View The New 20th Century Cycles Photo Gallery!

Billy inaugurated his motorcycle gallery “20th Century Cycles” on Saturday November 6th, in a town known as Oyster Bay in Long Island, with a simple but elegant bike loving bash celebrating the debut of his current motorcycle collection and exhibit space — now open to the public. Located in a former Ford dealership, then carpet store and then dance studio on Audrey Avenue, the vacant space was completely gutted, renovated, and transformed from a decaying storefront to a gleaming showroom with the characteristics of a clubhouse/art gallery. Stacks of cool bike mags from this shore and others await patrons in a comfy couch area within a few steps of the neon jukebox, Coke and cappuccino machines. You are greeted with walls appointed with vintage posters, gas station signs and rare relics, hanging over functioning workbenches, and tool drawers. Exposed rafters and original beams, and new skylights affixed to the roof, extend the sense of space. The “oil heads” and “rice burners,” “cruisers” and “café racers” are beautifully presented as if they were center stage at the glorious Fillmore East.
