"Don't make a fool of me baby" While kick starting his chopper This guy is on my list of coolest people on earth

[@Billy-703]

👍🏻

[@alessandrov-twin9755]

Ain't this guy so cool and inspirational? I mean it! he really is! He is not like that bunch of guys who started early in this biker culture, he is the livin' personification of "It ain't never too late to do what you were born to do or what you love to do"; he talks 'bout authenticity and indeed He is authentic! Love your style Wil! cheers! 🍻😎

[@rickfazzini22]

Cool guy ! Keep those videos coming this series is killer

[@ryandasilva604]

Met Will at TriCo in LA in 2013, I didn't know shit about choppers back then, I was a cafe racer kinda guy. Parked outside was a bike that said "this machine kills fascists" been hooked ever since. Will was very cool, big personality and a great energy to be around - felt like I'd known him for years. Awesome video, hope you're doing well player.

[@Billy-703]

“Dude was moving like that at the time & got it right” that sentence is spot on! Prism you guys continue the amaze! Wil Thomas: Very Nice to meet you. It’s a pleasure getting to meet so many wonderfully unique people in the chopper world 👍🏻 Wil’s an inspiration & an idol people can look up to! THANK YOU! For your service and what you bring to the two wheel community!

[@greyriddance64]

I really like his respectful attitude to bikes. Also, beautiful place!

[@gunars1114]

so epic... so simple... so authentic! ❤❤❤ Rock'n'roll!

[@mikef3300]

My first street legal bike was a Kawasaki eliminator 1000. I was 19 and that bike was amazing. My first Harley was a 1995 fxstsb springer softail and it’s about to be 30 years old. At this point I’ve had it for more of my life than not. It still runs great and the original paint shines up pretty good. When friends were buying new bikes I just couldn’t bring myself to do that so I chose to mod the bike instead. Best thing I’ve done was swap the 5 speed for a 6 speed transmission. Much easier on the 80 inch evo on the highway. It’s been a very reliable and easy to maintain bike for me. It’s not very fast and doesn’t stop on a dime but I still get a grin every time I throw a leg over it. It’s more than a bike to me. It’s part of the family

[@Billy-703]

My first HD was a black, grey, red FXSTSB Bod Boy/ well it’s official your RAD!

[@Billy-703]

🤣

[@kerrymcclure7503]

Enjoy your comment very much. Coming from a gold wing. I bought my first Harley at the age of 60 years old. It is a 2006 ultra it had 8192 Miles On it. I told my wife this was my last bike. I'm now 74 years old. The bike has 129000 miles on it. We're both still going.

[@ΑναστάσιοςΠαπαζαχαρίου]

[@jamesalexander7659]

Semper Fi Bro

[@robertjones7792]

Cool guy with some badass bikes, Only advise you can give anybody especially young people trying to build a bike is get them cheap and stack them deep. I think the market will hit rock bottom soon so everybody can buy a old bike, there is a very small percentage of people that do this to begin with and they are getting older and older and are selling out, So be patient and you should finally get what you want.

[@MarcS4R]

incredible

[@Drive_Camp_Ride]

Sweet video.....cool dude.

[@GlaucoAlves]

Great video!

[@Stovtheproducer]

If that garage could talk... that makes me want to rode to IL.

[@vincentyap3188]

i wish i could have many as this old school bikes like this dude, i used to re design and turn them into the old school look, of course i don't design all the bike same look, each of my design is different

[@abhijitkundu1879]

Bro Bell, Shoei,Agv , Arai, KYT, LS2, MT were floats in the market because they got and they have weightage and value 🌹❤️

[@fishypictures]

I dig this artists attitude. I like his choice of work truck,… low deck Elmo.. I still call these conquistadors ( Chevy name) … I know many guys who use these trucks to haul equipment. I like old stuff too.

[@johnjyoungjr7400]

Semper Fi Wil

[@joemann3536]

[@ridervfr2798]

Damn. I had a 600 Eliminator in NJ, 40,000 miles of non bliss.

[@irishguyjg_2ndchancerecovery]

Where's the passion with the person running the interview?

[@kctelford2115]

For real. Dude didn’t match Wil’s energy at all

[@MegaChoo2]

Dudes he is just chill. He’s being himself and letting Will be Will. He was certainly reverent and appreciative.

[@frank-tk6dr]

[@abhijitkundu1879]

Bro we are not fake we don’t believe in cheat people specially those who are weak and innocent but prefer rather to get cheat by the world thats why we believe in hot road and choppers and Classic and Interceptor kinda motorcycle specially motorcycles which engines are always stay and avoid optimum temperature 🌹❤️🇺🇸🇮🇳👊🖤

[@chrisbrady-t1u]

guy must be rich.Didnt say how he made a living.maybe he was a door to door vacuum salesman.

[@abhijitkundu1879]

Bro we believe in body arching and sculpting we believe in architectural things or objects rather to be a hot subjective or elements for anyone we don’t believe in dancing doll and give the strings to sumone’s other hand we prefer and believe in jockey and prefer to keep our hunters on our own grip so that it sumhow it shouldn’t get slip and falls or pills like unnecessary irrelevant any evidence which doesn’t get any pavement and gets any connection with anything 🌹❤️

[@abhijitkundu1879]

Bro after 40 or 42 I will start riding bro whether I prefer to ride in a troops or prefer to be on highway with my pen and a notebook just like a careless whisper bro 👊 your country favours all the pro with the almighty palmistry astrologer Zochen Zeitz our country we scorch with Siddhartha Lal bro 🌹❤️
