Anyone see it? It's like the Osbournes, but building choppers.....

Now chops aren't my thing, but to see their black widow creation, it's awesome!

Great programme. The bikes are amazing and Paul snr and Paul jnr are serious nutters! Did you see them reversing out the car park and running in to each other? LOL!

check out Jesse James @ www.westcoastchoppers.com. If we had better weather (and roads) in the UK, I'd consider one - but they're f'ing expensive as they're all handbuilt.... beautiful bikes though.

Anna

I've got a race-spec R1 in matt black, with yellow/black and red crowtree's - which is nice!!!

How's the blade coming along? I've got a mate who's got one identical to yours but with an akropovic can. Do you find that there's a flat spot in first around 3-4k revs. I had a ride on his, and when it's in first and rolling (say 10 mph), if you crack the throttle, the ECU takes a while to play catch up and adjust the fuelling...

Still think some custom chops look cool though!

they really are THE disfunctional family

The Dad is always moaning about the son who builds all the bikes (cant think of his name)the one with the talent and seems to do nothing himself all day but bitch and gripe

Annie(!)

If the car has been taxed by the dealer, then as long as the insurance is in place, you don't actually need the covernote in your paws to be legal - or do you need it to tax the badger.

You'll have fun driving the S2000, but you have to rev the pods off the motor to make it come alive - in a two stroke kinda way!

The medication is what's causing my interest in custom choppers (the bikes that is)

Annie,

The dealer is 100% correct. You are not being fed anything which doesn't taste nice (unless it's macdonalds)...

Give your postman a slap. Will they accept a faxed cover note, or is this getting into the realsm of making your own out of a sheet of A4 and some crayons....!?

You'll be in the car before too long hopefully!

Fergie.

Another Discovery program 'Great Biker Build-off' is also worth a look if you like the goings on at OCC
2 chopper builders build a bike in about 30 days than meet up and ride to a show, then the show goers vote on the best chopper and the winners goes onto the next round

I can't make head nor tail of the Discovery Channel schedule. They say there is new episodes every Monday but I saw one on a Wednesday I hadn't seen before and then again on Saturday.

Does anyone know what times the new episodes are on so I can make sure I see them all?

So are we due to see the final episode of the "Fire Bike" tonight? I hope so, as I'm interested to see how that tank comes out when painted.
