Great show. I just wish Pauly would knock his dad out one time. Maybe that would shut him up...lol Pauly's old man does not give him near the respect, or thanks for anything he does. Atleast not on any of the shows I have watched. Still an awesome show though. I like the 9-11 bike they built.

I think he'd get one chance! He's one big dude. Last week there was a scene at a gym, and he was bench pressing 360 (plus the bar).

I was watching the other night, don't know which kid it was, but the old man sent him over to grind off some bolts. Dipstick kid grinds off the bolts WITHOUT putting a nut on the bolt first...basically ruined about 4 bolts. They were building a POW/MIA Vietnam bike. Sweet ride, but the blonde, curly haired kid is a dipstick IMO.

He is dumber than a box of rocks. He is only around because his old man feels sorry for him. It would be hard for me not to blow my lid working in a shop with him. I would keep him limited to a broom, and a dustpan.

The old man is a little arrogant sometimes but I still like the show and they do build some beautiful machines.

Yeah, its a neat show, they build some REALLY NICE motorcycles on there. I think all the welding and fabrication stuff they do is neat.

I think they have an understanding. I did see one episode where the two of them sat down on a couch and just talked....and both of them ended up in tears while they hugged. There's probably more respect there than you realize.

Yeah, I've noticed that too. But I believe that positive reinforcement works just as good at the job site as it does with children. His pride is just getting in his way.

I think my favorite was the Spider Man bike, but the old-school POW/MIA design they finished last night was pretty nice looking too.

These guys built a chopper for a freind of mine, he will have it out here in Arizona in a coule of weeks. Took a long time to get built but well worth the wait.

Pride and just having two different ways of doing things. When I was a kid I always got frustrated while helping my dad because he wanted things done a certain way. I thought my way was better. Now, I'm the same way he was. I want things done a certain way (the RIGHT way mind you).
