Big Whoop.

Most of the folks I know stopped watching this weekly waste of time a couple of seasons ago when they spent more time dealing with petty family matters than they did building "Cookie Cutter" $150,000 "motorcycles".

Bring back Jessie James,... or give Billy Lane of Choppers Inc a show.
Too bad Indian Larry is no longer with us.

Finally. I thought that show would never die.

They had more drama than TNT and TBS combined.

Really lame show.

It was getting pathetic. It went from motorcycles to one of the disowned sons putting his name on a cheap-o grill. Im not sad.

If Paul Sr. spent as much time working with his boys as he did yelling at them, Mikey might not have ended up in rehab and Jr. might still be with Sr.'s shop. Got a little old listening to Sr. rant and rave. The bikes were a bit tired. Did like to watch the other fellows create things.

BTW, what ever happened to Vinnie?

I used to love that show until it got too big for itself. They had to keep the drama going in all different directions to keep people watching. Got to where they stopped building motorcycles and put on a sit-com style show. They also went from building a bike in 2-3 episodes to just one.

I am not sad to see it go off the air.

I figured they would finally have a make up episode and bring it all back bigger and better. They've built a dynasty off of this show with their products. I also thought Jr would start his own shop. And what's up with Sr? he's lost alot of weight. Looks like he has chicken neck now.

Funny you mention Sr., I thought the same thing. Wonder if he is experiencing health issues or something 'cause he doesn't look good.

Paul Jr. and a grill. Kinda like watching a mint '70 Hemi 'Cuda hit a brick wall at a 100 MPH, sad, very sad.

He left years ago and started V Force Customs. Cody went with him.

Good Riddance. If I wanted to watch a soap opera I would watch "young and the Restless. I gave up on this show years ago. I want to watch them build stuff. Not act like a bunch of moronic disfunctional fools. Maybe now it will get something good in that time slot.

I watched part of one episode.
Didn't like the drama or the bikes they built. Yea they're flashy but just a bit impracticable for me.
I'd rather watch grass grow!!

I grew tired of watching Jr taking credit for all the work that was being done by Vinne and the rest of the shop.
He got WAY too big for his britches.

And Mikey just needs to grow up.
When you're a teenager, it might be funny, when you get to your mid 20s, it's just pathetic.

I second bring back Jessi James or someone with similar talent. . .

Won't be sad to see that show gone.

my 2 cents

That show has already been on for atleast two seasons longer than it should have.

This has to be one of the most dysfunctional famiies in history.

Goodbye & goodridance

Shovelhead said it best.

Big deal. Predictable lame personalities. Dumb projects that are all basically the same.
