He rode for KTM and tested/ raced a bit for Kawasaki after FC.

I think he stopped racing and does riding schools now.

Check out his twitter to see what he's up to - http://twitter.com/lano132

Ya I think they quit working together about 5-6 months ago? Somewhere around there, he was still working with pauk for awhile then pauk got hurt. Billy has a few regular kids right now.

Yeah, sure he is healed up by now. Just bad timing with the economy and if it was 5 years ago, he probably would easily have a ride. btw, this thread cracks me up. "What's Hannah doing next year?" "Um...i heard he's mostly doing testing for Suzuki, but he said he's in for Unadilla." "What? He hasn't been on a bike in 20 years" " Sorry, my bad, haven't really kept up" Tongue

I remember when laninovich first came on the scene it was the same year as bubba. Got hurt in supercross and came back that year at washougal to get a 4th OA I think? Had a really impressive ride the second moto though.

I Remember watching a video of him on a old amateur motocross website called "Motorider" or something and he was jumping waaayyy into this whoop section after a sky shot single. Shit blew my mind on vid.
Seems like the dude has tons of natural talent.

He tried racing for Aprilia in the GPs last year but it all fell apart pretty quickly. If I remember right he had a pretty bad crash on it.

Great first ride back by Billy! I have a feeling he will be the subject of the privateer profile on Racer X this week! Whistling
