They just aired the theme bike for the Eragon movie. It would seem that all of the motor head shows are moving over to TLC-American Hot Rod is also moving to TLC in January.

Thanks for the heads-up. My TiVo is still showing upcoming shows on Discovery, so I'm leaving leaving both season passes for now since it's not clear which channel will be showing the new first run episodes. Better safe than sorry.

I really enjoyed this show when they used to just make the best bikes they could make. Basically before Junior started following his "vision" on these things.

Joan Jett looks great and kicks ass in the commercials.

Ten years ago my family stayed in a hotel room next to Joan Jett for a few days. One morning she was at breakfast with a skinny, heavily tatooed man with spiked hair. My son (about 4 at the time) said "Dad, look at the hair on the guy with all the tatoos...the one sitting next to the little old man." Joan Jett was creepy to look at in person, and that was ten years ago.

Hmmm. I saw her up close about a year ago and thought she looked really good. Perhaps he saw her without makeup

Here's the vid:

Of that, there is no doubt. Her tiny size and extremely short bleached hair at the time was not helping things either.

Anyone still watch American Chopper?

so Jr and Sr are finally starting to get a father/son relationship going again and they immediately decide to start building production bikes together?

either the whole fight thing was faked for the show or they're dumber than they sometimes seem

Re: Anyone still watch American Chopper?

I don't think it was a sudden thing. It seems that each episode covers at least a month or so the way it comes across. The most recent episode included Hurricane Sandy and the aftermath, and the whole design process and then production of PJD's new shirts. Both of those are easily 2 weeks if not more and they were about halfway into the show.

I do think they're idiots for trying to start another business together. It's great that their relationship is starting to be a good one again, but business wise, there's just going to be too many problems.

Re: Anyone still watch American Chopper?

Lol, I'm surprised Jr. even allowed the talk of business after the stupid shit they put themselves through. Anyway, who cares at this point, since the show is getting canned again.

Re: Anyone still watch American Chopper?

I still watch it, so I'm sorry it's getting cancelled. I think after last night's episode, Jr. is reconsidering the business with Sr., especially after how badly he treated Vinny. They might not have a choice in the matter though, with the show ending. I just don't see how they can both stay in business without the show.

Re: Anyone still watch American Chopper?

I still watch it but just for the drama, i fast forward a through all the building. Maybe him and his dad thought the new bike together would keep the show on a bit longer, since I'm sure they have to realize they won't be in buisiness for very long after the show ends. Especially jr, does he even do customer bikes? And if he has a design company why did he hire people to design shirts for pjd? And man that cafe is gonna go under quick. I didn't think it would last even with the show, now I can't imagine how it would stay open.

Re: Anyone still watch American Chopper?

FWIW there is a new show called "Orange County Choppers" on CMT. I think the first episode already aired. Apparently it only involves Paul Sr and his shop.
