But thats just me. Supposedly she's the nicest person in the world when you meet her as well. Seems to be pretty intelligent in most of the interviews I have read with her, although her onscreen delivery can seem kinda wooden and forced at times.

The show however, HAS become such a pimp for PM, J&P, and Kury, that its painful to watch anymore. I had to laugh out load as they were putting CHROME bag latches on the Street Glide. Thus negating on of the "features" that sets that bike apart from every other model of bagger.

I also liked "Build or Bust" but I think towards the end, they were almost actively TRYING to screw the builders up. I really liked the one where the guy built the rusted out looking bike (he was an ornamental ironworker I think) I believe that was the one where he technically did not make the deadline due to a weak battery, but Russell stepped in and said "screw that" because the guy had worked SO hard and SO diligently.

OCC? I think they have done some kewl looking bikes, but after the first season (when it was about building the bikes) it just got stupid. Someone needs to put THEIR size 12s right up SRs ***. But I have to admit, If I could make myself a multimillionaire many times over, I don't know how much I would care about credibility. I think JR does have some real design talent (if not fabrication). And sometimes being the smart person DOES mean surrounding yourself with people who posses talents you dont. But I would like to hope that if I was in their shoes, I would have enough integrity to SHARE the spotlight and the riches with those who contribute. (VINNY, Rick, etc) Then again, we don't KNOW what the arrangement there REALLY was. For all we know, Vinny and the others could be very well off for agreeing to play the fall guys. Stan Laural was ALWAYS the man behind Laural and Hardy, In COMPLETE control, from the git, Hardy just showed up and played his part, but that was never known until well after their careers had wound down. But the plan WORKED, and it made them both very successful.

Corbins ride on was just pimping Corbin too much.

The street bike show is kinda kewl (and different) but I REALLY dislike pulling that kind of **** on public roads, no matter how much talent it takes. So thats kind of a turn-off for me towards that show. That, and after the 100th time, stoppies just are not that kewl anymore. (not that I could ever do it, but still, only so many times you can see it before it looses its lustere)

V-twin TV was looking promising, but what happened?

I liked the biker build offs. Some amazing talent in those,(I met Matt Hotch at Strugis, VERY nice guy) but I think Billy Lane won FAR too many times based on his name, and not on the bike he built.
