Does anyone feel it's time for Junior
Permalink   
 


I realize that he may be satisfied with doing the show circuit living on the fame of the Bikes built during PJD, an Ac Jr. v Sr.

 

However does anyone having the perception that he is hurting his brand by waiting for another corporate build.

My opinion is the he needs a Anti-Vemon like move to push his talents.  Or it's just might be the possibility that he doesn't have the skills to hit another home-run iconic bike.

Wasnt that the question sr always asked? Does Jr really want this? All his work ethic and start at noon days sr always complained about. I always had the question whether he really wanted to do this. Now that Vinnie is gone and Brendan is back at his shop, is there even a shop left or did the banners come down?

 It's not a question as to whether Junior wants it.  You always want to please your dad if you are a son.  It's more now of being in a situation of trying to please two masters.  If Junior would go the route of working all the time an forgetting about taking time to build a family.

 What are you saying Jr wants to build bikes or he does not want to build bikes. As soon as he split from dad it was a boutique and then scribbling on napkins the plans for a dog park. We fought forever on this subject, he wants to be a designer, this age you are a designer on the computer. The people he designed for are lost until they see the ideas on a computer generated program.

You want to build one off motorcycles with parts other people make and redo parts over and over that dont fit the vision of the "designer" you have to find customers willing to pay 6 figures. Somewhere along the lines, jr's skills are cutting round bar into webs. All the rest was always done by someone else. Without the two hour shows of advertising, those customers are tough to find. Otherwise make them a 60k choppper to raffle off and build three in the time it took to do one.

That is the basic difference between the Jesse bike supporters that will give you a custom chopper from a pallet metal and an old drivetrain. The pallets jr gets are frames, tanks, fenders, air cleaners, motors, trannys, complete rim tire packages. Fabrication is struts, handle bars and maybe a tire spacer or two. 

If he wants out, he should do what he wants. but to keep his name in the news its always gonna be as a cake decorator.
