Watched the first show, not sure why, but kept watching and it had nothing to do with the bikes.

Tonight, the final show!

While it may not be what it appears, from everything I read, this show was not 'pitched' by Sr and Jr. These guys just really were themselves, they thought the publicity would help them sell some bikes.

Obviousely years later, everything they do is semi staged or for a PR move, but these guys didnt do anything to get on TV, TV came to them and it might be the last of what "reality" was, as every "Reality" show is now staged.

I used to watch every episode than suddenly just stopped. Never had a bike,but the dad & jr. remind me a lot of my son & I. The only difference being we just "goof" with each other,no real anger.

I think it somehow spawned off of the biker build off series. I watched it from the beginning and always thought it was cool to watch them create something with metal and tools. Once they got big and hired that assbag computer design guy and got the water jet it got really bad really fast.

I watched for a long time then quit, but the lawsuit stuff brought me back. It amazes me when any sucessful business blows itself up for stuff thats really kinda petty.

Glad to see they made up. Life is too short, even if your family is a bunch of assholes.

Is this the show with the guy who married the Nazi? I'm sure it will be missed.

Senior sued junior to get back the 20% that he gave junior. Junior countersued and he won to get some cash out.

I think that Steve in the office is a rat boy. He stokes the fire between senior and junior.
