If you have been hiding in a hole lately, like Osama yo' Mama or
some other fuck, you might not know who Billy Lane, the creator of
Choppers Inc. is? But after reading this, even Sado and his multi
billion whatever camel bangin' ass will know who Billy Lane is.

If you've heard about the Space Coast of Florida. You know where
NASA launches all those rockets? There's a small, quiet town called
Melbourne, home of none other than Choppers Inc. Yes the same chopper
shop that is commanded by the one and only Billy Lane, master of the
unthinkable. He uses everything from helicopter bearings to bottle
openers as components for his two wheeled creations. He's been
featured in Bikernet previously, but this time we are going inside
his shop. This is his little world, where the Choppers Inc. crew come
up with all his whacked and cool choppers. It's a steel and chrome
haven where TV cameras, cool cars and the usual mayhem take place.
It's a place where friends are always welcome, Jack is always
available and the beer is always cold. This is the fun trip into the
Choppers, Inc. zone... Enjoy.

So let's go back in time, to a place that time has forgotten, or
maybe not, Miami. That's were I met him for the first time thru a
mutual friend who had a shop in South Beach. We said a couple hi's
and hung out some, not much more than that. I had bikes, but I was
doing something else at the time. Everyone walks their own path. Some
years later I met Billy once more. He was starting a shop in
Melbourne and perhaps a new life, Choppers Inc. It was sorta re-born.
Some people say that he was supposed to work for NASA, but decided to
step onto the notorious Chopper path. I, for one, think he made the
correct choice. So let's fast forward a bit.
