digiacomodd: Hello, this is Spc. Digiacomo, with the 1-110th Infantry Unit. We are at Camp Shelby, Miss., and are preparing to leave for Ar Ramadi, Iraq, July 6. My question is do you guys do anything to support our troops, and if so, what, and how to get it? Thanks.
Paul Jr: On May 6, we're going to be doing a big auction with Guernsey's for the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund and Fisher House Foundation.
Paul Sr: A huge auction with a lot of bikes and people in it.
Paul Jr: We'll be auctioning off things like the box we never put on the Fire Bike — which had a lot of controversy — Snap-On tool boxes, lifts ... We'll be auctioning a lot of that off, with the money going to the injured troops and their families.
Paul Sr: A lot of the celebrities are getting involved, like Jay Leno, Steven Tyler, golfer Davis Love, NASCAR drivers and Dale Earnhardt Jr. We're bringing a lot of people into it, and a lot of people are contributing to it.
Paul Jr: We really try and do as much as we can for the troops and the military. As you can see, it's been the dominant theme with the Jet Bike, Comanche Bike and POW/MIA Bike. We're trying to keep up that awareness.
lildirtbiker: Who inspires you the most from your family, and why?
Paul Jr: Sheesh, man ... I would definitely have to say my mother. I don't know why, but my mother through the years has been through a lot, has taught me all kinds of things, and been a positive influence in my life. She's always been there for me.
gdog: Who cleaned up the shop today?
Paul Sr: Vinnie.
Cinderella: How do you ease all the stress in the shop?
Paul Jr: Usually we smash something.
Paul Sr: Usually we smash something.
lildirtbiker: Since you have become well known and having your show, do you miss anything about the way your life was before?
Paul Jr: Yeah, we have no privacy any more. It's both a blessing and a curse.
Paul Sr: I have to agree with that.
