Have you all seen the show on the Discovery Channel? That show is awsome! Paul Jr. makes some REALLY REALLY nice bikes! I love that last one he made the helicopter bike one. It was bad!

American Chopper is probably my favorite show on TV. When it comes to motorcycles Paul Jr. is an artist, and Jesse James is a craftsman. Same line of work, yet different tastes.

Dang, I missed that. But what a soap opera between Jr & Sr. You hardly ever see Sr. picking up a wrench. That show is great.

I like the show but how do they get anything done with all the fighting? I wonder if it's staged for the camera.

I love that show. At first I didn't like it as much as monster garage, but I like it a lot more now. I haven't seen Paul sr do any work other than the bike he worked on with Cody. That's gotta be cool for Cody to be around the shop with the other guys.

They make it look like Paul Sr. likes Cody more than his own son...

It's a alright show, from what Ive seen of it (seen it once or twice)
But I get enough of that in everyday life.. or used to.
A buddy of mine does his own choppers/bikes/etc
and has won many many shows with his bikes.
He doesn't live that far down the road from me and he does excellent work. He's competed with Jesse James, and names of that sort before...
I wonder if I oculd get him a show ?:P

Of course it is - kind of like professional wrestling with wheels.

Acording to mikey(taken off the Discocvery message boards) they don;t fight that much, the editors just think it's cool to run Paulie Jr, bashuing moment (not verbatim.)

I walked into the house the other day and my wife was about ready to cry when Sr. gave that bike to Cody. I looked at her and she said, "I can't believe I am actually watching American Chopper!" Looks like I almost have her trained
