    They always were an overpriced pile of shit, I don't think I even watched a complete episode before I worked out what a shit fucking program it was

    I'd channel hopped through on occasion (remember wanting to watch TV and being beholden to what shit they decided to put on at a given time?) and realised they were trying to over hype dramatic time pressure.

    But it always struck me that they were just bolting things together, premade frames, engines, wheels, then trying to make it look like they were being gnarly custom by fabricating an exhaust, whooptie!

    And I was betting the engines were never tuned more than, well you run a 1/64 mainjet on a 1500 raped budgie engine using a thunderjet carb with a anal penetrator air filter.

    I hated all the yelling too so I kept clicking the clicker trying to escape an antique valuation show, reality elimination island thing or something about dancing. Jeez.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Did you get to the CR500 motor in the Harley chassis ?

    Well I have now.

    It's of course not the first 2 stroke Hardley by a long shot, and clearly they cant tune an engine or make engine mounts worth more than the compressor or whatever they mounted in the lead wing clone.

    Still coolest Hardley ever.

    I remember watching the odd episode when they were the current big thing, and I wondered WHY people paid so much for bolt-together piles of shit they produced.

    Bikes and Beards has started to be quite entertaining, but it is odd to have random bible verses lobbed at you in the middle of otherwise engaging content.

    That jetski bike is looking like a pretty good idea right about now!

    The jetski scooter is awesome.

    Can't but think that perhaps he should have spent more time on his business and not as much money on ridiculous projects seeing as it seems he folded the operation a while back.

    Must have been a fun distraction but it couldn't last.

    Bugger off, I've got other things to spend my money on, it's hard for a major deity to make ends meet at the moment. And all you others, stop praying for lotto numbers to come in, it really fucks me off, especially if I'm watching telly at the time, I mean Jesus talk about selfish!
