"American Pickers" fans

[Taylor]

Anyone been watching the new show,

American Pickers - History.com

Love the show, real down to earth guys..


Know here is the cool part, there shop is about 15 minutes from me.

Frank Fritz, the little guy, is one of my old-step-dads best friend,

frank actually taught me how to ride dirt bikes , he has been a family friend now for years, he is a big time motorcycle guy, he owns over 20 bikes, from kawis to indians and everything in between, bmw k-1, old harleys, mopeds

Not a fan of antique's but this show is really cool and wanted people that have not seen it to give it a chance.

p.s. yes Frank is a nerd in real life too

[badazgtp]

I've caught it a couple times. Not a bad show.

 

[chrisjp]

guys talk about it at work all the time

 

[rc51ny]

I sa it one time and thought it was pretty cool. Now, it's my second favorite show---right after "COPS"!

 

[macon454]

I watch it every chance i get, i like it.

I like pawn stars much better, those pickers seem like thieves to me.
The pawn shop fellows rip people off, its a pawn shop that is to be expected.
The pickers seem to look for people to swindle and cheat.
It should be called "2 weasels in a crappy van robbing old people."

 

[Black Sheep]

Yeah, I heard about that at work too. I'll check it out.

 

[teamorion22]

it's a cool show.

 

[Fastfrog007]

Sometimes I like it, other time it just seems weird. I do watch it either way tho

 

[BIG GUY]

Looks like a good show to watch. Thanks for letting us all know about it.

 

[PaceMaster]

It's fun to watch... but does not seem right when they show the picked price and actual worth.. seems the people they bought from would be offended..
It's cool though when they find a very old Motorcycle.....plus the carny car ride was a cool find.

 

[bowwow]

I like when they run into people that know what their stuff is worth.

 

[S-R Racing]

That would explain his more than average knowledge of motorcycles, on several episodes, they run across old bikes and he really seems to know his stuff. Great show, they do lots of running though out the midwest which is also quite entertaining to see them in much of what is basicly our backyard

 

[02spool]

Also a fan!

 

[GSXcite]

I enjoy that show and the pawn shop in Las Vegas. The pickers shop is in Pleasant Valley, Ia. right?

 

[Taylor]

Acutally there shop is in LeClaire, which is right next to pleasant valley,

 

[TIMMYDUCK]

Tell the little guy that likes the oil cans I will part for this one for 30 dollars plus actual shipping.

I have photos of my Grandfather using it and Govenor Rockfeller of New York to his side from 1935 in Albany , NY.

P.S. Always stored inside has not been used in 45 years. Soild no holes rust or mouse droppings.

 

[greensleeves]

I havent been to Leclaire but my dad grew up in Long Grover where Buffalo Bill's little brother is buried. I grew up in Muscatine so its cool to see stuff from up home on TV.
