I seem to remember him stating that he pulled the plug on Monster Garage and the other shows he was on because he didn't like being a celebrity and just wanted to build bikes. To be fair, the paparazzi are the ones who kept him in the limelight, especially when he married a movie star and got busted running around. For the most part, he always seemed to be respectful to all of the regular joes on his shows and treat them how they deserved to be treated. He seemed to be a pretty nice guy, unless you're married to him.
On the plus side, it's refreshing to see that a blue collar gearhead/fabricator can become a celebrity every now and then.
I've always respected his crafting/fabricating abilities...... there's not much he can't do with metal.
Plus, he's always been a gun guy....which he said was a secondary reason for his move to Texas.
I gained a few notches of respect on the personal side when I saw an interview he did about why he sold WCC and moved to Texas. He said the main reason was to be a better father to his kids, and be a better example than what he was.

To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison
