Don't know who was in the truck though. I think it would be cool as hell to meet these guys. Their work is outstanding.

Kewl. I would have sped up to look in the cab. I love that show.
I wish they would have left it on Discovery Channel.

I'm pretty sure they have a guy the just drives the the trailer from show to show. He was on one of their shows and Paul Sr was talking with him about how important it was to get the bikes to the show on time and that he trusted the driver to get there safe and on time. Although who knows maybe one of the brothers or mechs were riding shotgun.

Sr and Jr were in Billings MT showing off their Catepillar bike at a trade show last year around this time, and I happened to meet Paul Sr. in Bozeman MT at a traffic light no less. It was one of the first nice days of the year, so I was driving with the windows down and heard a chopper come up behind me. As I think choppers are hella cool, I looked in the rear view to see if he was gonna pass so I could get a better view of his fine ride. Needless to say, I had to do a double take! Finally got to pull up beside him and ask if he was who I thought he was. With a **** eating grin on his face, he nodded his head. I did have a chance to tell him that I thought his show was one of the best on television before the light changed.

I've also ran into Paul Jr a few times, as I used to live in Missoula MT, which is home to The University of Montana. Jr's girlfriend/wife/whatever she is studying nursing there, and at one point in time she worked at the mall in Missoula. This is why you see him sporting Montana Grizzly gear from time to time!

Two of the nicest guys on earth if you ask me. It's safe to say they ham it up quite a bit on TV.

Hope it was a big plane, it's cramped enough normally without having to sit with those dudes!

That's a shame. These dudes are the BEST when it comes to custom theme choppers. I've been watching their show since it's debut in 2002. Unfortunately for me, this is the closest I've ever come to actually seeing one of the bikes in person. I actually started thinking it would be worth the insurance claim to rub up against their trailer just to see what's in it.

This mod was based off of one of their bikes (http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/forum/showthread.php?t=684&highlight=black+widow) <--- linky
