I really admire Paul Senior for smart businessman he is. After building a successful metal business and then a successful bike building business, he came up with and sold the idea of combining the attraction of choppers with the fakery of professional wrestling. Some people actually believe that all the yelling and screaming is real (there just happens to be a camera crew on site). I enjoy watching the craftsmanship of Paul Jr. and their suppliers, but I could do without the fake yelling and the soap opera.

American Chopper is real.

Used to work for a guy just like Paul Sr.- so I know what a pain it really is.

The snap on bike i think was one of their best ones. Great attention to detail and lots of very custom work.

Paul Jr seems to be letting the success go to his head a little lately- new car, new girl. Seems like he wants to be artistic supervisor rather than a builder.

Mikey is funny, but talk about someone with no direction in life. There's a biography of Mike on the website and the guy has never held a job for more than about 2 weeks in his whole life.

The Snap-On bike is the best so far.
