I think I just threw up a little in my mouth...

Sr. needs to take the keys away from Jr.; Jr.'s bikes are just frickin' comical fodder now. Sr. knows how to build a bike.

It was like an accident on the side of the road. So bad I couldn't look away.

I mostly watch the show for the fabrication. There was a lot of it for this bike, seems like a waste of someone's (Rick) time and talent. What it needs now is a plasma cutter to make it right.

At least the Ness bike has some lines to it.

I thought the Dodge Truck bike they did was pretty hideous also.

I can't believe people still watch that show. I didn't even know it was still on. That show became quite lame like, 3 years ago.
