Looks pretty interesting. They're restoring an old indian or doing something to it, I couldn't tell. But whatever they're doing it didn't look like they were being all that gentle from the previews!
Anway, it might be a cool show, something different for them.

That sounds like a change for the positive.
Can a Triumph project be next?

Paul Sr. could take that Bonnie he has parked in the shop and fabricate it into an old school cafe racer. That would be nice and interesting.

I hope they don't butcher a classic Indian for the sake of TV ratings. If they do I can only shake my head in dismay and disgust.

Rock5 I think that is exactly what they do! Look at all the classic cars Chip Foose has destroyed making his show. Its a real shame. I would loved to have restored that Indian back to its former self. These guys do not appercieate this stuff cause they are so flush with cash they tend to lose perspective IMHO. Vegas :hammer:

Well by gosh I guess they done made a fool of me. They figured out they do not have the knowledge to restore the Indian and do not plan to doodad it to a slow death on their show. They farmed the job out to a specialist to restore back to original . :hammer: Vegas

True, but most of the show is about how they are making a "Harley-Indian" kind of bike out of their usual standard frame and homemade parts. I was hoping they would do something different.

I wonder why I keep watching that show, I don't like it, but I can't stop. :brk:

It's like the old joke of the guy bashing his head against the wall, like you're emot there:

"Why do you keep bashing your head against the wall?"

"Cause it feels so good when I stop!"
