    I have watched that program once and I think that it sort of boring, only because JR hasn't gotten to making bikes yet. I think that his bikes are going to be a lot better than the crap SR has produced for a long time.

    Speaking of new shows, has anyone watched that new show called Ma's Roadhouse? It is on TRUTV and is about the biker bar called Strokers in Dallas TX?

    Rick Fairless' Strokers Dallas

    [​IMG]

    Jr is building bkes man.

    And there ain't that much wrong with the Old Man. He just knows how to run a business and gits too serious at times.
    JR comes in late , takes off during the day and goes home early.
    Mikey screws off a lot.

    But you probaly don't know the over head he has........

    Never said I have been to Strokers, and by the looks of the show, I am not missing out on anything.

    Yeah I have no ida what kind of overhead that SR. has, I am just a Business Major.

    Sr. got rich off of Jr's designs. Hmmmm, who has the talent for the creations??

    I'm behind a computer screen

    Not aware of who does what.
    Sory..

    I ran a business I started, and ran 24 hrs a day for 19 yrs with the help of the OL.

    I Don't have a degree. but the OL went to College for 6 yrs and has 2 degrees and she ir a finanace and credit manager.

    Most folks probaly haven't ran a business and don't know how much of yer time it takes up. And how easy it is to loose it.

    Senior was in business before he started OCC.
    So I think he gits tired of having to push folks to git things done.
    He's like 61 yrs old.
    When you git that old you might be a little grouchy too
    I've been told I am........:D

    I think the DSC has him doing part of what he does to freak folks out.

    And Junior can't even build a gas tank. Rick has to do it for him.
    And the engines they put in the bikes are already built.

    And in his new business he has somebody else to build the gas tanks for him.
    He wants everybody else to do the work for him
    Senior didn't run him off. Senior just tried to git some work out of him.

    Think too many folks gives JR too much credit.
    I think Senior has to push him to git work out of him.
    He OL even says hes like a little girl all whiney and all.

    He don't like pressure and don't like to work all day.

    He just wants the Glamor.

    I just want the money............:rant:

    I would agree that it was probably a huge pain in behind to motivate JR, no one can dispute and I am well aware that SR was in the iron industry before OCC, but frankly, JR is no slouch when comes to fabricating, which is not even his strong point. His strong point is having the vision for the bike and able to translate it to bike with the parts that go onto it. So what if he can;t make a tank? Can you??

    Are you hiring.
    A lot of the things that OCC does is Piece work.
    They do build some things.
    But if you had their money and could buy 5 axis machines and have the folks form Flow to come and show you how to run them. WTF.
    What I could do is limitless.

    If you got big money I will come out of retirement.
    So when it comes to building a tank that Jr. can't

    Don't want to brag, But.

    I was a locksmith for over 40 yrs. Was taught the trade by Germans.
    LIke I said I started from the ground up and ran a locksmith company for 19 yrs.

    Do you have any Idea what a locksmith of 40 yrs ago was taught and did by hand ?
    We did a lot of things with a Tinners hammer.
    I used to build lockin devices for different applications back in the 60 and 70's
    The Germans taught me those things.
    I started when I was in the 12th grade of school and worked with the owners son who was about 6 yrs older than me. I only went to school till 12:00
    Got any idea what a locksmith can do. We are pretty close to a Blacksmith.

    I used to use a tinners hammer and do a lot of things with them.
    I took welding in Vocational school back in like 1967 or 68.
    Welded with welding rods, brazing rods, coat hangers, silver solder Mig welding
    I worked for Great DAne trailers for 3 yrs. I did a lot of rebuilding of all kinds of trailers..
    I made patterns for things on trailers and build things with the patterns.
    A gas tank is a pattern that somebody cut out by hand and welded together.

    I can use a tourch and have heated king pin plates on trailers with a rosebud tip and straighted them.
    Took Aluminum gas tanks off tractors trailers that had been in wrecks and cut them apart and repaired and rewelded them.
    I was in Gas tankers one time for 8 months cause the top dude seen my work and kept me in them cause nobody could weld them like me.

    And you know what all kinds of trailers move freight around the country.
    Flat Bed, dry haulers , refers, low boys, tankers and everything.
    And we did everything to them.
    My last father in law had a body shop and I used to work with him on the weekend.
    And he build Holmes Wrecker bodies, and painted.
    KNow they have changed the kind of paint you use since them.

    So when you say can you. I'm not a person that you can just throw those words at.
    I've done anything I've put my mind to.
    I may be a Redneck but I'm pretty dang good on making things if I want to.

    I used to make a lot of things by hand. Made safe door skins too.
    I've used rivit guns and welded and rebuild gas tanker trailers up.
    I've done burglar alarm work and a lot of other things.

    The problem now is I'm 60, I'm retired and git to be a lot like Chucktx.
    Lazy and proud of it.
    The biggest thing of the day for me is a Power Nap........:cussing:

    I don't have a place to do everything anymore.
    Got a tourch and welding maching, ain't used it much. Regulators need work.
    Welding helmet has got broke.
    I do have a nice bike lift and a air compressor.

    Just to let you know Chucktx can do anything to a bike or whatever.
    He has the tooks, welders, and shop.
    But he works on things he wants to work on.
    Know you seen him take a lot of time to build Chromes bike and paint it.
    And he has kept up with the new kind of paint. And he can do airbrush paintin
    And small power coatin.
    And when the clock strikes 12:00 during the day, he's heading to the pad.
    Finding somethng to eat.
    Turns the MP off and he's out like a Big Dog....... LIghts out.

    But if'n yer lookin for somebody that has made a place to do it and still does it even though they are old, Chucktx is the man.
    If I need help or in a bind I call on OLd Redneck Chucktx.........
    And he's not as lazy as me.
    But he sleeps more than me........:gah:

    JB, I thought you only saw the show once??

    CB always has the last word on this forum. I think that's why they hired him. And it's prolly cause with that edjimicated wife he doesn't get the last word at home.

    :D
