Didn't he once say he didn't actually enjoy riding all that much?

I always thought Jesse's and Indian Larry's bikes were way cooler then the cartoonish heaps coming out of OCC, but the show is worth a few laughs every now and again.

If Rick, Vinny and Mikey opened their own shop, THAT would be a show to tune into.

what would it say if they rode to work on a bike they didn't build ?
and look at the bikes they build , do any of them look like daily riders ?

In one of the early seasons (2 or 3) Sr. gave Jr. a loaded Ultra (I believe) as a belated birthday gift on camera.... Made a big deal of saying it was the one with the 103....

I would guess that they wouldn't be riding $100K+ choppers to work (even the OCC production bikes are $40-$50k+ correct?).... I'd guess that now they don't want to advertise for another company as it's all about sponsorship and branding.....

Both shops have bikes in them with covers over them most of the time, but I have caught a few shots where the covers were off and there were some Harley's in the OCC shop.

Jesse's building Rods now instead of bikes. His show is lame but entertaining. Just like the whole JR/Sr thing. All entertainment. Sometimes good usually not so good but it beats Real Housewives.

If you watch in the background you always see a harley sitting in the shops. Vinny said that he prefers muscle cars now a days instead of bikes. I think Rick is the only one who builds a nice bike when left alone. The bike he built for himself is nice. Jesse is such an a$$ that I can not even stand to watch him anymore, his act is so played out. I have a hard time believing Sr. can build a bike at all. I am no expert by any means but good lord some of the stuff he has trouble with makes me laugh. The steroids must of ate his memory up.

There is something fundamentally wrong with watching that stupid show and worrying about what the people in it are or aren't doing...
