Love this show...guys have true passion for antiques and are always very nice to the people. They often up the asking price for people to be fair....very high quality educational television.
Billy Lane was driving on a suspended license and killed a fellow biker and yet people think he is a hero? Makes no sense to me anybody else in a pickup truck that ran over a fellow motorcyclist people would want executed!
Old Man on a Suzuki Dirtbike not a hero but respect the guy for getting back on his feet. Prove he is more than just a screw up. Everybody makes mistakes. It’s easy to fall down into the loser lifestyle. But takes tenacity to fix yourself up.
In the first few seconds of the video, I instantly thought to myself " wow this is a side you never see of america pickers, Mike looks like a different person", then I looked at the date of the video. But that bike is amazing, it's crazy that there is no telling what people have hidden in their garage.
@@getchasome6230 That's what I'm saying. I was there, it was nothing like that. This guy was actually just walking around LeClaire, showing his joint to every old lady he saw, then tossed off into the Mississippi.
He is infinitely more watchable when he isn't talking about 'POPPING' for stuff. I stopped watching the tv show because of that. "I'll pop on that...I'll pop for that!" He sounded like a script from a 80s porno. Here he seems genuine and unscripted. Thanks for posting.
A lot of people say he is a ripp off? How? He offers money, it is up to the seller to say no on a low offer. He wants to make money. I see nothing wrong with that.
youd be suprised at how much of this is about, i visited a place recently called Cae Dai in Denbigh thats got a Sinclair C5 still boxed and gathering dust in one of the many corners there, amazing place but not as amazing as the owners themselves :)
I live 2 blocks away from Billy Lanes shop. And this is right before Billy was sent to prison for killing a man while he was drunk and driving. He actually went to pass a car on the highway and as he was going around the car in front of him he ran into a scooter that was driving in the opposite side of the street. The guy died instantly and Billy was sentenced to prison for 5 years or so.
as far as I am concerned this video was probably made when mike had no experience, cleaning and preparing this bike was essential before trying to assemble it
@Rotaswagga Get some sense. These older folk are either going to end up dying and never making a buck off any of their stuff laying around collecting dust and forgotten about or they're going to have someone like these two guys come along and at least make them an offer on some of their items.
People are so concerned with Hoarding these days. Hang on to your valuables--as long as you're not making some mini-storage owner rich? These fools are horrid pickers. Oh yea, women are notorious for throwing out valuable items and keeping junk. GodBless everyone!
Yep. I've lived in Melbourne for the past 20 years, and I met him in 2005 before he killed that dude. He was an absolute kock when I met him at his shop.
Completely wasted bike, You had who is probably the greatest bike builder in the world right in front of you , and didn't have enough sense to have him restore this bike, You , are no friend of Billy Lane , I know Billy , and these early Harley's are a specialty if his hell, he races them now ( Sons Of Speed ).. leaving that bike as a rotting pile of rust isn't what I'd call ( restoring ) you're a joke .
sorry but didnt that lady have family or know someone who could get her an honest value of the bike 'OR' did she loose out on thousands just to get on TV, 'OR' is the show just fake, I think all the above
@SeriousIndividuals So what, because they know these folks are broke as, and would take anything...at least pay them maybe 100 bucks shy of what it's worth. Why do they have to make $200plus profit. Get a glue? The economy they way it is there, they are desperate. You probably would rip off your Grandparents to get ahead.

I found a 1902 Holley Motorcycle next to a old barn in Vermont
There's too much awesome associated with that Indian for just one vid....
Billy must have been pissed that bike is the style he does now

This video about a classic as the bike

I'm kinda surprised they didn't stay with "Picking America".
Billy lane Enters the vid at 3:10 approximately. FYI, skip the other part, Mike babbling about making money on grandma's barn find lol 😆
Franks a tight ass mike is just way over the top
Good
How much did he pay for it?
as far as I am concerned this video was probably made when mike had no experience, cleaning and preparing this bike was essential before trying to assemble it
That guy looks familiar. I think he lives in The Bronx

A freind of mine has a 1918 indian sitting in his living room.....and he'll fire it in 2018...when it's 100 years old..NO it's not for sale
ted850760 It's 2018. Let's see that bike!!!
highly doubt it he called me once about some old bicycles I had but prob less than 2k
heh, beats me, I' know it's an extremely rare bike in good condition and he's paid more than 30k before
What's the significance of Billy Lane being in the episode???!?!
Rick Manzuk der he bought the bike
And the reason you didn’t rent a truck or a van is…?
@crazyeyesproductions no dude she dosnt know the real price, he got it for prob 2000

@dano415 lol so true
lol too bad he went out of business i drive by there every day to go to work billy lane that is
OTAlucard he didn’t go out of buisness he moved to Daytona he’s got a shop there
Sure are a lot of haters on here !
Rusty old bike----picked $500, value $400 cost to get it $1000 good deal
500! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. You are so stupid that it should seriously be celebrated.
I hope that’s sarcasm that’s a peice of American history right there
Mike, YOU are Great, Get rid of CAT BOY Fritz..!
@pedro702lv probably a grand. And he'll flip for $30k
He most likely gave $15000.00 for the bike and the seller was happy
There it gos out of usa !
Billy lane lost all his hair after being in prison. Wonder if he still drinks? I doubt it.
Takes money to make mone..
Billy Lane ego went to his head. Killed a person driving drunk in Brevard county
lmao
