Pretty fake drama, but I can't help but watch anything with motorcycles.

Ducatamount · July 13, 2013, 03:18:33 PM

Me too

(he says, feeling dirty and cheap)

Uncle Mofo · July 13, 2013, 08:40:46 PM

Scripted drama, tight deadlines, no profits.
But the bikes are cool

Kev M · July 13, 2013, 09:01:51 PM

I love the no profit thing...I'm local, I'l have to bring them a bike and see if they'll do that for me too.

Uncle Mofo · July 13, 2013, 09:18:38 PM

Let me know!
I wonder if they take philly cheese steaks in lieu of payments

I watched the shorts. that's just unwatchable. does that shop really exist?

5 guys putting a front end back in? no wonder people think we're morons.

I think that guy is dramatic by himself. I'm not so sure it's scripted. Anyway, I've set the dvr to record it.

yeah, he's a fruit loop of the exact flavour desired by reality tv producers. unstable, exaggerating, demanding, delusional, dramatic, etc.

Fergus · July 14, 2013, 07:20:38 PM

I'm watching. Looks like there's some added drama, but the personalities seem real.

I work with a couple of SW engineers like that. We should do a reality show!

I've watched all three episodes and I like it, but I've taken bikes to crusty guys that hold onto them for 6 months without working on them before and it sucks if you're the customer.

Skybarney · July 20, 2013, 11:52:13 AM

Make as much fun of the guy as ya want. Truth is he is getting a big paycheck and he may be just savvy enough to know what reality TV producers like.

I once called Ripleys Believe it or Not and got a paying gig a day later. It is all about knowing your market and "fruitloop" is getting paid!
