@palomino13 let me tell you 1 thing i am 21 years and i own a motorcycle business, and people who can aford 1 harley are people with money like lawyers, business man cause real bikes are expensives soo if you see one custom bike more than a lifestyle is a fashion and expensive hobby for people who can aford it, or old guys that steel feel like if they had 21 and try to live like young mans riding expenisve bikes

i was there that day . a little later. i was still at the rally sprayin at my booth .we showed up later to party and to drive super drunk after. i really hated the weekend biker costume wearing fags that popped up that dealt with lawyers and lawsuits instead of with chingasos and knives. that died down when jesse james got a little tired.

I own one if Billys bikes. What a bitch when you need to fix the thing. It's all hand built.  It's fun to ride though.

I have my Road King all stripped down and tricked out but the bottom line to ME was, can I still ride it on the long haul across country? That is why I spared no expense on the seat and stayed away from the low profile tires that have a very rough ride.

combining the 2 is great if the final seating position is strictly adhered to during the build

I like Russell's bikes, I also like Eddie Trotta and Walz Hardcore bikes as well. I know these guys and NONE of them (including Billy Lane) put up with someone building/showing bikes that don't run! I had a close friend that tried to get into the industry and got caught doing that and they ran him off for it. Billy's bikes are sometimes rough looking but still cool in their own way, it's all about being different...

i am a big fan of custom bikes. to me exile choppers makes a good example of what a custom bike should be. i don't like the curse words that flows out of russel's mouth or i'd be a real fan of his. form and function is what a custom is about. art belongs on a wall, a motorcycle is meant to be ridden, down with posers. ride hard or stay at home. i know you'd agree with that.

I like some of Billy's rough-cut style that just emphasizes the creative uniqueness of his inovations and not just fat tires and slick paint jobs. It's not for you evidently and that's fine but move onto whatever does it for you bro and release the hate...
