fraid not kevin,
best "soap" on telly, but they do produce some stunning bikes,especially liked the "black widow" but wasn't the colour scheme the wrong way round?(should of been black-on-red?).

I haven't had a chance to watch the series but I did see an hour long program on them where they were getting a bike ready for a major show. I just marvelled at the skill of some of the craftsmen.

The Black Widow was very well done and, as glowpug said, the craftsmanship and attention to detail is amazing.
My favourite has been the 9/11 bike. That custom built carburettor was unbelievable.
For those who haven't seen the prog. It's a 'Reality' TV show about a family business in NY that design and build choppers. For anyone with even the slightest interest in bikes, it's a don't miss just to see the end result, even if the patriarch can be a bit annoying.

It's about the only thing I bother watching. Utter class.

It's a different planet. I watched it for the first time this week, but unfortunately fell asleep before the end. No reflection on the programme, I was tired.
That man could carry a HD under each arm. Would anyone risk incurring the displeasure of the boss? I thought he needed to employ someone else to man the phones & run the business and confine himself to building bikes. Maybe the beuraucrats were kept out of camera shot, awaiting the flood of orders once the series was aired.
The Yanks get 'American Chopper' and we get 'Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares'. The world just isn't fair.
