That is exactly my thoughts.

Though I have to admit I would hate to try and ride Jr's bike for any length of time.That thing is a hemorrhoid problem just waiting to happen.

Jr's bike was simply an amazing piece of art. That he can dream these up and he and his crew can execute on it is incredible.
JJ is an idiot. Builds a very good and cool chopper, but Jr's simply at another level with what he pulls off.
I'd hate to ride JJ's chopper too though, having to look to the left or right the whole way to see where you're going. He couldn't see overit! LOL The thing is that Jr doesn't limit himself to "choppers", he just builds what he wants, screw the labels. Choppers are pretty dull IMO, I like that Cafe Racer show for cool bikes. I can watch Jr's products anytime though.
Sr...pretty cool build if it was American Snowmobile, and I'm glad they just built what they wanted to. The contest was just for the channel's publicity and trying to get JJ a second chance on tv (he blew it IMO).
I'd like to see the numbers, I'm betting there was a HUGE margin of victory for Jr. He had the right attitude the whole time. They're far more professional than any of the others, and the products reflect how perfect their situation is.

I never understood what she saw in him either? He always seemed like a jerk even when he had his own TV show.

Man what a load of crap. The first two hours were ok, building bikes but the last final hour live was a real dog and pony show. I am supprised no one forgot their lines, or did they.

Senior built a snow mobile that sorta copied the three wheeler by junior. Junior buid a calliope that looked like it came from Ringling Bros and the mouth of the south built a real chopper that you could actually ride, sort of. I fast forwared most of the last hour bull and came on the part where junior and senior get together, now that was reality tv at it's lowest. Also did you see James and senior chatting it up in the background while junior got the spotlight and first place (act supprised here). I think they were wondering how they got into this mess. The whole thing was like a poor copy of a melodrama.

I did really think junior could have done much better but he jumped the shark with that thing.

Have there been any new episodes since the Bike build off?


Wheels

That was it for the holidays. Maybe it will get cranked up again next month.

Thanks RK. I am not sure how many more seasons they can churn this out since they seem to have done just about everything.


Wheels

Well it looks like they have at least one more season in them. Tonight is the first episode of their new season and Senior has built a bike for Donald Trump. On a much sadder note Senior's mother has passed away and it is the subject of some tension between him and Paulie.

Senior is on "Celebrity Apprentice" this season and he was project manager for the first task.

Post #16725

She was actually his Step Mother, Mikey stated in the show when talking to Vinny that she had her own grandchildren but still treated them very well. Kind of sad to hear that they didn't go to the funeral or even reach out to him when he looses his Mom/Step Mom. But he SR wasn't even choked up over her passing, yet was balling over the loss of his dog....

My younger brother borrowed $5K from my Dad who was retired and on a fixed income. My brother thought it was a gift and everyone else in our family thought it was a "loan". It was always a fight between them, my brother hadn't talked to my Dad much in the last 6 years. Last Oct my Dad was diagnosed with brain cancer and had a large tumor removed. Me and my 2 brothers drove down to VA from NH the day he had surgery. It was the first time my younger brother had seen my Dad in 6 years.

My Dad passed away about 3-4 weeks after this surgery and they never got to talk because my Dad was so out of it after the surgery due to the meds. My brother kicks himself constantly now because he waited so long to make it right....

When I was watching the episode last night I was thinking about this and hope they can at least get so they can talk to each other.

I hadn't seen the episode yet when I posted but last night was the first time I had ever seen it mentioned that she was his step mom. Senior has always called her his mom and she was the one person I felt he truly loved and respected by the way you saw him treating her. I still remember the episode where they fixed up her old car.
