How shyte is the new series. It has went the way i feared, more about what they are doing than about the bikes.

Last episode was about paul an snr. break up and how he's opening a boutique and snt bringing a book out.

Pish - it used to be a really good show!

That's all.

Couldn't agree more.

American Chopper lost the plot after series two. It used to be about two blokes (and then a few blokes) building bikes. God knows what it's supposed to be about now...

He got pi$$ed off with paul jnr. giving him grif apparently.

I wonder how much Snr. is worth, and the brand as a whole?

Did he? Do you know what it's called?

I was watching it last night and having impure thoughts about jnr's other half.

I'm way behind the times.

I think the program went off the rails when they got that annoying theme tune for it and opened up their 'Global HQ'

It has to be said that this programme went down the crapper after the first series for me, but defo when the arguments took priority over the bikes. I stopped watching it just after they got joan jett and the blackfarts theme tune. Had a quick shufty the other night, but turned off pretty much straight away, but did say to OH i wonder where cody and vinnie went, so thanks, now i know!

V-Force customs which he set up with Cody.

I got a nice email from Vin after sending my best wishes when he set it up.

A 'straight up guy' I think they say.

I admire Paul Snr. for what he's created - Paul Jnr. is a spoiled, pig faced twunt, Mikey is a waste of space, the most remarkable of his kids are the ones you never hear about - Christian who runs his old steel business and his daughter (IIRC)

They left in 2007! I watch it a lot, but I am way behind the times

As for the new series... just watching an episode now, all about clarevoyants (sp.) looking for spirits and all sorts around the place.. junk! Yet to see a bike...
