= domestic violence at it's finest.
Watching it now with commentary of the fighting. |

Damn if Junior was my son I would've beat his ass a long time ago. That little prick has no respect for anyone, and no work ethic to speak of.
Senior is not innocent by any means, but damn dude, he gave both of his sons everything they could have asked for and much more, and Junior treats him like that? The whole situation is retarded. Senior is an asshole who doesn't know how to communicate with his sons, but has given them so much. Junior is a spoiled prick, and deserves all the shit that he has had to go through(lawsuits etc.) . Mikey is clearly retarded. |

I thought it was on Monday nights? I'm actually looking forward to the show. The next weeks highlights showed Jason Poole flipping out after Paul Senior told him he didn't like his current bike design. Meh, it'll probably be more manufactured drama like the rest of the season. |

I saw the preview I think when I was watching top shot actually and it looked exactly the same as one of his "fights" with junior. |

They like to hype stuff (Rick quitting) to get people to watch and then it turns out to be nothing. |

Sr is a fucking prick, I worked for a guy that was like that for two years, the worst two years of my life. |

20,000 dollar bikes and two drama llamas. No thanks. They're valued at $150,000-$400,000. I saw the Lincoln chopper at a local Lincoln dealer one day and asked about the value the OCC guys said it was insured for 200k http://www.cars-wallpapers.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/lincoln-mark-lt-chopper.jpg I wonder how much of that 200k is because it was a on film build and thus advertising. |

His dad would basiclly give him anythign he wants/needs but he opens up a little shitty art shop and dosen't even dress up, use Pro Active, or fix his hair for the show. |

Unfortunately.
That show is still on? +87 
I can't even bear to watch the commercials. When I work nights I like to keep the TV on in the background during the day and this POS show is on all day long on Discovery. WTF? Who watches this shit anymore? |

Quoted: Quoted: I hate to admit it the gears of war trike I really liked. That was a strong effort. That project made Paul Jr. Designs a formidable competitor to OCC. I think everything PJD has cranked out thus far has all been fine work. That Gene Detector door thingy was kinda gay, but the DNA wheels were hot. The Cadillac bike was bad ass. The GoW Trike really did set the bar though, it would be hard to top that I think. |

The old man is going to run OCC into the ground like he has everything else. That's how I'd wager. |

Meh, to me the bikes were always the same thing with different shit hung or painted on. If you watch the show, PJD haw moved away from this with haste. His dad's shop? not so much. Junior is doing much more fab work on his bikes and they certainly aren't the cookie-cutter bikes he did under his dad. I'm guessing that the criticism he faced by his peers (bolt-on bike part faggotry) got under his skin. |

Dude, if you really wanted an OCC bike, you could pick one up for $15K or less. People end up winning raffles and can't afford the taxes... and I've seen other people just end up trying to sell em off. I've seen a few up for grabs, and I haven't even looked. |

I quit watching that train wreck a long time ago. Everyone in the family is a dysfunctional hack whose only talent is self-promotion.
Senior: Doesn't build anything, and only gets in other peoples' way. Hair-trigger temper fueled by years of steroid abuse; thinks he's hot shit in a fifty-five gallon drum, when in reality he's nothing more than a warmed-over fart in a Dixie cup. Without his fabricators, who actually have skill and talent, he'd fall flat on his face. Junior: Spoiled little prick who fancies himself a designer, but knows nothing about design. Couldn't tell you the difference between Raymond Loewy and Virgil Exner, much less anything about the actual process of industrial design. Took on a project for Coleman to revamp their camping gear, and after weeks of hand-wringing and thousands in fees, decided to paint the product a different color. Whiny egotist who thinks he deserves the world on a platter. Mikey: Neurotic child who cowers at the thought of actually growing up and acting like an adult. Thinks of himself as a sensitive artist who's misunderstood by all around him. Actually a talentless, spineless blob who should have grown a pair years ago. OCC: Real custom bike builders? No. They need a frame, they buy one off the shelf. Need an engine? Buy one from an outside supplier. Need accessories? Buy someone else's, and grind on it a little before you send it out for plating. Need custom paint? Send it out. Need a seat upholstered? Send it out. The real custom builders I know of build their own engines, bend up their own frames, do their own molding and paint work. I can only imagine Arlen Ness watching this show; he'd either be laughing his ass off or shaking his head in disbelief. American Chopper should have visited and documented builders around the country with real creativity and construction skills. Instead, it's a scripted 'reality' show which isn't worth two minutes of my time. I loathe the Teufels, but I have even greater dislike for the shills who concocted this series and foisted it off on the public. |

To me he had a sense of humor about all the "art" that he did and in the time that I did watch the show he had fun with it while trying to cash in on the family fame as much as he could while it lasted and really can you blame him for that. I pretty much stopped watching regularly when they got rid of Vinnie and stopped watching all together when they moved into that tremendous "world headquarters" but mike always seemed the least ego filled one of the bunch. |

Spoiled brats do as they do, dad gets piseed off as a result of "look at everything ive done for you" and the cycle just moves faster and faster. |

You are pretty close. I used to date someone who worked there, and was on the show a couple of times. Went out drinking with Mikey a few times as well as Vin and Rick. All 3 of them are great people. Cody is a pretty good kid also, but then, he was too young to go out with us. Aviator ETA: The face shield on my flight helmet everyone likes so much was painted by Nubby...
