Having been in love with choppers since I first saw Peter Fonda cruising down the road in "Easy Rider," I was quite shocked a couple of years ago when I was flipping channels on the TV and ran across the new Discovery Channel show entitled "American Chopper." These guys were building modern choppers and I started to drool. I fell instantly in love with the show and have not missed an episode (thank goodness for TIVO).
American Chopper At Full Throttle book has everything I was looking for in getting to know the OCC family better and to get a little closer to the bikes. Even though a viewer gets to know each bike intimately as they watch a show, now I have the ability, with this book on my coffee table, to check out these awesome bikes any time I want. I love this book and it is a must have to all that love the show, or just enjoy a sweet ride. My only disappointment was in the section about the Guys. To me, Rick is a big part of the show. His section was a piddly five short paragraphs. I would have loved to learn more about him.
Overall, American Chopper At Full Throttle is a wonderful book and should not be missed by anyone who watches the show. It is high octane entertainment!
This was given yo me as I am a rider. I only watched the show a handful of times. Since it is a gift I will indulge. So far I enjoyed the background history of the motorcycle.
