[Vwdiesel] american choppers???

[Erik Lane]

yes, i agree that the bickering gets really old. but
those guys manage to turn out some AMAZING bikes.
behind all that bickering they've got some real
skills.

i hardly ever watch it, mainly cause of the bickering,
but i came in one night a couple days ago with about
15 min left on the show and they were building a
christmas bike. it had lights all over it, candy cane
wheels, antlers on the handlebars etc. they went all
out on it, and it was gorgeous. then they went to some
kind of kids shelter and gave out tons of presents
dressed as santa and an elf. they were so good about
everything! i almost thought he was gonna cry he was
touched about how the kids loved everything so much
and that was the true meaning of xmas to him.

i sure wish they would concentrate on watching them
build the bike rather than argue about it. imagine how
amazing watching THAT show would be!
