Hey Bike Fans...

[invadertoast]

I don't know if anybody here is a fan of American Chopper, but they unveiled a new bike today in Boston. Seeing as it was a 20 minute walk from school, and we'll be learning about custom paint come next year, we took a walking field trip. Here's a sneak preview of the Gillette Bike.



I know I can't stand the show, and I don't really like the bikes they build either... but hey, I thought some of you might like to see it The show airs sometime in April, you might see my class in the background somewhere. We won't stand out though, I don't think anybody was cheering, lol

SWEET BIKES!

You mean you don't appreciate those bikes? Do you know how much hard work goes into those? I would love to have one of those!

Don't get me wrong, I would take a fat boy any day, but those are one of a kind. The bikes that millionares buy and just show off. ahhh cant wait till im one of those people....

if it was me i would buy from occ or arlen ness over hurly anyday just for the fact that they build there bikes buy hand and they are nicer

OCC... like the show, they're good guys & funny as hell, but I don't like the bikes that much cept for a select few (Fire Bike of course & a couple others)... With the exception of a few bikes they've put out it seems to me that those guys are gettin closer & closer to being total cookie cutter bike assemblers but still be considered "bike builders"... And don't get me started on Harley D.

Now Indian Larry & the likes of him, THOSE guys put out some SICK bikes. Oh man, and the Confederate Hellcat - they're not custom one-offs, but they're absolutely incredible. the engineering in them is one of a kind.

arlen ness.... awesome bikes but he uses ugly colors most of the time.

i was hoping this was gonna be a thread about riders on this forum.... i think i'm the only one

Don't get me wrong, I know a lot of hard work goes into making those bikes, and I guess they have made some decent ones... they're just not my style. The show itself has just become so scripted, I stopped watching when it started to be more arguing than bike building.

Oh, and sorry Oreo, didn't mean to get your hopes up

"We couldn't think for ourselves with these cameras all over so ... you know ... we started reading off of cue cards .... I think the cue cards give the show ... you know ... that little extra something that it was missing"

I could be a darn writer on that show I tell ya!!
