Have you seen the latest American Chopper? They are building a bike dedicated to Carroll Shelby.
I was watching it and thought back to previous threads on this forum when Banzaitoyota and others said that American Chopper did very little fabrication and just was putting together bikes.
Well, they answered your letters.
Every time they talked to Paul Senior about the bike he said how great it was to get back to fabricating a bike and doing a lot of metal work and that they had not done that in a long time and it felt good to get back to a bike that required a lot of fabrication.
Ya'll must have sent in your letters of complaint. I rally wonder if they had received complaints about it. It just seemed to fake, they way he was talking.
It seems to me that the only guy on that show that does any fabrication at all is Rick. He is fabricating a gas tank for this bike that will look like the head of a cobra snake and he is doing it from a sheet of metal. He is about the only one on the show that can work with the metal. the other guys just bolt things together.

Pauly if you ask me, I 'd take one Wonderwomen bike with exhaust out the *****,
the second would have to be a Michal Jackson style, you know kinda like an Icecream truck with the Kaliape music.
But you know sometimes pop get's upset cause you take so long so just put Mikey's mo-ped with some Icecream cooler shaped saddle bags and candycane stripe the frame.
In the end you'll finish just in time for the Exotic Erotic biker build off ...by a nuts hair.
(My embellishment of what they would narrate to the camera)
