Show Business

[Pete Gagan]

Hi All:
Just to show that there is a life after motorcycle politics, I've started into show business at 68 years of age. Take a look at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t93QlgBu4Is for a little preview. I think you may have to type it in. It's a pilot for a possible new series entitled "Pete's Garage", maybe airing next year sometime. Look out, American Chopper, you may have competition! It's all about old bikes, naturally, and will feature AMCA members, machines, and events, along with others. The real thing is in wide screen high definition.

Actually, you just have to click on it.

Pete, the thing that made Orange County Choppers so initially popular was the rancor between Paul Sr. and Paul Jr. Maybe you can get Barry Brown, or Mark Woodstock to appear on your show to kick it off. Just kidding. I really enjoyed the "You Tube" clip and I'll deffinately be looking for it on television and tell my non-motorcycle friends.

Wow Pete, I was just talking about something like this on a Henderson thread! This is awesome! Look out American Chopper is right! I feel like I'm fairly informed on the Roper now! All I can say is keep 'em coming! I look forward to the next installment!

Absolutely amazing Pete.
I've been in awe at your bike collection for years, but to see you actually take the machine out and ride it was fantastic.
I've added the clip to my You Tube favorites, and REALLY look forward to any follow ups you will post. How about your beautiful blue Hendee machine?
If those blokes from OCC can get air time, then you should be able to on Discovery or History Channel. I only wish!

Best wishes.

Ken.

Wow ! Now That's Entertainment , Well Done Lads

Wow Pete, What are you building with the OHC X on the stand?

[Barry Brown]

Pete's got a pretty good sense of humour and that looks like a mock up of one of his ohc Ex engines in a Norton Commano frame, but then again maybe Pete is losing it and it's a for real project, he said the Ex out 60 horses so that's more than a Commando. If so ,why not use the proverbial Featherbed as in Norvin ?

Hey Pete,when you're famous,don't forget that I had dinner with you and the other big shots in Florida 2006.Johnny-Milw.

[Pete Gagan]

The OHC Ex in the strange frame is a test bed to go AHRMA racing with. Will it beat a Ducati? Stay tuned. Not with me on it, but Paul Brodie. It's lighter and better than a Norton frame. Several of us up here have "lost it".
If I do get famous, which is doubtful, I'll certainly remeber my friends!

I had somebody send the youtube link to me a week ago. I searched to see if it was a TV show yet. What's the status on your TV show project, Pete? I thought the premise was excellent and you'd have me as a dedicated viewer for sure. Any bites for one of the channels to pick this up as a regular show? Even if you did one motorcycle brand per show and did the whole history thing, racing, milestones, etc it would be a great show, even for non-bike types. There are a lot of people out there who love history in any form.
