I like this show but it does seem a bit set up to me.

Love the bikes they make but I gotta wonder how much of it is actually real.

That is the same thing I say.  A lot of the fights, and  arguments seem very fake to me.  Many things they do I can tell they do it cuz they are on tv, nothing else.

Yeah, the fights seem very staged.  But, still entertaining in my opinion. When was the last time you saw a real fight?
Posted:  06 Apr 2007 17:21
Less than a year ago.  An very often before that to be honest.

Well now I'm interested.  Where were you and what were the fights about (if you don't mind my asking).

I saw a fight at a bar once.  This guy thought another guy tripped him on purpose even though it seemed like he didn't.  I think he had too much to drink. They got kicked out eventually.

Ive never seen american chopper. Is it on the speed channel, if so when?

It was on Discovery and now on TLC.  It was alright but it became like a darn soap opera for a while...

Hey guys! I have heard of American Chopper but never seen it. I am more into the Orange County Choppers.

Same people!  Maybe different show name around your parts?!

Duck,
I agree with you. I love the bikes but it seems a bit overly dramatic for me to believe it's 100% real.

I like the bikes but I don't like their maintenance/building measures.  I think they are shady in many things they do.  At least for the pricetag on those things

I was wondering about that paperclip. But then when it comes to building things I've a novice so I'm not 100% on what stuff costs. But some of the prices seemed high. Maybe there is a stiff markup because it was built on the air?

I dunno.  Their prices weren't too steep at first, but they have gone up.  And that's fine considering their fame, but when you have to look around and slap things on a bike just to make it look worth the pricetag, is not cool.

Matt Hotch charges an arm and a leg for his bikes.  But  you get high quality merchandise.

Most of their bikes LOOK cool, but I prefer high quality and I'm certainly not going to pay more for THEIR fame! Please, it's because of people like me that they have any fame at all. I should get a discount!
