Fixing an American Chopper (Continued)

The guy who bought an American Chopper bike and is trying to fix it up, meets and hangs out with Paul Sr.  


I think I've fallen into a soap opera. I started watching a video, and that video led to another video, then it became a series and now it's spinning off a new series... It's too much! It's still enjoyable but I may have to cut these off at some point. But I don't know, I do still have American Chopper brain-rot, after all.

Fixing an American Chopper (Continued)

 This is a continuation of a previous post where a guy is trying to get an OCC Bike in working order.

I'll give a heads-up, I don't like this video, I think it's pretty lame but we have a series going and I don't want to drop the ball for anyone interested.

This kind of back-and-forth reaction debate doesn't work here. You don't use the term "straw man argument" in a garage. Paul Sr. did not get to where he is by listening to what people say and considering it with an open mind. Paul Sr. does two things: he gets offended and yells at people - that's it.

Oh well. I trust the next episode will be better.

This is very motorcyle-mechanic-heavy. If you're not into that, you can skip it. I get a strange enjoyment from it, probably because I have "American Chopper" brain rot.

Guy Buys an American Chopper Bike

 A dude bought a decades old OCC bike, one made on the show "American Choppers." It's extremely overpowered and has rarely been run. This is a series where he tries to fix it up into working order.

As a weirdo "American Chopper" fan, I like that the form and content of this video echoes that show, very nostalgic.

For the video below, skip to 22:23.

And apparently this is an ongoing saga for which we have to wait for new videos.

3 miles per tank? Holy cow.

For the sake of accurate information, I tried to lookup this episode and watch the bike being built. As far as I can tell, this is from "Senior vs. Junior" Season 1 Episode 6. But looking for that episode, and other episodes, it looks like there is no place to watch "American Chopper" - pay streaming sites as well as free, it's nowhere. I'll grant that I may be the only person looking this up in 2024 but I'm very surprised and don't know how to explain that.

Not necessarily this guy but there are too many drama queens on the internet flipping out that OCC bikes are unreliable. Of course the themed bikes were commercials. Of course they were meant to be looked at rather than driven. Come on.
