Anyone else watch this show?

There is an American Chopper marathon on right now and I am loving this shit. I have never been on a bike, but I would love to learn how to build one :D
 
i like sport bikes more. don't know much about them and will most likely never own one!
 
There was a marathon on last night. I think they played the show for like 6 hours straight. Man, the guy who manufactured the bikes is awesome! They sell anywhere from $30,000 - $150,000. Orange County Choppers was the name of the company and I think they work out of New York.

Another cool show is the one with Jesse James and West Coast Choppers.

I have never been on a bike, but after watching these shows I want to make one.

yah, yah, yah, I'm retarded
 
Is this the show where the son is doing all the work designing a chopper and his dad does nothing but stand over his shoulder and bitch?? If it is..........I saw it. The son was very creative and the dad was a gigantic whinner. :(

The dad reminds me of a boss I used to have, what a dick. Doesn't do anything but bitch about how no one does anything:mad:

He's all about THE DEADLINE!!!!!

Busts Pauly's ass all day long. His other son Mike could get away with murder.
 
i just read about this show in the paper today. you guys have me wanting to watch.
 
I watched the 1 where Cory and the dad build an old school bike. I realize what's up with the dad. He can work with the kids cause the kid doesn't know much about bikes, so the kid needs him. Mike don't know anything either, so he can play around with him. But Pauly knows more then him, he doesn't need the old man. That's why he's always bustin his balls, to feel like he still has to tell Pauly what to do. Like cleaning the shop, telling him he's not fast enough. Because if it was really about the dead line, he wouldn't have them clean the shop in the middle of the project.

That's the way my old boss was, when I was new and didn't know much we got along fine. Once I knew what I was doing, it was never right. He would always say we've never done it like that. 1 time he told me that I didn't know what I was doing, so I said fine, I'm going home you don't need me. Get a call 3 hours later to come back he was sorry. In 3 hours he couldn't figure out how to do a 20 minute job.

The dad can't deal with the fact that his son doesn't need him anymore. He looks like a big biker, but he a teddy bear that doesn't want his son to not need him.

Our next therapy session will be:D

You would love it even more if you actually saw the show when he was building it. The detail is amazing, and the $150,000 price tag isn't too bad either :D

This one was a tribute to the NYFD

What impressed me the most about the kid was the fact that he wasn't working with very high tech equipment, he wasn't working with blue prints, I mean nothing but what was in his head. The show I saw he was up against this guy in Boston (who was working with high tech stuff, blue prints, engineers, etc.) in a creative design contest. ANYWAY........this kid was hammering and bending his bike by vision (HIS FREAKIN' VISION) and in the end he made an awsome bike and won the contest. {{pssst don't tell his dad, but he was 1 day late showing up for the pre-contest events}} I'm not into bikes, but I really enjoyed this show.

URA catch it if you can............:p
 
These choppers are nice rolling sculpture, in a sort of trashy trailer-park sort of way, but they are cartoonishly gaudy and exaggerated, and must surely be next to unrideable. Give me a box-stock Italian or Japanese sport bike any day.

Still, "American Choppers" is one of the best shows on TV. Those two crack me up. And JohnnyB's psychoanalysis is dead accurate. :D

I love the show and I think Pauly is one of the best at what he does.

I'm old school, I like H-D fat and low, no hard tail I'm to old for that:D

When I was a kid, where I grow up there was an HA, Iron Horsemen and The Ax Men club house. So I seen lot of choppers when I was a kid. Those old stretches were hard to turn, you needed a city block to turn um(I exaggerated but you get my point)then if they had ape hangers, it could take 2;). The old Frisco style is what I like.

My cousins boyfriend at time(later her husband) had an old meter maid H-D, they were 3 wheelers. He had it chopped an stretched it was nice. I ways wanted 1 but have never had 1.

Get a deal going with my wife, I get a Harley when I turn 50, she gets a vette when she turns 40. So I get mine in 2 years, she gets her in 7.

Damn you are old .:moon:


I think sport bikes are cool, but if I spent money on a bike I would want a Harley (those choppers cost and arm and a leg or else I would get one). Johnny, when I get my bike we'll race. By that time you will be one of those really old guys on the road who think 20mph is fast, so I should kick your butt :D

The guys name is Billy Lane. He owns and operates www.choppersinc.com

The Physco Billy is the baddest bike out

Also the bikes are very ridable although most are rigid frame setups which means it has NO suspension. So your ass and back absorb all the bumps and pebbles you run over.
