I have watched this show a few times. True they crank out a nice looking bike from time to time. But you don't really get a good look at them. It's mostly a formulaic show. A new project with an unrealistic deadline. A bunch of drama and hissy fits about silly b.s. and a miraculous finished product. The show just isn't nuts & bolts enough for me.
A few years back you cold go to West coast Choppers and watch Jesse make a fuel tank out of a sheet of steel or aluminum. Now he complains that he has to hide out in an undisclosed location to get anything done, a' la'Cheney.
I'll keep checking in on it from time to time , If only to see the episode when somebody punches Paully's lights out.
Just my opinion ,wrong heade though it may be. RDT
