I saw the episode where the one guy finished the bike. The producer of the show does what he can to make sure the bikes don't get finished, then he gets to keep them. If I were to have a shop build me a choper, it would definately be Exile. Did anyone see the biker build off with the trike? My wife kept saying the Detroit Brothers bike was better looking, I said, 'but will it last' sure enough they have it falling apart on the road. Looks like wednesday is my new night to watch car shows, since it's all reruns on tuesdays now. Also anyone catch street tuner challenge or whatever? Hmm, who'd going to win that? Cobalt vs Skyline vs Jetta. It's like the Chevy and VW guys are bringing a knife to a howitzer fight!

^Agreed.
And I agree about Exile - they would get my business. They're bikes are all go and so little show that they are all show too
The Detroit Broters bike had some interesting things on it but I kept feeling like I was watching Junkyard Wars [img]graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

Those are some of the most amazing bikes I have ever seen. Almost looks as if they came out of a cartoon. Any idea how much one of those cost?
Anyway, back to Pinks I saw it and I enjoyed it. My wife liked it too. It was 'gritty' to say the least as far as producing the show, but that's what reality TV is supposed to be I guess. Not quite sure why the stumpy dude with the stock-ish Firebird wanted to line up with a borderline-street legal race car that the tall dude drove with the Z28. I was expecting a more heads-up kind of race, as that's how you do it on the street instead of this "Give me 15 car lengths" thing. It was some good racing though and the Z28 ended up taking the Firebird home, even though the Z28 popped it's motor on the last run. I liked how he told his buddy to keep the nitrous setup hidden under the headlight a secret and the first thing the Z28 guy asked was for the Firebird guy to turn on his headlights to see if he hid a 'kit' under there.
Saw the preview for this week's show and it's just two motorbikes racing. Yay. Not.
I do wonder though what the enticement is to be on this show, other than to be on TV? Does the loser get monetary compensation for the value of his vehicle is he loses? I've heard of street racing for thousands of dollars but rarely for pinks.
