Will the chopper madness ever end?

Specifically American Chopper.  They're making a Gander Mountain bike tonight.   :-?

This stuff has been on TV for the last five years.  At least the nuts Teutel have progressed to fighting, then having a crying jag.

One would think that the move from Discovery to TLC would have started the road towards death, but they seem to get bigger and bigger.  All for some cookie cutter 'theme' bikes.  :-/

used to love watchin ac couple years ago it but ever since then i could car less

I'm with you Burley. I tried to watch this the other night and I don't think Paul or Pauley EVER touched a bike. Stick a fork in this show, it's DONE!!!

I did, however, watch a VERY entertaining Modern Marvels tonight on "The Pig".    Am I weird for that?

I liked this show when it first came out, then it just got ridiculous. There use to be show on for awhile that I liked called Southern Chopper or Southern Steel. I not sure which. It had the guys from Milwaukee Iron, I believe. They were based in Lynchburg, VA. Those guys were pretty funny. I also like the biker build off. I really like the bikes that that Russell Mitchell form Exile Bikes builds.

I will admit the show is getting a little old. Same bike just differnt paint. I cant belive that theres all them shows about people getting tattos.

Custom built mega-thousand dollar motorcycles WITHOUT real Harley Davidson engines are NOT CHOPPERS as far as I'm concerned. I've owned and ridden Knuckleheads, Panheads, Flatheads, and Shovehead CHOPPERS in the past. They WERE real HDs, not imitation 200 cubic inch knockoffs. A real "chopper" is nothing more than a stripped down stock HD with maybe a bobbed rear fender. Geez, rent and watch "The Wild Angles" with Peter Fonda and Nancy Sinatra and Bruce Dern if you wanna see some real choppers ("Easy Rider" will do in a pinch:o)

I never was a big fan.  

I really became a hater though when American Chopper cologne and other crap started popping up at all the stores.   :

That show should be tossed in the trash alone with all the other reality shows that now flood the tube.

Neilison rating families need to get a life, them inbreds is what keeps these programs on the air

You would get along well with my brother,lol.

He builds custom bikes.  His favorite motor to use is the Buell 101.  All the balls and is still a HD motor

I hear you on that, way to much of that reality TV stuff.

SCRIPTED "Reality Shows"?? Come on now. They're ALMOST all a JOKE. I DO like "Dancing With the Stars". Those contestants HAVE to perform the dances they learned LIVE, even though they are choreographed by their professional partner, THEY still must learn the steps and perform the dances. One of, if not THE, best "reality shows" on television. IMO:o)

I thought that was the definition of a "bobber."

[KYbass1276]

When is the Bass Resource bike going to be built

[skillet]

 IMHO Chopper and Bobber are pretty much the same thing. Most if not all of the scooters built on TV would be called "custom"...

Yes, I'm really tired of reality TV.  Last year, a teacher from our school district was on "Wifeswap".  She and her husband are in the salvage business and live on the wrecking yard.  They even came in and filmed my daughter and other teacher's kids in her computer classroom.  They never used ANY of that footage.  The family has three very polite boys who I've had in my Science classroom.  On the show they were made out to be very rude and inconsiderate.  Almost ALL of the show was staged.  What a crock!  I quit watching it after that.

[FishTank]

I too am tired of these shows.  I decided to tune them out and look elsewhere for entertainment.  Like fishing and BR.    ;D
