Default Chopper Challenge

Anybody check out Chopper Challenge on CMT?
&nbsp\\;
Builders look alright but the intro on the site is stupid.

I always tape it so I can blast past the non bike building parts. That cuts out at least half the show. Commercials take off another third. Theyve built some pretty cool bikes in 30 days. More talent than Ill ever have for building a nice ride. Good thing harley did it for me. Be interesting to see who wins the challenge.

The people all seem to be on downers on the first 2 shows I watched.
No one changes the tone of their voice the whole show. It's like..

John - "Well we jut got parts to build a bike, I think we will build a bike now. Ok Jimmy?"
Jimmy - "Yes John." (puts something on the bike)

We will be right back to Chopper Challenger right after this commercial break!

i think over the last few years we all have seen enough bikes built. with out all the screamin kicking doors and all the other B.S. that we have seen on another show that show's you dont need that crap to build a awsome bike.heck the bike is the show to me what a person can do with some parts . and some time and there talent.

Been watching it, entertaining, but the bike they built couple weeks ago was chit. They put a crotch rocket fairing on it and it looked very uncomfortable to ride. Alot of the program is extranious chit, skydiving? I record it so I can FF through commercials and the stupid stuff.

I tried watching a couple of times...way too much BSing and commercials, and way too little bike building, and besides I'm not much on the theme bike ****, to start with...

BUT, there aren't many bike shows on, so I watched it last night also. The one with the clear gas tank. Those dudes are weird, but at least it's a bike show. Same reason I will admit to watching OCC and American Thunder.They are both really stupid shows, but you get a few minutes of looking at bikes (and *****). Will Michelle ever learn how to read better?
Cheers!

It's one big commercial. Lot's and lot's of "product placement" And so far, all the bikes I've seen them build look really lame. Glass gas tank? What's up with that? Why not a plastic engine?
