Jr. built that dynasty with his creativity backed by his father's $. If they could have just gotten along they would have it made. The show has been boring since he left OCC. No Vinnie, Mikey, or Jr. equals no ratings. Complaining Mikey don't show up at 7 a.m. to push a broom? Dumb. He lived on a plane or bus for 4-5 years and made all of the kids and old ladies laugh and like you. Without Jr. they would all be old-school choppers. Theme bikes built the machine, Period.

I'm guessing now Sr. will have to learn what the custom bike market is really about for the guys that don't have a TV show to sell exposure to big companies. It was about marketing and PR for those companies. No exposure means they will not pay $150k for choppers. They will have to build them for $40 like every other high profile bike builder; if they can find that customer anymore. It will be interesting to see if they can afford to support all of that square footage. How long will the line of cars show up to support the T-Shirt and nick-nack shop once the TV show is gone?

I wish them luck. Sad to see. I hope they took care of their personal finances. NOBODY involved in that show should ever HAVE to work again if they did it right.

Sorry to see them go. Hope they patch up the family and start making cool bikes again someday.
