Default Saw a Billy Lane bike

Saw Billy Lane's King of New York bike. Sweet mother of pearl, no wonder the guys famous.
I don't think I have ever seen another bike like that. The tank was beautiful and I have yet to figure out the rear wheel- no axle. Unfriggin believable.

Yea, it's really a shame that someone with that kind of talent has to step off the curb, and do something really stupid. Something that alters the entire destiny of his life. These are decisions that can never be reversed. We are free to make our choices, but the consequences are NOT our choice. I feel sorry for him, and even more so for the family that lost someone because of his choice to drive while intoxicated. We've probably all done something as stupid, just didn't end up with the same consequence. There but for the grace of God go I.... Does he deserve to be punished? Of course he does, but think about how many times in your life you've done something stupid and got away with it, without these kind of life altering consequences. He's probably tortured and punished every day just living with what he's done. I sure wouldn't want that hanging over my head.

Billy Lane is a drunk that took his truck and Murdered someone because he has no sense and thinks hes above the law..As far as bikes go , on biker build off, his wouldnt start. IMO you can keep him with his stupid dreadlocks and is bikes. Cant trust anybody that doesnt wash his hair.. Hes a loser with a capitol L

jealous much?

like the other poster said, most of us could be in the same situation he's in right now. we just got lucky. celebrity doesn't wow me, so i don't think of him as a 'god' or anything like that. i think he's no different than most of the rock stars, or sports stars. too much, too fast, couldn't handle it.

Yeah I sure remember that and it turned me off with his products. Every time they were behind schedule, in a panic and they NEVER would start.

As for the hubless wheel that is really cool but not his design.
