I remember back in 2009 I wanted to apply for an apprenticeship with Billy. I was on his site all the time. One of the faq questions was about that. He had it listed that he didnt really take apprentices. Im disappointed now that I didn’t try anyway because he is a great teacher and seems to want to teach

Thank you Billy. I know you get this all the time, but I need to be grateful for you being the person who inspired me to enter the world of welding and fabrication. I was lost in my teenage years( didn't knew what to do with my life), now I own a shop, making an excellent way of living with it, helping my community and being a mentor to the youth.

So great to read. Jesse & I were talking about this recently, about how many have told us that we inspired them. It’s really a remarkable blessing, to be considered an inspiration. When we were doing TV shows 20 years ago, that wasn’t even on our radar. We were just trying to survive & succeed in a brutal industry. What a nice comment to read. Congratulations on your success, and bravo for paying it forward.

Its probably my last build as i have stage 4 cancer. Its taking everything i have to build this bike. Without your videos i dont think this build would be where it is from the stuff i e learned but also just being able to watch your videos on my bad days has really helped me more then i can say. So thank you from the bottom of my heart.

The Great Billy Lane never ceases to amaze me.

I love to watch skilled craftsman such as yourself. I wish you had a shop in my neck of the woods.

Billy, that was awesome to watch. I’ve been watching you do your thing since I was 12 back in the early 2000s watching biker build off and you still literally make me want to get up mid video and go out in my shop to work, as you’ve always done. Those are the videos the world needs, motivation feeds on curiosity and man, knowledge is its best friend. Keep being the artist you are, my friend. I can’t wait to see what happens with Outlaw Tv as well, I know many of us are excited for that. Congratulations brother.

Thanks billy! I’m with you on the feminine resemblance a well done bike , should possess. That’s a great fab table! I hope young folks are as inspired by you, an even Jesse as I was by Michael parks in then came Bronson . Can’t believe it’s been 20 years since introduced to the work you guys do. Im both thankful and impressed that you’ve both continued sharing your craft with the rest of us. As far as I’m concerned you guys are as cool as Bronson! Maybe even cooler! ✌️❤️

KUDO'S brother... flashBAAACK to 93'... boom... Ta DA! Appreciate the time you spent for THIS PINNACLE BUILD! Respectfully, Seth

Billy, you inspired me and I built 2 choppers since 2005 (nothing as good as yours). I have truly missed your videos. Thanks for posting new material.

Love how you explain everything in such a easy to understand way. Thanks for all your informational build videos.

I'm not into bikes as much these days, but Billy's teaching and fabrication videos inspire me as a Harmonica player, teacher and artist.

Thanks for another "looking over your shoulder" experience while you are fabricating, welding. That vessel is a piece of functional art, almost seems unfitting to call it a gas tank. And that Carl's speed shop typhoon carburetor, you need all the gas you can get eh? It is ridiculously perfect! 🤣

Thank you. The seat thing is subtle, but it makes a huge difference. The tank is a lot of work, but it may be made with no special metal shaping equipment. Because of the blower, I need extra fuel capacity.

Imagine how dope his ideas could be with a CNC machine with 100% accurate cuts. I understand the old school style but I'm willing to bet he'd be down for a business that builds all his classic tanks and framed. He used to farm a lot of it out anyways. I'm sure he could have a CNC in the mix. It's obvious that he's a business man first. A good connection to someone who can properly make videos and some kids wth CNC experience and he'd be back on top
