I am one of those Discovery channel freaks that just love watching shows about science or mechanics. American Chopper takes care of the mechanics side to great effect. The show is in essence about building custom bikes and the craftsmanship and skill given to building the bikes is great.
The show revolves around the Teutul family who own a custom bike shop called Orange County Choppers. The success of the show has meant that the business has expanded over the years and more elaborate machinery has allowed the production of some stunning bikes.
The heated arguments between family members may be getting a bit tired as the show goes on and some of the theme bikes are starting to look tacky but every once in a while, if all the stars are aligned, they come through with a winner.
The best part about the programme is watching the craftsmen go about their work, such as the graphic artists who paint and decorate the tank and fenders for each bike.
If you're into mechanics, motorbikes or building then this show is for you.
