American Chopper
I LOVE this show. If you knew me you would wonder what the hell is wrong with me but I just love this show.

I stumbled on it once I always check the discovery and history channel for good programs and I came on OCC once.

It's on now and it's a new episode. They are building a bike for Lance Armstrong.

When I want a break from the political I watch American chopper. My favorite character is the Old Man. I love the way he screams and shouts. He reminds me of my Dad. All bark no bite.

They are probably republicans but I don't care. It entertains me.

2. I'm glad
I'm not the only DU'er that likes the show. I hesitated to post this because I am a bit embarrassed that I like the show but I do I do I do.

My favorite bike is the Firefighter bike. What a beautiful bike. Paul Jr. is a really talented guy. Great designer.

3. I'm glad they finally started showing new bikes
and that we aren't seeing mini-hitler.

4. I'm always amazed at people who can create with their hands.
It's a talent I do not have. The interpersonal stuff doesn't interest me as much as the actual work on the bikes.

I like all those shows where something is built from scratch.

Oh by the way, any fans of "Overhaulin'" can submit me to get a car made over. I've got a project for them. ;-)

5. I love it too...and I have no idea why.
:shrug: I am not a motorcycle fan. But I love this show. The last time I was in the hospital, they had a marathon of it on...and I spent an entire day just laying there watching it. :hi:

6. I know nothing about motorcycles
and I think I've been on one a total of 3 times in my 42 years on the planet but these bikes are so cool. I saw the marathon too ! I was looking forward to it for weeks and stayed in bed all day and ate junk food and indulged myself with this show.

American Chopper and Monster House. Two great shows.

8. Another silly thing I'll admit to...I'm addicted to the World Series of
Poker. Don't ask me why. I don't even know how to play and I always end up calling it Texas two step instead of Texas hold em...which makes Mr Grumpy laugh. :)

10. I love that show!
Dunno why--but it is a hoot. I kinda like Junkyard Wars too. I'm not sure what that says about me--but yeah--I actually like both of those shows and look for them on the schedule.

Edited on Mon Sep-27-04 10:16 PM by Twillig
my dad. The show's a hoot. Poor Vinnie.

I know sweet-FA about choppers, but I know what I like to look at. I watched an episode of Biker build off over the holidays and fell in love with the bike Indian Larry built. I guess I like the 'ape hanger' handle bars. I always wanted a stingray as a kid.



RIP
