The Devils Ride

Ummm...the wannabe biker actors in this brainless series would NOT want to find themselves in the company of the biker gang members that I have known (and know now, including a couple Hell's Angels). They'd get their asses kicked proper; bikers don't go on TV and broadcast their activities. Haven't bothered to watch an episode but judging from the promos, lame concept for a show.

Be verrry careful and watch what you say around those guys; odds are they're MBAs and CPAs!

Reluctantly watched the last fifteen minutes of a show last night... admittedly these guys are not the 1%ers (old biker reference not modern occupy reference).

But it was kinda interesting... better than a lot of "reality" shows like American chopper that has become a soap opera with some bikes in the background.

Most of the latest crop of "reality shows" that are popping up on Discovery/History network families are unbearable. Do we need TWO shows about ridiculous gun shops? An entire show about chainsaw sculptors?

Huge waste of time - I ride a lot and have personally known some 1%ers - by association. Even legit 'clubs' are nothing like this. This show implies that the devils are fringe/wannabe 1%ers - like that it would be cool. Trust me it is not. Real Gangs are gangs that steal. rape, deal illegal ________, (please fill in the blank) and are full blown criminals. The !% bikers are just gangs that also happen to ride motorcycles. They would steal yo momma's eye patch if they thought it would benefit the 'club'

The last episode the 'crew' goes out for a repo for a fellow bike guy. No 'gang' is gonna go out and do that **** unless there was real profit in it for them. Also when the guys ride back to bike garage and deliver the 'goods' the three of them riding pull up to the building with the front wheels in. NO bike guy does that. You ALWAYS pull up and then back into your spot. Because you never know when you may have to leave in a hurry. It's the way of the west. Instant sign of posers.

Then the shop guy casually walks over and shakes hands w/them like they were all white protestant 65 year-old golf buddies. I mean really? The "crew" just rode out to Vegas and repo'd your bike for you and all you do is walk up w/ a half homo-handshake? Where's the love? - totally re-god-damn-iculous. I'm otta here on this one, deleted it from my DVR playlist

Oh, before I forget, Two of the 'club' women were hanging out talking. One says to the other "Remember youy're his old-lady" - Uh - no honey, it's you're "his 'Ol lady"

Lame show. These posers are worse than school girls whining about each other.

This show is far, far worse - I laugh at how they constantly refer to the father (Rich) as a "master negotiator", but every time he buys from collectors, he drops his pants! Sure, he might be a credible gunsmith, but a showman he is not...

Sooo, you are saying that their ISN'T going to be a rumble between the Laffing Devils and The Sin Mob?

Who writes these shows? Do they have gang members as consultants?

There's only 1 reason that show is on the air, and it's in the tight pants on the left side of the picture.

Just like the show "Barter Kings" was ready to be cancelled. All of a sudden, cute chick on the show.

The show is a comedy.

I agree i am on the east coast and had alot of contact with some real bikers.

no matter how close you thought you were you were always on edge and just waiting for the next blow up
