"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]

👍🏻

[@rickfazzini22]

Cool guy ! Keep those videos coming this series is killer

[@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! 🍻😎

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.

[@scowlsmcjowls2626]

The man has class. Cool bikes cool tunes and i look forward to watching those movies🎉

[@gunars1114]

[@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!

Great episode, loving the my garage series. Keep em comin

[@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.
