American Chopper - Vinnie

Such a shame Vinnie is leaving. He definatly was the best guy on the show as well as Rick. I've watched the show since the first series and have noticed that it has become more about what the Tuetels are doing rather than the bikes, which is such a shame.

Although its true that OCC has basically been made by the show, dont forget the Paul sr owns Orange County Ironworks, which was already a well established business. Interestingly, they supply some of the raw materials for Boyd Coddingtons hotrods.

I don't watch Southern Chopper, never really got into it like American Chopper. I occasionally watch American Hotrod if i think I can deal with Boyd Coddington lol.
 
I used to enjoy American Chopper, certainly won't be the same without Vinnie. I've not watched it since last summer really, has it went downhill then? And to above American Hotrod was sometimes entertaining!
 
It sucks, but it's for the best.

I couldn't see myself working for or with the Teutul family, with the exception of Mikey.

Shame Rick hasn't gone with Cody and Vinnie, they make a great team.
 
Never actually caught any recent episodes of AC....Any time i do catch it, it's the Fire Bike being built again and again.......Damn repeats! :/

Personally think Rick is the best but sad to see Vinnie leave :(

American Hotrod?....Yes, Boyd is a nob!....His baldy little foreman needs a slap!....It's a really good show though :D
 
The Show where he leaves airs on Discovery in the UK next Monday at 21:00hrs. It is during the bike build for the Iowa farmer’s bureau.

I watched the first episode last night and there was a tense atmosphere between him and jr
 
I think he has been around long enough to establish his own name/bikes/show. Natural progression if you ask me. I like the show but there's not enough of the technical side to hold me for long, I just like seeing the bikes.
Lets hope he sets a show up showing more technical detail, fabricating & actual problem solving type bike building.
 
Love the show, it makes me want my bike licence badly (bad idea). American Hot rod is ok in small doses. Boyd is a knob, I like to think Karma got him and saddled him with his ex-wife though.
 
I didn't realise other people watched this :)

It was a good show, but damn.. the pace is soooooooo slow.

You basically see the chassis in 1 episode and the final product in the second one.

A lot of the actual fabrication/creation is lost amongst the "Trips to go clay shooting, or destruction derby" poop and the stuff you did see was basically footage of Rick and Vinnie picking up Junior's mess because he never showed up.. or came in 3 hrs later.

American Hotrod is good, but they're just not consistent enough to show the episodes in the correct order.. one minute you'll see "Lee" and "Al" and the next episode is like 3 years later.. I suspose that's down to the TV network more than anything.
 
Just watched the first part of the ethanol bike build and you can tell Vinnie is losing patience.

Cant stand Jason Pool either the lad that designs them on the pc,irritating...
 
People posting about Boyd Connington in American Hotrod, do you know hes dead ? Just wondering really.

I prefer American Chopper as Boyd does always come across as a tool and at least the Teutils seem to always try and make up and get along.
