OK, I'll admit to still watching American Chopper, though I've found the last few seasons to be less and less enjoyable. I was absolutely stunned at what they let pass with the bike they built for Billy Joel (on national TV, no less). Historically I've found it to be educational -- I've learned some things TO do and some things NOT to do. Anyway, they are now to the point of pulling in completely inexperienced employees to build the bikes due to being chronically short-staffed, the appearances on shows like Leno, Letterman, etc. appear to have dried up, and they are now building bikes for plumbing companies and midwestern corn-growers. Looks to me like the honeymoon may be over.

And let me be completely honest here, the only reason I posted this is to hit the 100-post mark and finally get rid of the Hang Around status...

 

Looks like it will take one more post to become a Prospect, so here it is...

 

You shameless post-*****!

 

I agree, its not even funny to see Mikey do stupid stuff anymore [:'(]

 

Honestly, I haven't watched that show for well over a year now!

 

Who is OCC? After Vinny and Cody left i stopped watchin too. Tired of the pointless yelling from a no talent jackass. IMHO the only cool bike was the I Robot bike.

 

Don't gots no cable or satellite, so OCC is not on my radar screen at all. But from what I haveheard, I ammissing nothiing. Has anyone heard how the sales of the "Greenie" are? I have not even seen one yet, not that it would make any difference anywho.

 

It's all the same, the big one yells at the little one and the fat one does something stupid...

 

All the "reality" shows are the same, with the same script week after week. Only the setting is different, bike shop, funeral home, crab boat, etc. etc. Fat ones, stupid ones, loud ones. Who cares? I got my own life (with the same script as the shows...)

 

IMHO, the first show was the only decent one. They weren't yelling at each and being stupid for the camera. I felt it probably showed for the most part what it was like in their shop. Otherwise, I refuse to watch it for the bullsh*t theatrics. Even though I don't care for his attitude, I used to like watching Jesse James' bike building shows because it actually showed him building bikes, not acting like a buffoon.
