Anyone else watch the show on Discovery Channel?

Been dying to discuss whats been going on lately with everything thats happening on it.

Also have been watching older seasons (2003,2004) on Discovery turbo and have to say i miss those old days were Paul Jr would actually design bikes & was actually working.

lets get a discussion going.

that old dude is a beast

his like 60 and still a freak

The last couple of series have become more about the Tuttle family issues, its become less about the bikes they build and more of a marketing tool for their business.

It was better when Rick and Vinnie would just build great bikes (season 1-4) and Paul Jr would just help.

have to agree,

Paul Jr, although he has a terrible work ethic did design some awesome bikes in seasons 1-4.

Vinne & cody have opened there own shop called v-force custom choppers.

Does anyone remember Campo? i think he was one of the greatest designers they ever had, although rick is also a very good metal worker who seems to be in his prime/peak atm.

Mikey straight out cracks me unbelievable amounts, everytime his on screen i just feel like hitting him. mega tilt mikey

Have to agree, the show has gotten away from the bikes too much!

Shame about mikey going into rehab

[JORDS]

rehab.....what for?

[Type S Tony]

rehab.....what for?

I heard about this but couldnt seem to find any information on the interwebz, Apparently Paul Sr is a recovering alcholic aswell and was in rehab a few times in his younger days, I also found out Paul Jr was in rehab when he was in his teens/early 20's but dont know what for.

[Adam]

In the latest episode 18 he puts himself into rehab for alcohol. Paul Jr was in rehab when he was 16 he says in the ep.

was campo the dude who spent like 50 hours making the face of liberty but ended up scrapping the project cause paul jr/snr didn't like it?

i bet rick goes on rage mode offscreen. theres no way anyone can cop that much shit and still have a smile at the end of the day.

Yes Campo was that guy, Anything he touched Metal wise would always turn out looking awesome.

yes i believe Rick would be Raging also, the way things are being run in that shop lately is pretty messed up. I remember when I was working as a mech, my Boss went on a 2 Month holiday overseas & the guy he left in charge was like Sr and after a while i found it was becoming hard to concentrate & do the tasks at hand becuase your constantly thinking about keeping the man in charge happy rather than the work your doing.


Discovery Turbo Max channel has been airing all the old season, Love watching these shows as there actually building bikes. David Mann bike is my favourite bike so far.

Love the show and been watching since season one,

Paul Senior is a total moron and has no idea on how he should treat his own sons. He flips at Paul junior like a steroid raging animal who can barley string a sentence together, if you rewatch any episode's where he is spitting his dummy and listen to his explanations of why he is going of the rails he always sounds like a douse bag....

Also the way he belittles Mikey in front of all the work colleges and the rest of the world has left Mikey with depressive complex.

the 2 boys sue the old man in a future episode, due to the fact he used them to enhance the business then dumped them both, we wont see that for another 6 months but

I really dont understand how Paul Jr Designs makes any money the stuff they are designing

Wow How sad, With the episodes on discovery turbo atm its all season 1,2,3 currently playing and its so good to see them actually working & actually see mikey be funny (as much as i hate him) rather than the drug fkd sad case his become.
