Question overhaul my bike!!!

The wife and I are sitting here watching OVERHAULIN, now I've had this thought before but everytime I watch the show the idea comes back to mind, WHY NOT HAVE A OVERHAULIN FOR THE BIKERS? I think it would be a show that would really take off if put on a channle like SPEED. So what do yall think, wouldn't it be awesome to have an OVERHAULIN for motorcycles?

I'd watch it, but I wouldn't want my bike overhauled without any say so. Unless I really educated my wife, but then she would find out what I really paid for the stuff I already have on.

Great idea, as long as the name Ness isn't involved.

how about pickign a random builder each episode, a small reputable chopper builder instead of one of these get rich off one design, or bolt-on magicians. theres a ton of small respected bike builders out there,

Unfortunately Milwaukee Iron went out of business. Foreign companies were copying his work and selling the generic version for way cheaper. They drove them out of business. They did an interview in a magazine last year, I think it was Iron Works.

Ness stuff on TV would be like Two Wheel Thunder or whatever it was called and Kuyakan,, a bunch of bolt on shiny stuff.
If it was a bagger they would all have a fender cover and stretched bags, and maybe a 21" front rim. On TV you can only do that so many times.
I'm all for a different builder on a different type of bike, with a budget and things we might want to do on our bikes.
