Yeah, he's a bit crazy, but he's pretty cool and sets the tone for the custom chopper biker. __________________ Buell Motorcycle Parts and Forum www.BuellXB.com

I thinks he's like that for real. You can tell though, that some times he picks fights that make you wonder if he's just putting up a show. "Hey Paulie, check this out, ratings will go up tonite baby..."

LOL@Paperclip, yea i can see him saying that! He is quite the character, he reminds me of a really hairy teddy bear sometimes, then he gets that attitude that reminds me of....my father!! lol

I do see some of his issues though. Paulie can be one lazy SOB if you ask me, and a good backstabber too. 90% of the time I am on Sr's side

I think without Paul Jr alot of the stuff wouldn't get done because I don't see Paul Sr doing much..Paul Jr has most of the ideas too.

If you watch closely, many of the ideas come from vinnie, and everyone else as well. Jr. is a good designer, but he is lazy regardless.

I'd be a bit lazy if I made that kind of loot building custom motorcycles. How much does it cost for one of their choppers?

Yes Vinnie is good also ..they both actually do a lot. Paul Sr makes it seem like Paul Jr doesnt do much...I think it's all part of the show to keep people watching

Their choppers used to be around 30k, I am sure they are a heck of a lot more now.

They do a good job but that's pretty high priced in my opinion! Guess I won't be buying one anytime soon

Just wanted to know what anyone's favorite part of the show is...I have to say that I like when the bike is finally finished and they present it to whoever happens to be getting the bike on that show!!

Same here, It's sort of funny to watch them work, fight, etc. It sort of feels like I'm just burning time until the finished motorcycles come out. It's probably more interesting for people building their own custom motorcycles. __________________ Find everything you need and show off your custom motorcycles. Let the world know your style!

I think most people watch because they are interested in seeing the outcome of the finished project! It probably is interesting for people building bikes because they can watch and maybe get a few ideas even

I have to be honest that I actually watch to see them build it. I often watch the fabrication episode and skip the paint/unveiling episode. Their bikes (especially Sr's) don't quite do it for me as a whole package.

I guess everyone has their own personal tastes and enjoy different aspects of the show...guess that's why it's popular...it has a little of something for everyone

That's true, most people I talk to say they like it for a different reason. Hey, many people watch it just to see Mickey.

Hey all, Paperclip if i worked for my dad, it would be a different story! LOL he is harder on me than anyone else. And Jem i agree with you also that the end is the best part. I love to see the look on the person's face when they see the bike for the first time.

I tell you what, Many of those bikes look good, but when I see the stupid things they do sometimes, I think my bike would be going back once I see the show and the how of their fab/assembly

LOL i just love your take on things paperclip. I have to commend you. You are really down to earth! Kudos to you. Hey by the way, i want to post in the parts section.....i know this sounds stupid but i don't want to ask my dad for fear he will laugh so hard he will keel over. Which section for parts should i post in for a harly, custom chopper or custom cruiser? LOL No i am NOT blonde. Kidding

I guess it depends whether your harley will be a chopper or not! Harley's are cruisers, unless you go all out and turn it into a chopper.

To be politically correct, I would have to say that the dad has anger management issues and needs therapy. But the real me says "He's a jerk and that's ok"!

I think he can be, but most times he's just putting up a show. Did you ever see the show where they both cry together sitting on the couch?

No, I somehow must have missed that one. Why were they crying on the couch?

Dad was crying because he started a new business (the bikeshop) with his son and his son was unappreciative and all this BS. Jr. was crying because he didn't mean to be like that to his dad or whatever.

Oh...well that sounds like a set-up. I figure I'm much more sensitive than the guys are and I would have been MAD not weepy. Then again it could be a guy thing. They cry over the strangest things!
