Wow, there's a blast from the past. I used to deliver the Journal Star back when I was 13-15 yrs old, 'till I was old enough to get a real job (bagging groceries at Kroger... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) ).

I like watching it but I think Paulie Jr. needs a dose of his father's foot up his cocky, egotistical ass.

Nah, The old man gets things done!
Hell its his place, I don't blame him a damn bit for riding them all hard.. You should see what its like around here when shit don't work right and people are late or don't want to put out! I fired a guy a few months back that was helping me with the shrouds and when he left he told me that I ran the place like a boot camp- I replied thats just because he acted like a damn recruit! |

Plus its TV and drama gets views....
Its probably nothing like that off camera. JR is a better designer because he doesn't have to worry about the business, the money or any bullshit.... Just like many times Brent is a better assembler than I am because he worries about nothing except assembly- He doesn't even know who owns the engine he is building and doesn't need to... He follows my instuructions and works from the proposal.. |

Vinny and Cory are the only ones who do any work in that show. They have some good ideas, And they taught me all I need to know about bike building.
I don't think Jr. is a good person to work alone, I think their bikes are more a colabrative effort than any one persons vision. |

I sure wish I had their workshop and fabricating equipment. I'm always amazed as I watch them create fenders, gas tanks, etc. out of flat sheets.
