Don't have Fox myself, but one of the guys from work has been taping it for me.
Now i'm hooked...can't get enough (fabricator coming out in me)
Watched 4 hours of it on Sunday after hiring some DVD's. Look beyond the reality TV crap and it's a good view.....:thumb

What is it?

I love it. Paul Sr is just like my old boss. Ineffectual and lazy, a great yeller, and a time waster who likes timeliness and cleanliness more than output.

Not to mention he's got the biggest arms and the coolest chops.

Yells at Paul Jnr for not going to meet the deadline, then goes and has a sleep.....arghhh to be the boss.

yeah, bugs me that everythign just bolts together like a giant mechano set but love the work they produce, definitely fun watching now that Mikey gets more of a showing.

Thing that shits me bout it is the thing how they are "fabricators" of "custom cycles"

yet "We are going to use our regular frame tank and fenders"

Bike assembly, not bike building is my 2c

otherwise i love it too.... mute it sometimes tho :P

Yeah Pauly Jnr does some great fabrication. I loved the Black Widow bike they did for the bike show.

Did anyone see the World Biker Buildoff they had on Discovery a couple of months ago. They had three teams, British (although their shop was in the US), American and Australian build custom bikes which would then be voted for by the public at a big bike show in the US.

The Aussie bike was amazing. You want hand fabricated, this was it. All the panels were made of hand shaped, polished Aluminium. It looked really special. It didn't win though sadly.

Yeah, watched American Chopper last week - had Foxtel in the unit we stayed in whilst we were away.... I want Foxtel now - so much interesting stuff about cars/bikes/mechanical stuff!

Best show on Fox.
I love the fights and the aggro that happens every week.Mikey and Vinnie are like innocent bystanders. Last weeks one was good but they need to lose the new guy. He's like a junior version of Senior but he's a knob. Just wish I could weld and fabricate like those guys.

I have gone out and bought the first series on dvd.

i met the Australian guys from the chopper build off show at the summernats.
nice bikes.

Stanley ·

I think Vinnie is the unsung hero...his work and ideas on the "Vinnie/Mikey bike" was pretty cool.
Single sided swing arm etc...pitty it ended up being rushed

My wife and I love the show and never miss it!
