![Whitney Houston -- Prescription Drugs Found ... Possible Drowning [Exclusive Photo Update]](http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/02/12/0211-hero-whitney2-248x127.jpg)
Former "American Chopper" star Cody Connelly claims the show owes him nearly a quarter of a million dollars -- and one custom made motorcycle too.
Connelly left the show in 2007, but according to a New York lawsuit we just found, he was only paid for about a third of the episodes in which he appeared.
Connelly also claims he was given a bike called the "Old School Chopper" on one episode ... but never actually received the bike.
He's wants $250,000 in damages.

Hey Cody I hope you get your money but your bike is most likely gonna be destroyed before he gives it back to you. He is a jerk and showed his true colors over the last few months. Congrats on all your hard work with Vforce customs, stick it to occ and say Hi to Vinny.

I predict this show will eventually implode over money, jealousy, and plain old greed. They are a victim of their own success.

and he deserves it 100%, i watched the show when he was on there, i really enjoyed watching him, and he more than did his part, he deserves the bike and the money that he worked for her....good luck to him, maybe he will win the case and start his own show, that sounds good.

Hi Cody, Hope you get everything they promised you. After Vinny and you left the show it went down hill. The only one left that seems like a stand up guy is Mikey. He's getting the shaft now. Sr and Jr forgot where they came from and all the people who got them where they are today. Good Luck and hope to see and Vinney at Bike Week in Daytona. Ronny L

Paul Sr. is an angry miserable person. It is so obvious that he resents his sons and no amount
of money will make him happy.

Oh well, this was bound to happen. Since nobody's buying yuppie choppers anymore Sr. must be having a life crisis.
Time to go back into anonymity.....
