Hey guys, for those who dont know,my brother, Vinnie DiMartino works for Orange County Choppers here in the Newburgh area of NY. His company is going to be on the Jay Leno show tonight . They build custom motorcycles(choppers),and Jay is a big fan of there show on Discovery channel. I think its on 1130 PM EST tonight. Paul Teutel (his boss) is a a funny guy,it should be a good show,I hope I can stay up late enough to watch it .

Yeah and Vinn got what 2. 1 secconds of fame when the camera panned by the bikes outside at the end of the show ..... what a rip.

Yeah and get Paul jr. to ditch that half ton and get a mighty Cummins.

I always feel a little sorry for Vinnie having to just sit there in the middle of the tornado. He seems like a real good guy with a lot of talent. I suppose it's not as lively all the time as it looks on TV. Does Mike remind anyone of Jack Osborne?

 

[HoleshotHolset]

I was thinking of David Lee Roth +80 pounds... . :-laf



Vinny got rooked - zero airtime.



I watched it - good exposure for OCC..... too bad Paul Sr. was nervous as a old lady at a firing range (??). Paul Jr. was a little less nervous.....

Hey Matt,What did you do to get your mom & dad to let you stay up so late?Mow the lawn. :-laf







Mike

If you must know....

..... actually I was at my girlfriend's apt.



On edit: ( I got distracted by a phone call... . ) Dad just makes me work on his truck - house chores are a thing of the past.

Vinnie did get to go to Leno's garage,he said it is huge(all 3 of them)with to many muscle/performance cars to count.

 

[snowracer69]

Leno's main "Garage" is at an airport... I landed there once last year and his hanger was open... when we went in the FBO, we asked who's cars and G4 that was (+$35million plane) and the guys in there said it was Leno's... Pretty impressive IMHO.



Gotta like a guy if he earned it (Did Leno work his way up from the bottom?)

Yes he did. I don't have time to watch him much but used to. I believe he comes from a blue collar background. He had a rocky start when he first took over for Johnny Carson, but as you can see, he found his groove.

 

[HoleshotHolset]

Little off subject.....

Did anyone see the finished Commanche bike?



Man, is that thing sweet or what?!!

I saw that last night, Talk about down to the wire. That show is real popular with the crew I work with also.
