It looks awesome and I'm going to watch it but I'm a little skeptical of how real it will be. Some of these motorcycle gangs, clubs, groups, whatever are pretty tight knit people and especially if they do criminal activities so I'm just a little skeptical but I'm sure it'll be a half decent show either way. Much better than the OCC "Lets air our dirty laundry to the whole world for money" crap.

 

Seriously, the whole JR vs SR thing is just lame

 

i think Sons of Anarchy is better

 

I watched that show and it reminded me of a quote from the movie " The Crow"...

" A whole jolly club with jolly pirate nicknames ! " ~~Brandon Lee as Eric Draven

Sorry...I can't take these guys seriously. Then again,I don't get the whole Harley "lifestyle" and why people care to be a part of it.

 

What Harley lifestyle? I just want one to cruise pch on the weekends.
There are street bike gangs, just not as popular as 1%'ers

 

Don't get me wrong,I can totally appreciate taking your bike and going for a ride ( I put 8000 miles on my bike last year,only being home one day a week for most of the year ).And I realize that there are sportbike gangs as well.

The "lifestyle" I refer to is the whole attitude alot of Harley owners have that if you don't ride a Harley ( or similar American made cruiser) you're a lower life form. I wave to everyone i see on a bike,no exceptions. On our rides the least courteous riders are generally on Harleys. They ride 2 wide and 4/6/10 deep and don't give a damn who or what is behind them. We've followed guys like this for miles doing 45-55 MPH with no chance for 4 of us to pass a group that large.
In the group I ride in only one guy doesn't ride a sportbike ( crotchrocket). That doesn't mean that we ride like idiots or do wheelies/stoppies all the time. We're not out trying to drag our knees on public roads.But we do ride "spiritedly". Usually ride 60-70mph,and prefer windy 2 lane roads.

I knew a guy who had a Harley.He was a friend of a friend,and my buddy thought we could hang out and "ride" together. His idea of riding was meeting up around 7 or 8 PM and going to a strip club or bar.Then after awhile we'd leave there and go to another one.Maybe even a third. I told him I wasn't interested in that and he dogged on me about not being his kind. His exact words were " Just because you have a bike doesn't mean you ride".I don't do it for show.I don't do it to impress anyone. I don't care if someone doesn't like what I ride.If I rode a Harley with my preferred riding style all I'd do is grind metal all day.I can still appreciate what they build. Just don't want one.

OK.... over.Sorry for the long-winded post.

 

I bet the Hell's find this amusing. This is bound to end up like Pawn Stars or OCC with a bunch of staged/scripted scenes and unnecessary drama to make the show seem more conflict based. I like the concept but it seems like TLC and Discovery always take a novel idea and crap all over it. My 2 cents.

 

Watched 2 episodes and deleted it off my DVR. Fucking scripted lame bullshit.

My aunt and uncle are bikers so i grew up around this shit. I know what goes on in this lifestyle and this show "touches" on certain things that CAN and do happen but they can't show real deal stuff that happens so they fake it. This show looked cool but failed IMO.

 

I agree

 

x3, i watched 1 full episode, where they repo the bike.

completely scripted, but hey, its TV

 

Called it.

 

I got done with season 1 of this show and I must say this was the biggest waste of time ever. Such scripted crap, nothing but grown men bitching like women. Was really hoping it would take off at some point but it never did.

 

Yeah, very disappointing. I'd be surprised if it comes back for another season.

 

its already over? damn that was a short season. yeah im pretty sure they wont be making another one

 

I like the the president looks/acts like a total pussy
