American Chopper final episode this week

[mitchedwards]

Thursday will be the final episode of American Chopper, and the drama of OCC.

Not sure how I'll spend my Thursday nights now.

I was a rabid fan since the very beginning...but this last season just plain sucked.

What made the show interesting was the fights between them while building bikes...lol.

Now...it's just plain 'ol boring bike builds with kiss arse personnel (no one dares challenge Paul Sr now), insipid Paul Jr lame journeyman designs...and poor Mikey without a clue in what to do in life (artist, pianist, stand up comedian, etc...).

I think in real life, OCC is in trouble...Paul Sr just got too ambitious and big...that new facility is obscene, they can't make money on just custom builds alone anymore...that's why they signed with Ducati to sell their bikes.

Paul Jr is having trouble getting his new design company off the ground...Coleman grills has been his only customer to this point.

...and Mike...well good for him getting treatment for his alcoholism, and he's the one I like the most, I wish him well...but I hope he saved his money.

Paul Sr...an ambitious businessman who was a very bad parent (none of his three sons are talking to him).

Paul Jr...a Jesse James wannabe...but really...he couldn't carry Jesse James' jockstrap in a million years...Paul Jr was not a true fabricator (just an assembly man)...and he's not really an authentic biker...he doesn't even likes to ride them.

Mikey...cool dude...funny dude.

I stopped watching it when all 3 of them stopped being on together.

I stuck around...but you did the right thing...once they were not together...the show changed completely...now it's just plain boring to watch.

[Hector]

Paul Sr. is suing his son (Paul Jr) for a $1 million in back company stock.

[Hector]

BTW...Vincent DiMartino was their best builder...but he left to start up his own bike company...V-Force Customs...with Cody Connelly...

I thought they just bolted ordered bits together on that show.

I thought they just bolted ordered bits together on that show.

You're basically right.

Usually the frame, engine and everything else was stock.

They just made custom gass tanks and fenders

[Meule]

Haven't seen the show since they parted ways, not sure I should anymore

I always wondered what happened to Vinnie. And Cody's joining him now in a new TV show? Too cool

[Hector]

Yeah...I really like Vinnie and Cody...

[Hector]

Jesse James...now that's a real hardcore bike builder...he's a master fabricator...he can do it all...and he's married to Sandra Bullock...life has been good to that man...

[toys2cool]

I use to love watching that

[Captain]

Cody is suing Paul Sr. too....something about 250,000 dollars in back pay or some such.

Jesse James ....well...I cant stand the smug goofball. He has some talent, but is wayyyyyy overrated. Plus, as you said, he's married to Sandra Bullock. Lucky SOB!!
