To be quite honest, I am glad they're coming back.  The bikes Sr. and crew were building after Paulie left were awesome.  Much better than anything with him.

Your setting a rather low bar there.

I would have thought with the "design" work Jr did on that Coleman grill some Fortune 500 company would have snatched him up by now.   ;D

I would like to see more shows with people just riding. Traffic. Commuting. Weekend rides. Poker runs. Whatever. No high speed track days. No Sturgis or Daytona. No trick bikes.

isn't there a show on the travel channel like that, the guy with the big mustache? anyone?

Yeah, saw a show with that guy riding through Scotland. It was interesting, but he was very boring.

I've seen him on a classic car show too. Can't remember his name, or that of either of the shows.

Dennis Gage....My Classic Car.

I saw the bike show and it was boring as hell.

There aren't any good motorcycle shows on TV aside from racing.  I saw an episode of Throttle Junkies the other day and turned it off after 10 minutes.  It had Vinnie and Cody in it, they were in Florida I think, and for an entire segment they were at a Mexican restaurant talking about what a chimichanga was and what they were going to order.  Had some cute little blonde.  But she looked tired an annoyed the entire time.  If you aren't having fun while filming why should I watch?  Seriously...WTF???

That's why I like American Chopper.  Cause even though the bikes were crap the dysfunction was awesome....

I caught a show once called "Epic Rides" that was kind of like that.  They'd get some random assembly of riders, just regular joe's/jane's mostly, throw them in some factory gear and motorcycles and ride somewhere.  Sometimes it was motard, sometimes track, sometimes just a awesome ride through some twisties.  I haven't seen it in a while unfortunately.

One day they went to a motard track and 2 of the 3 participants were complaining how it wasn't 'epic' so they scrambled the next day to make it more epic.
