American Chopper: Senior vs Junior – Paul Jr. Starts a bike
Sponsored Ads
You may recall that in my last post on the whole OCC saga Episode Two Senior vs Junior, I said that a real businessman wouldn’t wait for clients, he would just start building bikes. At the end of last night’s Episode, Paulie announces to the rest of the Paul Jr. designs crew that they are going to build a shop bike. As you might have guessed it would become one of the two bikes that were unveiled at Sturgis.
Meanwhile Orange County Choppers builds a bike for Esab welders and I noticed that Paul Jr. is using Lincoln welders when I visited his online clothing store, which is all his website currently is. OK both bikes have been revealed, why wouldn’t you immediately put photos of the builds on your website? I don’t know, probably some deal with TLC.

The rest of this episode centered around the now famous court case of Paul Sr suing Paul Jr to get his 20% of the business back. I think the entire coverage of the chopper build couldn’t have been more than 5 minutes, and shown absolutely nothing of final assembly. I really think that the producers of American Chopper are missing the mark here: the reason the ratings fell the last time around was too much focus on the personal lives and not enough on the bikes. Now we have an entire show devoted to their personal feud.
I’m giving it 6 episodes tops. Hope I’m wrong.

Choppers At Thunder In The Valley

Well once again I took my camera on a trip to Johnstown and got so caught up at the sheer spectacle of it all that I forgot to take many photos of choppers. Oddly enough, in spite of a record crowd there were very few true custom bikes in attendance at all, and I did not in my short time there even see any builders with displays. Most of the bikers in attendance were riding touring bikes, quite a switch from when I first started attending this event back in 2005 and it seemed that everywhere you turn, there were custom bikes.
I did manage to spot one lone chopper sitting by itself from Death Row Choppers. Maybe if we had stayed longer I would have gotten few more pics, but as I cruised the sidewalks I really didn’t see much worth photographing.
