Discover, Build-Off Bike waiting paint.
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.
