Is anyone else an American Chopper fan
I LOVE that show... Discovery rocks! Amercan Chopper, OCC, Bike Build-off, Monster Garage... WAY cool!! Those shows rawk. I'm inspired!
It's just funny how in Monster Garage, like a $3000 USD set of rims is a freebie, and the $5000 paint job is also free

Paul Sr is a DICK 
what bugs me is that each bike his son finishes, it's usually on time (and the deadlines are insane), and Paul Sr is always like - wow he did a great job, it amazing, it's gorgeous, yada yada yada, but with EVERY new bike they start they fight over the same ****. I swear it's pure dejavu every time, and I feel bad for Paul Jr - he works hard and he does amazing work, so why put more press on him than he's already got. He's proven over and over that he can do it, so let him do it. And he's so nice to his g/f son - gave him that vintage chopper, and he nice to his fat bastard son (the one with long curly blond hair that looks like a reject from the family gene pool). At the end, I guess Pauly Jr will be a better bike builder

he used to make the bikes though - I think he just wants to be really tough on him cuz he knows later on the customers are gonna be that tough on him and wants to teach him to deal with it. He knows Paul Jr is gonna be the heir to his OCC dynasty. $150Gs USD for that racecar bike - DAAAAMN!
my dad is nothing like that... and I'm glad. I think I'd be an alcoholic if my dad was like that.

ohhhh... and the new trailer --> 
hey I missed part of the jet bike show - anyone know why Vinny wasn't there? That blond guy is a dick - hope he's never on the show again - the guy that did the wiring for the bike. Paul Jr stayed late and put the fender on, and 1st thing next morning they were on his case about it... WTF, is there no reward for going the extra mile?

I love the show because it reminds me of my family minus the bike building we don't do that but we sure fight alot.
I think Discovery has found the pulse of a whole new generation. before it was just "look at the couger staulk it's prey" and "so this Atom has this many electrons" crap that wasn't all that great. now they are showing a new side of things... like frontiers of construction.... which is coool because you get to see some cool stuff being built while being edumakated...
and Monster Garage and Monster house and American Chopper and the great biker build ... all show what is possible with a little determination.... while day to day drama thrown in adds the much needed flavour their shows have always missed. crazy deadlines are just their to spice up the drama... getting people to butt heads.
OCC is great but I'd love to see west cost choppers build bikes with crazy deadlines.

My fave show on television. I like Monster Garage, but it doesn't compare to OCC. The lingo and attitudes on MG get old and played out sometimes. OCC is like being a fat kid (I am) with a cupcake everytime I see it.
Just got my OCC poster on the weekend, as well as my gigantic West Coast Choppers poster (rip off for the WCC one).

American choppers is the ****, after watching that it makes me wish I actually knew how to do body work and stuff like that. I cant wait till tommorow night to see the Apache bike to finish....stealth is the way to go.
They should have a competition between OCC and WCC.
