No longer on Discovery, moved the show to the TLC channel on cable at 9pm EST. Don't know any info, but I suspect a ploy to spin off a new show. Maybe Discovery got tired of the infighting and contract. Sr will probably make prod'n bikes and Jr. will prolly continue making customs. Makes for good "drama", hah. Aside, buddy of mine said that he was on a trip out east and went to an auction where a lot of the OCC bikes were up on the block. Many of the customs were showing metal fatigue on the steering head welds, paint flaking off the joints and metal showing signs of weld failure. Guess someone actually tried to ride those hardtails for more than a block......  |

To be honest, I thought the show had gone the way of Jesse James show and was buried a few years back. I was surprised to find that it was still on a few weeks back. SOS, but now they show sidetrips that the group goes on interdispersed with working on a bike. Wow, that and Jr's philosophical ramblings make it still a big bore.
The epitome of driveway jewelry.

Garbage In, Garbage out, to phrase a computer term.
They made a lot of money though, I guess that's supposed to mean something.

Can't help it.....love a good train wreck. And now that Jr's starting his own shop, he's got Vinney on board with him too....and I'm a fan of Vinney.
Besides, it's really chappin' Sr's a$$ that Jr's starting his own shop....that it's killing him.
I'm pulling for Jr, Vinney and Mikey.
After all of the last couple of season's drama, it's starting to ramp up and get good.

I got tired of their crap after a half-dozen viewings back in the beginning. Don't need to watch or listen to some belligerent butt-head spouting off about nonsense. Or, a philosophical approach to justifying his design lines. I'm not qualified to be a bike critic, but I saw one of their bikes (Army or National Guard)...; way-far more talent than I have, but I still didn't see what all the hoopla is about. That nonsense aside... the entertainment for me was Mikey. Eleven years later... the fat lady with all the right parts in all the right places is the one for me. Yrmv, ???

The hoopla was about the train wreck.....it never really was about the bikes. Sr is a grad A a$$. It's fun to watch the meltdowns.

After seeing how the meltdown happened and how both parties have handled it, I tend to agree that Sr. is a class act A$$. Looks like he's going outta his way to try to ruin Jr.
Pretty sorry family situation, don't need to watch any more of it. The bikes aren't that good to put up with the dysfunctional crap going on.

I like watching all the melt downs and yea Paul sr is a a$$ (hope he goes down) The part I can't understand is how anyone will pay $250,000 plus for a bike you can't ride.
I saw some of there choppers at a show about 5 years back and if you look pass the bling you can see the poor workmanship.
They build a bike for the Manitowoc Co (big red cranes) and it just sits in a store window and once a year they take to our little car show not there best work.
