Mu problem with this stuff is that they're all following the Americn Chopper model in lockstep:

1. Artificial 'deadline drama'
2. Every mis-step is a crisis
3. Showmanship over craftsmanship
4. Personality conflicts get more weight than the engineering.
5. Shows are edited to emphasize the moments of friction.
6. The 'stars' are starting to manage their public images (Boyd Coddington's self-serving voice-overs on American Hot Rod).

Rides has its own problems. A huge-displacement engine was described as "1800ccs" rather than 18 liters. they need a technical advisor.

Still, I watch 'em all.

Real motorhead TV is a recent development and I want to support it.
