'd love Sons of Speed.

This gives me goosebumps all over in a beautiful way! The ones that were in that epic beginning of the motorcycle racing heyday were cut from a different clothe. Fearlessly feeling alive as it gets. Nothing beats that adrenaline of no brakes no nothing 100 mile an hour speed. Billy plus all the guys and gals bringing this lost art back into reality is pure passion at the highest levels. It's amazing to see what Billy has and is creating for these old heart engines that need a new body of life, and he's doing a righteous effort to say the least! These machines being actually used and not only art is the way it should be, and by these new blood with old souls bringing it back it just adds to the beauty of motorcycling as a whole! It's as PURE as it gets!

Thanks for being you Billy Lane. So glad to see you're doing well and healthy. You've been very inspirational to many people.

That was fucking beautiful. The production, soundtrack and of course those gorgeous bikes with a story of one mans dream. Love it.

Good to see Billy still into bikes. I love seeing people who restore or rebuild these old machines.

One that rides knows that w/no, brakes, no transmission, no suspension, nothing but a frame and and engine...there's nothing left but, knowledge of your ride, talent, a great measure of good fortune, and more than a ton of BRASS BALLS...women certainly included. Brutal honesty. Ya' gotta love it.

This is the coolest motorcycle event I’ve ever seen, and I’ve been a fan of Motorcycle racing since the mid 80’s!

Wow, Haven't seen Billy Lane since the Discovery Channel Biker Build Off Competition years ago.... Back when Indian Larry was still around (R.I.P.) and other well known Chopper Builders. Glad to see him back in the World and Working/Building on Bikes that were The Earliest Days of Organized MC Racing. Board Track Racers were Daredevils of the Day and Sadly Many lost their Lives or had Career Ending Injuries. Many Famous Names of the Day, Gone but not forgotten. R.I.P. Jim Davis (1896 - 2000

this is so hot..I flat-tracked dirt oval (asbestos wrapped Wellington) at Michigan fairgrounds in the late 1960s..we had so much fun they banned it! rock on, Billy!

Billy Lane.....great to see him doing well and so many other familiar faces.

"they were old, they were loud, they leak & I liked it..." Pretty much sums it up for me too👍

In the late 80's I came across a 1928 101 Indian, complete minus an engine...I found an engine out in the sticks, being used to pump air into a compressor tank.

kudos to all...keeping the past alive................. great video

From an old motorcycle racer, this is so COOL!! I would love to try it.

If this was filmed in black and white no one would know the difference great doc great bikes great people loved it

I prefer that era to anything new. I love those old machines from pre WW1. That was a golden age of steam, petrol and diesel.

Myself I love old, original harley's. I also love motorised bicycles so for me a board track bike is the ultimate !!! I want one!!!

Wow, thank god we've got youtube and...ofcourse guys like there. Far from the rest of the world, I even didn't know there were such an inthusiasism on these relics. Building them, racing them, it is simply adorable and it is a branch of fine arts for me. Thanks for sharing this great dedication.

What a fucking amazing passion to share with friends, families, and fans. Wonderful!

These guys are the talent that America is known for ! Keep it up , you definitely have the old boys looking down on you and inspiring you to create these bikes from nothing but a engine on a bench !

The production and execution of this video was superb. Highly enjoyable. Great work.

Hats off to Billy Lane...a true motorcycle pioneer

No clutch, no brakes, one throttle, one kill switch and MASSIVE BALLS!

2014 was my first year at Sons Of Speed but it won't be my last. Fantastic.

You’re a good man billy and what you’ve done has redirected the motorcycle world!its amazing what one human can do.

This is the absolute coolest form of motorcycle racing ever created. They should require contestants to wear the same equipment as the original board track racers wore. History reborn.

This just makes my heart sing to see young people bringing these 100 year old racers back to life and riding them like they were intended to be ridden! Be careful guys and gals.. they can and will still throw you down when you least expect it, but at least you have MUCH better protection now than they did back when the board track was king!😁😅👍👍🏍🏍

Good to see Rick Petko in there. I always hated the shit he had to take on American Choppers.

Paul left too soon I’m ‘59 born so 59. Dang I’m gonna slide to 2019. Never thought I would make it this far. My crashes were tough tumbles. Great production. I been on Daytona tri oval and infield. Brainerd MN, Elkhart lake, many more. Bless y’all.

We have a similar movement in Switzerland and use old Sachs for that..

Thanks to give me an insight to something I did not know before! This was highly interesting and give me a lot of joy! Thank you very much for a tv like documentation! #1 motorbike story I saw so far!

Good to see Billy back and doing something so pure

To bring back the type of motorcycles, along with the type of racing that hasn't been done in100 years, with the human efforts, risks , and a smiling élan is a commendable thing.

Always love your work Billy...your saving history..carry on sir..🤙

love it! I hope the interest and support grows for this. There really is nothing like bringing this sport back. the sights and sounds, the smell of leaking gas, the people and friends you'll meet and make.. priceless!

Very cool I've always loved seeing the board track bikes run.

A nice tribute to a sport that was lost to the ages. And daughters too!

The real mystic and genius of humanity. He ranks right up there with the best of bike builder's, choppers and and all. A great high spirited soul. Keep building brother. US war veteran desert Storm ~

As a kid I always started at photos of boardtrackers and dreamed I would own one...someday is coming soon.

Great editing! Thank you...video went well with a cup of coffee and a smoke.

Sick!! Too cool to see the boardtrackers in action. Glad Billy got everything established and I hope this keeps going. I'd love to see it in person.

We started our own track out back with just mini bikes sliding and wreckin and having the best cheap fun ever .I can see us looking to build some bikes!

“They were old they were loud, they leaked and I liked it” hell yeah

So cool. It’s so badass seeing Billy and Rick not under the boot of the discovery channel, They are 100% there for the fun of it.

This was awesome.Good to see Billy still doing his thing and Rick was always going to land on his,feet both just really good dudes.Haven’t watched TV in 2-1/2 years So was good to see.✌️

amazing. i’ll be keeping my eyes out for a show. i’ll travel to see this.

THE BEST project Billy has ever laid hands on, please more footage, ongoing series, bike builds, rider profiles, please more more.

Nice! Thanks to share this with Us 🇮🇹🏍👍

Good on BL for showing us all something we didn't know we didn't know...

This video makes me smile. Love the board track racers.

I love love love love LOVE these bikes! The sound alone is great! Thanks for this video man! Hope you all enjoy!

Thank you......for your inspiration cause lets face it (thats why we all watched this from begining to end on you tube....thank you)

Thanks for bringing back history and bringing the sport back into this 2020 👌

This is way cooler than what's going on today taking it back to how it used to be done, so bikers can feel or see where it all started from.

Great to see this revival!!

Really great film guys - captured the spirit of the classic and the excitement that this style of racing brings! Was great to see Rick doing what he really wants to do to! Really well shot and edited - cant believe you haven't had more subs and views! Will spread the word in UK! Nice.

Love to see good simple racing fun hope it keeps going😁👍

i wish i could drive one of these. it looks so raw.

Awesome, Simple Awesome nothing more can be said

I'm happy to see you back doing your thing,..... and really really happy seeing those DIMPLES xo

Mr Lane and Co will go down in history for this.

I am so F'ing down for this! Just awesome dude's

Awesome video!!! Looking forward to the upcoming race!

Freaking beautiful! This video made me so happy!

I was born in South America, on my grandfathers farm there were not one but two early Harley motorcycles and they were in good shape , next to those was a 1932 Bugatti Coupe last I saw them was 48 years ago .. I wonder where they wound up ??

Keeping the memories of the heros alive

Beautiful bikes

THXS for the inspiration, to keep building up my twin JAP pioneer racer!

I'd love to do this... There's an old 1910s Harley for sale in my little town in South Central Pennsylvania and I love the look of it¡! It's basically a bike and I grew up on bikes so I'm way into this... 😊

Board tracking is so underrated as a motorsport need more of this

Those bikes are beautiful. Only makes me want a classic Harley Davidson that much more.

To the lady from Aberdeen, I'm from Jamestown. Enjoy your passion.

What a Great video, thanks.

I've been planning on going to this for years and acquiring a 20's bike soon. my grandmother was born in 1926 and I'm pretty sure plenty of people were still doing board track racing then so I think that goes confused when he said that hasn't happened in anyone's lifetime that's still alive.

DESDE ARGENTINA FELICITACIONES POR SUS GENIALES TRABAJOS EN SUS MOTOS SIGAN ASI SALUDOS

I love this type of racing, am wondering though if they could establish a class for newly made bikes running on lawnmower engines in beach cruiser frames, single speeds w/no brakes as like a junior league. It wouldnt be expensive to build & would get more people into it. Not that I'd get 2 race any of these legendary guys who I look up to,but being able to compete in league that raced bikes built to classic/antique specs has alot of appeal & I know I'm not the only guy who'd want to participate. Still makes me wish for my grandpa's WLA, as I love flatheads .

,,✨... THEY LOOK LIKE GOOD FUN.. SERIOUS FUN THOUGH... FIRST TIME I'VE HEARD ABOUT THIS KIND OF RACING..& THE GIRLS GET TO RACE THESE DAYS.. SPLENDID FILM.✨,,, ☮️🇺🇦☮️🇺🇦☮️🇺🇦☮️

Hope the racing takes off, Wanted to build a boardtrack racer, for some time, Now I have seen the video and racing, I am going full steam ahead to build myself one Looks a lot of fun

I'm so glad to see Billy making a great come back after everything he went through. His will to persevere is amazing and inspiring to say the least

That's awesome, big up to you guys for keeping the dream alive.

Billy Lane is a legend!
