I realize that most everything on TV is done for Dramatic Effect..
However it seems like the Tuttles are always involved in helping worthy causes. Whether it is a terminally ill child,the NYPD post 911 or whatever.
For that alone I have to give them a

Just saw that they're building their own shop...wow are these guys just drowning in money now??

I like the show, sorry got hooked on it. I don't know one chopper from another, but it's cool seeing any bike/car built up from scratch - I like seeing the details that go into it.

I read the new season was being finished for this year. It was a good show and critically acclaimed too.

Where did you read this? I loved "Rides"! No other car show took the viewer into the places/shops like Rides.

Bomb on a set of Dubs

Voila....another car that looks just like the one they did last week. Charge a god awful lot of money......watch Castro kiss celebrity ass.

What's not to like.

It was in a magazine like Hot Rod or something like that. I read it a month ago or so while hanging around the mag isle while my wife was shopping.

The show and bike building is all just suppot mechanisms for the real money making business, TEE SHIRTS!!! Heard something like $40 million in tee shirts! I bet the 2.95 tee shirt guys love them, LOL! it also got both Paul's hotter chicks! Both upgraded during the shows run.

At least Frank Sr. really enjoyed his Elenore.. I bet he hammered on it and really put the through its paces during the 17 miles he put on it!

Oh wait, 10 of those miles were probably Unique's shake down cruise.
