10 minutes with a cut-off wheel and a grinder and those are gone. gettin them powder coated is a pain, but he coulda had his painter hit that real quick.
Such a great all around boot. Riding the dragon, pitbiking, dualsporting the upper peninsula- these things are great. I have perforated boots for really hot days but the webs are so comfy, I usually wear them anyways.

The 'creativity' has been gone for years. They've been stagnant since about the time they started doing their own frames and went into major production. The show got old and Discovery couldn't bring in many new big companies to have bikes built. Because let's be honest, those companies weren't that interested in having choppers, they were interested in having their name on TV for an hour- and they paid for that opportunity. Less companies coming in led to Discovery taking smaller amounts of money and that led to less interesting/less expensive bikes.
He never had any. His dad built the company and Jr. just got to play around for a while. Paul put a stop to it to save his empire. What's funny is the people that think that show was actually about bikes.
I don't know if it's my nature or the nature of the interwebz, but almost 100% of the time there is a "Would you...?" thread on any forum, my answer is No. Odd
