I came across this today

Autoblog: End of the road for American Chopper

Not really a surprise, although kind of a bummer because I used to be addicted to that show but I haven't watched it since Vinnie left. Plus after awhile it's pretty much the same old same old which gets really boring.

 

Bout time. I did love their work though and they did some very nice pieces to honor special groups such as the NYC cops and firefighters.

I only watched it for about the first season. Actually to me it seemed like their work, while ending up looking nice usually, was pretty much blacksmith. Between that and the old man I finally stopped watching it.

 

You know, I like how Senior had turned his life around...compared to how he lived in his youth. I never cared for Junior's work ethics...or in his case lake of it. I'm with your fordtruckman...I pretty much quite watching after Vinnie left. Rick was the only other one on the show that was some what real to me.

 

I just read that vinnie and cody are going to have their own show debuting Feb. 14th. It is on their v-force website.

 

Really, I wonder if it's going to be on a network?

 

Sr. and Jr. became two very rich guys doing that show.

The first couple of years were interesting, but the best episode of all was the fireman's bike in tribute to the brave men and women lost on 9/11.

 

Never really liked that show... too much drama... like a soap opera with motorcycles.

Best how-to show... Norm Abram

 

The first two episodes were good. After that it was boring.

 

1. Pick theme for the bike
2. Get mad and beyotch about not getting parts and they always seem to get behind schedule
3. They always seem to finish the bike at the very last second

That is a typical American Chopper episode.

Awesome motorcycles though

 

This is justice boys. Enjoy it becuase it comes around so seldomly.

 

I hope Mikey can get his own show

 

I live within 20 miles of their shop. Most local people have a negative opinion of Sr. due to his egotistical attitude and the way he treats his kids and the public. That's why his kids treat him the way they do. I won't miss the show at all; the first few episodes were ok, but it went downhill real fast..............

 

There are just so many ways to put a tank,handlebars & exhaust on a bunch of stuff that someone else made....

 

The thing that I can't understand is this.You work with your dad, he's your dad for god sakes.

The two of these guys built one heck of a business,and also quite the marketing empire.

If it were me and I went home every night to a multi million dollar home, and drove to the parking lot in front of that building every day, I'd have to say as much as you didn't get along with someone there has to be some type of middle ground. It's foolish to break up such a successful business over things that should be so simple to fix.

I watch the show every week,mainly because it's the last of all the bike shows.I used to also watch Billy Lane and Indian Larry's shows when they were on before Larry died.

After a 10yr run I figured that they would cancel it,it's a long time for a show to air.

Just my thoughts on it.
