It was probably my favorite. Seems most of the shows are gone.
American Thunder was sort-of interesting but the infomercial theme got old.
Corbin's Ride-on... well, I watched it but thats bout all i can say
Biker buildoff was pretty entertaining especially when they had to ride the things they built Didn't Billy Lane catch his *** on fire?

Heck I miss monster house and to an extent, monster garage.

It's all 45 versions of cops these days...

I agree, great show. Couldn't help feeling bad whenthe builderslost though. I like American Thunder. But it could just be Michelle Smith I'm enjoying.I have to admit too, there's a new show featuring ricers (Speed Chanel), that's pretty entertaining.

I miss the show, too. It was much better than American Chopper, which I no longer watch.

Build or Bust was OK, especially since they spiced it up by bringing in the guest pro builders. Biker Build Off was by far my favorite two-wheeled show though. Hope they bring that one back. Some of the later episodes were getting a little lame when they started building "theme" bikes. They need to stick with the road worthycustoms with no rules, (yeah, some were more roadworthy than others.) The Indian Larry episodes are classics.

That was my favorite show too. I only caught a few episodes, maybe that is all they had.

Russel is a real down-to-earth kinda guy. He used to have a *Fan Forum* link on his site. He would post there daily, and have a lot of pictures of projects he was working on.

Spammers got too heavy, and not worth the hassle so he killed the forum.
