OCC American Chopper shut down over law suites

The end of American Chopper Feb, 11

Which just happens to be national don't cry over spilled milk day.


Gonna miss being able to follow the guys.


Funny how these last few shows has SRs new wifes kids coming into the shop.

Its why he is astranged with so many of his kid, they all have different mothers, as ever time he gets a new wife, he pushes the "old" family away.

Though I do blame half of it for the move to TLC, that was dumb.

Guys can watch Discovery 24/7 and its 99% good.

But only a few hrs a day of TLC are guy friendly, mosty mega dram BS or live births on TV, I don't wanna see that.

I lost complete interest when the family broke down. Mikey's alcoholism seemed like a contrived effort to hang on to some of the family make up of the show.

Sorry to see it go, but it "jumped the shark" a year ago.

That show was old well over a year ago. I couldn't care less about it. The bad thing is that so many other shows now try the same formula. Its old. Its tired. Take it out back and shoot it.

Yeah I lost interest when they parted ways...just not the same...they all share some responsability for how things came to pass. Too bad really they did some pretty cool sh%t together. Shame that the fame and $$$ pushed them over the edge.

Maybe now Vinny n Cody will agree to do a show?
[They got out early and started their own shop Vforce Customs.]

Now that it won't a competition between the two for air time.

Course that’s also when it went down hill, they had the big Vinny quits shows but when Cody quits to follow him they would not allow it on the air. Also why the re-runs of the old shows stopped. SR didn't want them to get any air time, even if it was on OCC. Like they also had no part in the fame.

It was all SR, his designs and work that got them their COUGHBULLSHITCOUGH

Admins need to prevent robots from crawling the site. It's very simple text file.

The show was over when everyone split. Suprised it made it this long.

TLC hasn't been "The Learning Channel" in a long time. I remember when they had cool stuff on there along the lines of Discovery. Now its the "midgets and shoulda used birth control" network....

That show was cool for maybe three months...I totally lost interest when they got so full of themselves from the money they were making from the show that they started driving their perfectly good vehicles into the walls of their old shop after they moved into their new one. Guess when you are a sellout you can afford to do stupid crap like that.

How sad is it that you have to design grills and dog parks for a living not bikes that is your speciality. Paul Sr. and his no compete claus in the contracts. Thats why Vinny and Cody are not on TV yet.
But he does have a hot girl friend at least till the money runs out.
Maybe he can do designer garbage cans next.
