As usual, I'm of two minds about it. I find myself agreeing with both Stern and Dogg. Having said that, I would difinately rather look at a magazine or a show where ordinary guys build extraordinary machines without unlimited use of professional equipment or employees. In my home shop, which has most of every kind of tool I can afford,(and after years of buying stuff, piece by piece as I could afford it) I build some pretty cool stuff, usually the hard way. Want a cool looking steel bracket? I might be able to do it with a torch, welder and lots of grinding. Wish I had a 150 thousand dollar water jet cutter? I suppose, but lets be real. And I guess that is what I'm really saying in summation, I like my bikes, people and craftmanship to be real, cause that inspires me more than watching demi-gods sorta build stuff. One final note, I really used to like a custom rodder (car) magazine called Old School Rodz. Check it out if you can find it.
