Kudo's to Rick for his fabrication work but it's an awful looking bike.

It seems all they are doing is building this stuff to prolong their TV careers. They just don't know it's over.

Heres some other shots of Ness bikes. If you guys get a chance to see his new shop go there. This guy didn't build one, two one-off's....Hundreds!!
Its really worth the trip and you can go up stairs to "his" museum where hes got a few to look at.

Default 3 More Ness Pics

Readers sorry if I put too many. I go way back with Ness in that his old shop was next door to my uncles restaurant in the 60's. Again sorry if this was too many....I think he was an innovator in both design and paint!!

Talking

Rag on the bikes. Rag on the cast. The bikes look like sheet, their time is over. Time to call it a day and on and on. BUT, we all still watch the show sometimes don't we?

I am by no means a fan of their creations or the show. By the time they catch on that the chopper craze is over, they'll change the name to OCB for Orange County Baggers... Now, what will the new logo look like?????

At least the Ness bike has some lines to it.
I started watching the reality shows when Jesse James was building. It was really something to watch a guy take a flat piece of steel and build a gas tank.
Thats the real deal.
