I used to enjoy this show but how many times can you show the same stuff over and over again? Paul Sr. and Junior fight, Mikey does something goofy and they build a theme bike...Wow! For a series finale they should take one of their bikes and jump a shark.sphss
I'm really out of touch with that show, but last time I turned it on Vinny and Pauly weren't in it. Just Senior and Jason Poole hacking stuff up.. Pretty lame now... I'm miss the old days.. Oh, I think Pauly started a womens clothing line with his Fiancee...
Seriously man, that show has run its course. And the bikes they build are all the same ugly exagerated chopper. It was funny to watch them through the years move up in shop size every so often. making COIN! My buddy bought a bike from them, before their show and before the money and BS. Bike was delievered at 3am via semi. Wouldn't start, electical was all f*cked up...Piece of sh!t.
You have to spend half the show watching them trying to kite surf or skateboard or horseback ride, while building a bike that will see pavement once (on the show). It sucks
its been pretty hilarious to me lately. paul sr. thinking he's got a biz without jr., knowing full well he's already ****ed due to the economy and the fact he went and built a huge factory with a shitload of overhead. occ is doommmmmed
looks as if they were living outside their means alot lately. dumbasses should've been putting it back for when the bubble burst , but like most folks that get rich fast, they have no money handling skills. at least sr. bought alot of old cars/bikes he can resell
WOW, thats great, someone makes him famous, and he bags there business, glad to see the market in the shitter, dont rip off the guy that made you what you are!!!
We were thinking the same thing last week. I was flipping channels and said what is this still doing on or is it a re-run? No. It was a newer episode. We watched 20 minutes and saw Sr. talk about how much of a drugie he was and give a 21 yr old a shot to work in the shop and clean his alcohol addiction up. However the kid was only clean for about 3 days with no sponsor. What a joke.
I always thought the show was cheesy years ago when it first came out, but man the show really took a turn for the south now. C'mon.. how many theme bikes can you build and how many dorrs can Sr slam shut?
Well I think they are a marketing genuis targeting Cat, HP etc for theme bikes. Those companies get the entire show as advertising. Pretty much makes the bike cost nothing. An hour long advertising commercial?
I think Paul Sr. has money to last him a few lifetimes.. The OCC brand is huge.... IMO his ranch is modest for a guy that has an empire on his hands... I would imagine a lot of the equipment in their new facility are freebee's from the manufactures, all those banners and logos in the shop are not there by accident.. The bikes are just kind of a side thing.. I think he's well off..
If my memory is correct, does he not own a successful steel/ metal company as well? If I remember another thing, the bikes were a side business for fun. If he kept that in mind the whole time, he should be rolling pretty nicely.
well a boating forum is still talking about them, so something is still right with them. I agree also that they or someone was a genius to market building a bike for an hour long advertisement. Think the son runs the steel business, they are the ones that built the new shop...I am sure SR. still has his hands in the pot on that one..if not he cashed out big still.
