Flashbacks of American Choppers
When the big family blowout occurred at Orange County Choppers everyone went their separate ways. Vinnie and Cody started their own custom motorcycle fabrication shop called V-Force Customs. Mikey has been selling some art online. Paul Jr. started his own design company, Paul Jr. Designs and this is where you can find Mikey’s masterpieces. Everyone seems to be doing very well in their new ventures and word on the streets is that Paul Jr. Designs inked a deal with Bikers Choice to design a line of parts and accessories. The company is building a bike with the new parts for Sturgis next month. If you are taking the ride to Sturgis and would like to see the new line you can find it at the J&P Cycles complex.
But, where are the flashbacks coming from? TLC will be airing a new show soon called “American Chopper: Senior vs. Junior”. Details are sketchy so watch the television listings coming soon. One think that struck me is that Vinnie is rumored to be participating on the Jr. team which brings me to question what the status of Cody and V-Force Customs is. The original American Chopper started out great but then, in my opinion, went the way of television wrestling. When the arguments seemed to be staged for the benefit of ratings I started to lose interest in the show. It became less about motorcycles and more about the buck. So, does the title of the new series already tell us to expect more of that or will this go back to being about the best bike one can build? You will have to tune in later and decide on that answer for yourself.
