It's been awhile since I've writen about one of my favorite shows American Chopper on TLC and that's for good reason, the show seems to have taken a turn in my eyes and not for the better. I remember watching the original episodes that my family has on DVD and what a difference...Right now it's more about fighting within the staff (not just Sr. and Jr.), theme bikes for corporate sponsors like a p
(Credit: Autoblog Posting and Gallery)I had first say a photo of this chopper a couple weeks ago when the IRL rolled into Iowa for there first race at the Iowa Speedway that was designed by Rusty Wallace. I had heard Paul Jr. say that this was the first E85 chopper they built, but I remember back to the Liberty Bike, that bike was to be an alternative fuels namely E85 or just Ethonal too. The company that was building the carb was to be built it to run on gasoline and Ethonal... I don't remember if they did or not.Looking ahead to season 5, this OCC E85 chopper is to be one of the episodes on the list towards the end of the year, not a bad look, as always I will be interested in seeing the this one just like everyone researched, designed and built, not to mention unvealed. See Yeah!
(Image and article credit: Go Fast Energy Drink Website)On this latest episode, this was the second of a double built basically designed & built on by Paul Sr. with his crew, its the Go Fast Energy Drink Chopper that features a little something different, a gas tank that looks like the jet pack the owner flies around with.In fact at the unveiling in Las Vegas, the owner fluw-in with his jet pack and had the chopper helicoptered in on top of the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino. Interesting site, I would have loved to see that in person.This chopper is alont different and the way it was shown on the show, it was designed in less than 1 hour by Paul Sr., good looking, its more geared towards Paul Sr's Old School look bikes.See Yeah!
NAMM 2007 Originally uploaded by Tristen.Pelton. I always enjoy blogging about one of my favorite television show, American Chopper. On this latest episode, this was the first of a double built, the Peavy-themed chopper that OCC built with a special OCC guitar built by Peavy.Interesting chopper, you can hookup the attached guitar to controls on the otherside mounted on the oil tank and play on with the amp that looks like a rear taillight.I was thinking something different for the design of this chopper, more like the miller welder chopper with the trailer, put a big amp with attached guitar on the trailerm, but like I said interesting.See Yeah!
OCC HP bike Originally uploaded by mhamoran. This is a picture of Orange County Chopper's lastest bike, the HP Chopper that features (the first that I know of) an HP GPS system on top of the gas tank, OCC's new headlight and cool paint job with blue pinstripping.Now thats technology. See Yeah!
Flow Chopper 3 Originally uploaded by Ella Lumpkins. This is a picture of Orange County Chopper's lastest bike, the Flowjet Chopper that features raised chrome flames on the gas tank and the flowjet logo carved into the rear fender.I have my favorites in choppers that OCC has created, but this one or a similer one should go into production. This chopper reminds me of the first cody project bike that was green with flake and raised chrome strips. See Yeah!
Its been a little while since I have featured one of my favorite weekly television shows "American Chopper" here, for the past couple of weeks, American Chopper has debuted three new choppers. The first two bikes is from the episode "Sr. vs. Jr." in building there next production bike, Paul Sr's is an Old School bike that features all off the shelve parts. Paul Jr's is a Web Themed bike like the Black Widow bike that features a custom 3D flowjet front and rear fender and a simple black and red paint scheme. The latest chopper, the Go Daddy.com bike that features a lime green and yellow paint scheme on an Indy Car Danica Patrick themed racing bike, both bikes are unique.My opinion, for the Sr vs Jr, I would purchased Paul Jr's Web Themed bike, I like the simple web theme, including the fact that the Black Widow is one of my favorite bikes next to the Jet Bike, Firebike, Lincoln bike and Shelby Bike. On Paul Sr's, my father likes this one with its simple paint scheme and all off the
