What a blast. Proud to represent Team American Iron Magazine on my 1915 Harley racer. Thanks Billy!
Buzz Kanter Always admired Billy, hope to meet him one day. I love his enthusiasm for bikes and now the history of them too. Glad to see he made a successful run with this board track experiment turned realization.
It was Awesome to see Rick working on a bike . He and Vinny were the real stars on OCC
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.
Bringing back the old school is always cool.
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.
I’ve gone down hill at 50 miles an hour on a bicycle before and at that speed I thought I was going o die! That’s essentially what they were doing but with a 40 horsepower engine with no brakes and at 100 miles per hour. And don’t forget, they wore a leather hat for “protection”...
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 👍🤣
Old bikes old boats old cars old airplanes. So much fun. Great film!
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.
This is real racing. People racing, available to anyone from all walks of life. Awesome video.
Yeah but those bikes are gems that probably cost more than a brand new racing bike with tires for the whole season
I just built my first motorized bike and I am obsessed with board track racing this should definitely make a comeback
Bringing the love and joy of motorcycles back to where it started. Just amazing
I think this whole thing is fantastic, bringing back real V-twin board-racers!!! Awesome! :-)
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.
Scott Jones, Australia, long time rider, antique bike owner and mad fan of you guys. Owner of 1939 WWII 3HW Triumph and mad fanatic of the Harley Peashooters.
Great no nonsense film... been following Billy for some years from Denmark via UA-cam. A huge inspiration.
Keeping history alive! Good for this man! Thank you for doing this!
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.

That was fucking beautiful. The production, soundtrack and of course those gorgeous bikes with a story of one mans dream. Love it.
Phillip-thanks so much for the kind words! glad you enjoyed it
Philip Perry I love Your comment bro Thxx
@@jeffreymaher2314 I'm looking for a engine for a shaw board track racer
@@harrybobb6764 please reach out to Billy via facebook or instagram Choppers.inc on insta Billy Lane of Choppers inc on Facebook
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.
Good to see Rick Petko in there. I always hated the shit he had to take on American Choppers.
Bruce Kirk d'you see the dude from moonshiners? josh, he's pretty good at fabricating copper himself ,into great copper stills.
@@euro1859 Insanely fake show...
Paul Jr. would shit in his pants if he got anywhere near one of those things.
@@elbob248 Maybe but Paul Senior would actually kill himself trying to ride such a bike.
If this is the same Rick Petko I think it is, we used to work at the same Oldsmobile Dealership in NJ, (1987/88) glad to see he’s doing well.
Thanks for being you Billy Lane. So glad to see you're doing well and healthy.
You've been very inspirational to many people.
From an old motorcycle racer, this is so COOL!! I would love to try it.
I love love love love LOVE these bikes! The sound alone is great! Thanks for this video man! Hope you all enjoy!
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!
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!
This is the coolest motorcycle event I’ve ever seen, and I’ve been a fan of Motorcycle racing since the mid 80’s!
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.
Good to see Billy still into bikes. I love seeing people who restore or rebuild these old machines.
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.
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

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!
Always love your work Billy...your saving history..carry on sir..🤙
Billy Lane.....great to see him doing well and so many other familiar faces.
The production and execution of this video was superb. Highly enjoyable. Great work.
Very cool I've always loved seeing the board track bikes run.
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.
Thanks for bringing back history and bringing the sport back into this 2020 👌
You’re a good man billy and what you’ve done has redirected the motorcycle world!its amazing what one human can do.
Good to see Billy back and doing something so pure
Awesome video!!! Looking forward to the upcoming race!
Coolest thing I have seen all day!! Thanks!!
That's awesome, big up to you guys for keeping the dream alive.
Great job, Man!!! Its good to see you got your life straightened out and you got a new love in your life. (motorcycles that is!!)
"they were old, they were loud, they leak & I liked it..."
Pretty much sums it up for me too👍
Love to see good simple racing fun hope it keeps going😁👍
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.✌️
kudos to all...keeping the past alive................. great video
I'm happy to see you back doing your thing,..... and really really happy seeing those DIMPLES xo
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.
Hats off to Billy Lane...a true motorcycle pioneer
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!
This video makes me smile. Love the board track racers.
beard track poseurs
Great editing! Thank you...video went well with a cup of coffee and a smoke.
Fantastic!!!!What a great thing to see kept alive !!
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.
If this was filmed in black and white no one would know the difference great doc great bikes great people loved it
Thank you......for your inspiration cause lets face it (thats why we all watched this from begining to end on you tube....thank you)
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!!!
“They were old they were loud, they leaked and I liked it” hell yeah
THXS for the inspiration, to keep building up my twin JAP pioneer racer!
What a fucking amazing passion to share with friends, families, and fans. Wonderful!
I am so F'ing down for this! Just awesome dude's
A nice tribute to a sport that was lost to the ages. And daughters too!
Freaking beautiful! This video made me so happy!
This is amazing. what a passion
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.
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 !
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.
amazing. i’ll be keeping my eyes out for a show. i’ll travel to see this.
30 seconds in! First vid of yours I’ve watched and subbed!
This is going to be a big thing!
Proper bike racing!
Bringing back the magic!
This so cool!
It's all about the pose, and thinking that growing a beard gives you credibility. This blows big time
What a Great video, thanks.
Can’t wait to see when next years will take place I’m definitely making the trip from Chicago
Beautiful bikes
Good on BL for showing us all something we didn't know we didn't know...
Nice! Thanks to share this with Us 🇮🇹🏍👍
2014 was my first year at Sons Of Speed but it won't be my last. Fantastic.
i wish i could drive one of these. it looks so raw.
Keeping the memories of the heros alive
Okay, that is the coolest thing I have seen in a long time. Though, I have to say, that track seems way safer than any of the old wood tracks ever were back in the day. So cool!
As a kid I always started at photos of boardtrackers and dreamed I would own one...someday is coming soon.
I want some mfr. to mass produce air-cooled 4-valve exposed pushrod/valve gear and spring pushrod twins. I've already got an old bicycle in the garage.
Get yourself a moped engine and tune that bad boy up, larger cilinder, different exaust, better carb and powerfilter and you will turn that 45 kmh into 80
We have a similar movement in Switzerland and use old Sachs for that..
Surely you can refer to the elderly with greater enthusiasm. ;)
@Martin Kaufmann Video link?
Nice.
You show us a video?
Please
Martin Kaufmann Do you have any videos of your bikes or any of your groups races? If you guys created a channel I have no doubts that it’d generate more interest and get plenty of viewers
Brilliant! inspiring!
Board tracking is so underrated as a motorsport need more of this
No clutch, no brakes, one throttle, one kill switch and MASSIVE BALLS!
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.
THE BEST project Billy has ever laid hands on, please more footage, ongoing series, bike builds, rider profiles, please more more.
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.
It's all about the pose, and thinking that growing a beard gives you credibility. Blows big time
Good stuff Billy keep on keepin on! (Westwood Lakes).
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!
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.
Such a great idea and story! :)
Brilliant stuff
FROM 1 BILLY 2 ANOTHER BILLY...
WELL DONE THERE BROTHER 👍🏼 ....
BRINGING BACK THAT TYPE OF RACING
& KEEPING THAT (TYPE of SPIRIT) ALIVE.
Yo ! [ RICK PETKO ] ✌🏼..... and
"Moonshiners" [ JOSH OWENS ] ✌🏼 .....
( KNUCKLE👊🏽BUMP ) Billy Lane 🏁 🚲
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.
Thanks for the kind words Paul!
Black Irish Films what else are you working on guys? Do you have a site?
blackirishfilms.com
Please don't do that
Billy Lane is a legend!
Great to see this revival!!
Nice to see the old bikes coming back I would love to Beale to build an old boy like that an know u make it work an all that would be a amazing experience
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!😁😅👍👍🏍🏍
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
Hey did you start building yet? I'm curious
Mr Lane and Co will go down in history for this.
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... 😊
