American Chopper and Strike Ten
« on: August 10, 2008, 12:51:17 AM »
Did anyone recently see the episode (season 5, episode 19) they did with the Strike Ten Entertainment bike? At least bowling got a little more TV exposure. I thought Danny Wiseman seem pretty subdued for Danny Wiseman but at least they didn't trash the sport of bowling like everyone else does.

Quote from Strike Ten:

"The Teutuls, Orange County Choppers and stars of Discovery Channel & The
Learning Channel's "American Chopper" Highlight International Bowl Expo 2008

ARLINGTON, Texas - Members of the famous Teutul family will be attending International Bowl Expo and roaring into the General
Session with bowling's newest featured motorcycle - "The Strikebike" at International Bowl Expo 2008 (IBE 2008) General Session to be
held in Orlando Florida, according to the Bowling Proprietors' Association of America (BPAA), organizers of IBE 2008. The General
Session scheduled for 8 - 10 a.m. Wednesday, June 25th at the Rosen Shingle Creek Hotel and Resort.
The Teutuls established their primary business in 1999 in Orange County, New York and have built bikes for some of the biggest names
in corporate America including Microsoft, Lincoln, Caterpillar, US Army and Air Force and many more. They have been the center of an
adoring fan base and received outstanding national media coverage, while consistently being rated as one the top-rated shows on
Discovery Channel and The Learning Channel since the show's inception.
The Teutuls are in the process of building two bowling theme custom motorcycles. One of the bikes will be given away as the grand prize
in a special promotion in the fall of 2008. The construction of the bikes as well as the presentation at International Bowl Expo's General
Session is scheduled to be filmed for future airings on The Learning Channel. The Teutuls' creations are always unique so you don't want
to miss this fun and exciting event."

Call it sour grapes if you want, but I think their bikes are just plain ugly.

I saw the episode. I think the bike was ok. If it was not for the paint job it would have been really bad. The paint job is what made the bike. There were a few things that made it stand out like the gas tank but nothing to really saw WOW at.
