I've been watching a few episodes today.

As long as Pauly and Pauly Jr. can avoid feuding it ought to be OK

I really enjoyed the show the first couple of seasons until the drama of their fighting ruined it.

Hopefully they learned their lesson and they don't go down that road again....

I liked the show because of the technical aspects of bike building and my interest in motorcycles. Heck, its what prompted me to build my own custom chopper from scratch, pictured below. Figured if these guys could do it, I could. Met, and had lunch with Paul sr years ago at Laconia Bike Week.

All the extra drama did increase its appeal for some, I am sure. Unless it really goes off the rails, I will watch it again.

I never liked most of the bikes they built, too much bling and stuff all over them. Now the one Fishinfool shows above is nice, I like that.
 
Some of the bikes are a bit too gimmicky for my taste, but it is the fabrication, build process, and problem solving is the stuff I watch for.

So far it seems like Sr. has mellowed and Jr. has matured, so they at least have a chance at getting along.

When the drama cranks up again, I'll quit watching again.

Best motorcycle show is the one filmed at the museum Wheels through time. Love those old bikes.
