| | Posted : 07 Apr 2011 - 10:41 Post title : Paul Junior Designs/ American Chopper | | | Sitting here watching American Chopper: Senior Vs Junior the first episode in a new series, it would appear Paul Jnr has a Silver Thunderbird.
They are interviewing a kid called Odie who works for P.J.Designs and in the background is the silver bird.
I know it's not really news worthy, but I got a little excited when I saw it.

No front brake and ape hangers will be the norm. All topped off with some spikey type wheels and dashed with 'puke yellow' paint.
Say goodby to what was a nice Bird.
I could be wrong - they have done some nice work.

Not only do they create utter horrors but they cant even weld propperly obviously.
The old man is a twat the fat one with the iq of 2 is sad and the one that does the work obviousely needs some welding lessons.
We need to get a possy together to go there and rescue the poor Bird before it is tortured.

I'm sure many of the people featured in these realty shows are nothing like what you see portrayed, unless of course fame goes to their heads
So much obvious scripting in Orange County Choppers for instance.
Personally I would like to see more on the techniques used, and not the personalities.
It's amazing to see how a mudguard can be fabricated from a sheet of steel on an English Wheel.

Nothing wrong with that if you like it. I don't, but if i did i'd want to see it with a bird engine. It will be interesting to see what they do with it. Or who knows, maybe it's his personal bike and he likes riding a bike that isn't like a stoned runway model in ultra high heels.
