I was in the local Goodies clothes store yesterday. Looking through the T-Shirt section they had some Billy Lane shirts. I was somewhat surpised to see them in there.

Why's that, Mark???
I hear most people who get caught driving drunk and killing somebody tend to "lose their shirts" once the court proceedings begin!!!
(and evidently their shirts often end up at the bargin bin of your local Goodies clothing store too)

Move or close? Can't say. rang 321.757-7262 and a recording says that the retail store is now open 24/7 on-line at ... The Melbourne shop will only be open during Peak Motorcycle and Race Events.
His website says this about the retail store: "RETAIL STORE CHANGES IN MELBOURNE Retail Store Open 24/7 in 2007 By creating the most creative and visited website, Billy Lane's Choppers INC is THE online innovator in the motorcycle industry. As the internet and motorcycle industry changes, Billy once again is setting trends. Starting 1/2/07 Billy Lane's Choppers INC retail store will be open 24/7 ONLINE. The retail location in Melbourne will only be open during these special events: Biketoberfest (Oct 15-20, 10am-6pm each day)."

Can't see many trailer queens making it from Daytona to Melbourne that week!! Does that mean he is too cheap to have premises at Bike week? (or maybe he needs to save money for his attorney?)

Most penitentiaries have workshops, don't they? Maybe I watch too many movies. But they have internet connections, right? Billy can do business from any of our fine, fine detention facilities...

Shaun,
I believe both his answering machine and his website is dated. After all how is he going to have anything at a Melbourne location that is closed? I for one wouldn't want to place an order for any of his products as who knows when they will be delivered? Maybe I'll ride by his shop tomorrow and see if things are boarded up down under in Melbourne...

Yeah Moe! Erin here sure is a looker, ain't she?!
But it sure seems a shame that for how hot she looks, she wasn't SMART enough to tell the Idiot Boy Lane somethin' along the lines of..."No thanks Billy, I THINK I'll WALK home instead of having YOUR dumb drunk a$$ drive me home tonight, that is unless you want to give ME the friggin' KEYS so I CAN DRIVE!!!"
And THEN, ya know WHAT Moe, the stupid(but yeah, hot lookin') broad here wouldn't have found herself in the position of having to SUE Idiot Boy and the friggin' Chrysler Corporation, HUH?!
(and ah...maybe, just MAYBE, there would have been ONE LESS motorcycle fatality that one fateful night TOO!!!)

At least she wasn't going to say she was driving. The State has a witness now. Oh yeah the Jury Trial is calendared for February 9, 2009 at the Moore Justice Center in Viera, FL before the honorable Robert T Burger.
I hope you don't think that Dolores J Morelock shouldn't be suing Daimler Chrysler Corporation either? After all Mr Lane's license had been taken away from him in NC and Daimler Chrysler tossed Mr. Lane the keys anyways.

Good point, Dave! Yep, the beautiful Ms.Erin here does sound "a little" like the classic Gold Digger here, doesn't she?!  (and I ain't talkin' the lovely ladies who used to surround Dean Martin on his old TV show EITHER here, ya know)

Well boys you know my story all too well. 2 dwi's. The first happened 4/22/06, and the second was 6/13/08. I know in MO if you don't have a valid driver's licenseor at least a state issued hardship (aka driving privilege), you cannot buy a vehicle. You can keep the one you currently have or sell it, but you cannot buy a new to you one.
As for me, I've quit drinking, and I've never looked back. Best thing I could have ever done.

Chrysler has lots of money. Lucky for McDonalds she was not drinking coffee at the time of the accident.

Wait a minute here, dude! "Chrysler has lots of money"??? 
Evidently YOU ain't been readin' the friggin' newspapers lately, dude!
(I mean when FIAT says that they're interested in purchasing your "assets", you probably ain't got a lot o' money, ya know!!!)

Morelock's family, Lane and DaimlerChrysler, which provided Lane with the truck he was driving for promotional purposes, reached an undisclosed out-of-court settlement on a wrongful death suit in July (2007).
Of course the settlement could be the reason they needed a bailout.

Good for you. I did too, 22 almost 23 years ago and at this point I don't miss it a bit. In all that time I had one beer I drank in honor of a friend of mine and had no problem making that my only one. I really don't miss it except I love the taste of dark beer but not enough to go back to drinking.

hope you like single malts.  i don't care how much time the sod gets, as long as he never drinks and drives again. seems to me that has to come from a desire on his part. no amount of incarceration will change that. two or three years will only add to his chopper mystic.
