So it has been said by many in the know, but it seems that it's gone past scripting now.

worst part about that show was ....what the hell did they ever "build"? they bolted together a bunch of ordered parts and welded on a wrench or something stupid. their bikes were nothing more then kit bikes with deco hanging off of them.

They fab'd a lot of their own stuff. Fenders, gas tanks, bars...sometimes wheels. I think they even did a frame or two.

That wasn't you. I didn't see any arms flailing as you went out of control and into the weeds.

I think the guy rick had some talent as far as a metal worker, he was always making tanks and other parts from sheet metal.

Only after they built the new, huge fab shop. Before that, everything was ordered in and bolted on. Then Jr would TIG weld some bits on, get her painted, and call it a custom chopper.

A local shop sells their bikes. I think the same three have been sitting there for a year.

They're nice bikes, but not for the price they're asking.
