I'm looking to S&S to come out with a M8 oil pump.

As far as shows go, the only builder I'm interested in watching is Joe Martin.  Gobs of talent and little drama.
I like Joe as well. As for the other crew I would call it what it is but I don't talk like that anymore!

Fat tire choppers...not interested. They loose resale value faster than a new Harley. All those shows are the same. They are ok at first when the actually show some of the building process. Then they switch to nothing but drama.

No thanks.   Don't need to see that again.   I'll stick with Iron Resurrection.  Martins Bros Customs.  Outstanding show !

My sentiments exactly.  Their ship sailed a long time ago and left them behind.

I did like watching the building in the show and had a laugh at the demolition moments. Mikey brought off the wall humour to it. Jr has some good talent but acts like a spoilt kid stomping around and throwing his toys out of the pram when he didn't get his own way. Even the wife liked a lot of the builds.
Anyway it'll be a year or two before it's aired on this side of the pond.

True story...one year in Sturgis mid-2000s I saw Mikey and Vinny riding around town on mopeds.

it would be nice if they built motorcycles made to be ridden.

discuss suspension, frames, and performance and what combinations make for a touring bike vs a sport bike....

do some custom innovations that would have some actual benefit to the rider.

That is a great suggestion.  My guess is what they will do instead is wrap Vinnie in duct tape & put him on a piece of plywood & drag him through town behind Srs. brand new pickup truck (covered in maple syrup & duck feathers) with Jr. driving while Mikey throws M&Ms from the back of the pickup that Vinnie tries to catch in his mouth.  It's almost the same thing, only different.

Oh boy, what wonderful news ...  ::)

Maybe they can do a toilet bowl theme bike for their first build? ... then flush themselves down the drain for good and stay there this time!
