Where was Miley for the Divek(sp) unvail? WTF I think this is the first time I didnt see him at an unvail. I am sure others were dissapointed too.
The new shop looks like crap, its too small and they made too much room for comsumer garbage like a resterant? In a bike shop? All the extras are going to lead to their downfall, I hope Mikey doesnt go MIA or they show will be done, that is, unless they hire some superman that can do it all and be funny as hell and retarded at the same time.
I miss the bike building days, its seems like now ammerican chopper is one big long commercial for some other company that they are building the bike for.
You know, that commercial part just came to me as I was typing this, like BOOM, and it was there and after thinking about it a couple seconds thats what it is. Its one big commercial. Gone are the days of bike building, now its feild trips and commercials for crap no one cares about, exterior building insulation? Whoop de doo...
Who the hell cares were Mikey was? He probably got lost on the way to the reveil. Mikey's a lot like the kid that lives next door to me with Downs Syndrome. If they don't keep a leash on him out in public he just wanders off and gets lost.
American Chopper has never been a show strictly about bike building. It's a show about a disfunctional family who happen to build bikes. Just as OCC is not about motorcycles. But more about marketing their name. I'm just guessing here. But I would bet that the majority of OCC's income comes from tee shirt, pez dispenser and toilet paper sales than motorcyles. I will admit when it comes to selling their name they very good. Almost as good as Harley Davidson....who is hands down the king when it comes to marketing and product placement.
I can't believe you couldn't see it until now either. It's basically been an informercial for two years now. I keep waiting for them to build a Ron Popeil tribute bike and sell it FOR JUST $9.99!!!!! BUT WAIT...THERE'S MORE!! IF YOU BUY NOW, ALONG WITH THE BIKE, YOU ALSO GET MIKEY THE SIMP!!! DON'T WAIT..CALL NOW!!!
And Mikey was never funny and I doubt anyone was disappointed he wasn't there. Truthfully, the people at the unveiling looked about as excited as people waiting to see the dentist.

LOL, Ron Popeil tribute bike. Just think of all the stuff Paul Jr could tack to the frame. The whole bike's purpose could be for preparing and cooking a meal.
