      @@BillyLaneChoppers You’re welcome.
      That’s wild. They need to subscribe. Perhaps a gentle reminder at the end of the videos won’t hurt, whether it’s verbal or just pointing at a “Subcribe” sign at the end. It’s not begging, it’s reminding.
      And thanks for the ugly shovel series. It motivated me to go out and buy another shovel, a fixer upper project that was in a shed for nearly 25 years. It’s an 84 fx (chain final drive) and I should be riding it soon. It’s already painted in flames though, so I won’t have to set the tins on fire ;)
      And thanks again for the great content.

    Hey Billy, Not sure if you remember me from 20 odd years ago when you lived in Florida and had your shop matt black pick-up truck. Way back when ... The days before you even built the first "Hubless Wheel" bike and my favorite "Devil in a red dress" bike. I guess you could call it, "The days before you became famous" :) Just wanted to say, You have inspired me for years now with you attention to detail and innovative ideas. Some years back I even attempted to (not as great as yours) build my own devil in a red dress bike and I rode it proudly for some years after that. Sadly when the pandemic hit the world, I had to let her go but I'm still glad I got to build something that was inspired by you. Keep doing what you doing!!! Love your work and will always be a loyal fan. Take care of yourself and your beautiful family my friend. Regards to Erin and the kids. Steve from Sunny South Africa.
