They all got too comfortable with all the show money and it went to their heads, now their back peddling trying to make something work. I hope Vinny didn't leave his shop to go back to these dorks. Same ol S***.

Jr. blew it!! Seems to me he had it made at OCC but his boss expected him to be at work ON TIME, come back from lunch ON TIME & stay busy while at work! I can't believe some bosses are so damn demanding!!

While the bikes are true works of museum quality art...
, I cant handle all the fake grudges, fights and disputes, temper tantrums over nothing, throwing chairs and red faced shouting of threats and obscenities. I'd much rather watch something REAL...like WWF
Seriously, is this crap still on?

correct 07FLHT, everyone thinks Sr is wrong and in reality he is/was right, he didn't ask much fom Jr but be on time and Jr is now worth a ton of money because of him yet he's the bad guy, if my dad did for me what he did for them he could yell at me all he wanted to

Sr. really needs angrier management. That some shyster **** trying to take Jr. shares for nothing (how much are those CNC machines and his building worth), what kind of back door crap is that, really! I watch it because I think its funny. Im sorry but the crap about Sr. trying to teach his kids something about whatever (money, responsibility, etc), thats coming from an awful father figure with the crap he is pulling. Why is he so hung up on the 20% any way? Is it because he has to pay Jr. his fair share and hates the idea.
oh, you're crazy.
These guys have mad talent. They have to work with the shipping guys and get the tank out to whatever shop is fabricating it for them. They have to bolt stuff on the frame when it comes in from wherever they bought it. They have to get everything over to the painter and get it bake in time to bolt together.
you make it sound like scheduling is easy.

The show was just more of the same, although we shouldn't be surprised, after all , it's the same cast of characters.
Sr is a jerk, Jr is a tool. Ok, so what? Isn't that why the show had become popular in the first place? The bikes always were secondary to the "plot", which is jr and sr fighting, so there's no reason to think that's going to change.
The bike they built was laughable. It was probably the crappiest bike they've ever built. I loved the idea of the split gas/oil tank, but the execution was horrible. They've built yet another unrideable bike. (Remember the Russell Crowe bike that you couldn't see over the tank to ride?) On both of those bikes, the funniest thing was seeing sr trying to ride them. On the Russell Crowe bike, he was riding down the road looking up at the sky, trying to see the road in front of him, and on the bike they built last night, I almost bust a gut laughing at the shots of him all stretched out over the gas tank. Funny, funny stuff! And he's saying how jr can't build a bike like they can... well, I hope not!

Don't watch it, really never did. Bikes are expensive (wow) and mostly impossible to ride much further than a block from appearances. Sounds like a family that got rich during the chopper craze. I will take my over a decade old evo powered Harley over that crap any day.

I am embarrassed to admit, I watched it. Very disappointing till I saw Jr's "assistant". She is HOT! I thought I was going to see a bike build off. We saw one bike built, if you want to call it that. Has got to be one of the most uncomfortable riding POS ever. It was almost as ugly as that damn Reindeer bike a few years ago.
