Billy Lane's How to Build Old School Choppers, Bobbers and Customs
by Billy Lane
Softcover. 175 pages.

Billy Lane is the fastest-rising star among the high-profile custom chopper builders, and in this book he offers many of his secrets for building a chopper that will stand out in a crowd. This is the ultimate resource for any chopper builder — a book designed as a step-by-step guide to building any type of custom motorcycle.

This book also covers custom-building beyond the chopper genre, including the building of “bobbers,” an old-school style of custom that has been revived as a hot trend. Predating choppers, they are on the cutting edge of current biker “cool,” for real riding, and are much safer and more functional than choppers.

• Billy Lane has been featured several times on the Discovery Channel’s top rated series Biker Build-Off and the Monster Garage premiere episode. Plus, he was Easyriders Builder of the Year, and winner of numerous national Best in Show awards.
• This book shows Billy's inside secrets of constructing a complete motorcycle, from hand fabricating metalwork to adding the detail parts that will make your bike your own creation and stand out from the crowd.
• Hundreds of color photographs will lead the builder through the construction process.

Billy Lane: Chop Fiction
by Billy Lane; photography by Michael Lichter
Hardcover in dust jacket. 160 pages.

Billy Lane, owner of Choppers Inc., lives, eats, and breathes choppers. Since securing a secret cache of Easyriders magazines as a young boy, Billy has equated choppers with freedom. By the time he earned an engineering degree from Florida State University in Tallahassee, he had already established himself as a promising young chopper builder. An appearance on the very first episode of Discovery Channel's Monster Garage led to a starring role in Biker Build-Off and growing fame as a chopper builder with both artistic vision and technological innovation.

In this autobiography, Billy shares his life story, from running with gangsters in Miami as a younger man to becoming a celebrity chopper builder who is mobbed by fans everywhere he goes. Inside stories on his most famed bikes are included, as well as Billy's thoughts on those who inspired and helped him on the road to becoming a famed chopper artist and television star. The book is full-color, giving ample room for the reader to view Billy's incredible creations, featured in stunning photography by Michael Lichter. Billys bikes are works of art on multiple levels, combining the fine art of sculpture with the pop art of incorporating found objects into the work. But they are also technological tours de force, featuring engineering that is nothing short of astounding.

But theres more to life than just choppers, according to Billy. There are women, too.

Theres no doubt about it -- the sexy lines of an old school chopper, its curvy hips, narrow waist, and voluptuous torso, are the same lines found on a beautiful woman. In addition to stories of his great bikes, the self-professed "Ladies Man" of chopper builders shares behind-the-scenes stories and photos of his other true love, whether they were long-time girlfriends, strippers, other colorful characters in his life, or the fans who demand his autograph on their body parts at biker shows throughout the U.S.

Billy Lane: Chop Fiction is the ultimate insiders look at the lifestyle and artistry behind one of the most famous chopper builders in the world.
