First of all, if you dont like the show, then leave it to yourself, theres no need to post.
Anyway, Iv'e been a big fan of the show for a long time now, nice to see they have a huge shop now. Their newest episode, The Darien Lake bike, was an awsome bike.
I have mixed feelings about Vinnie leaving. He was a hard ass worker who always seemed to be on time and just worked his ass off for those guys. He even said that he was getting sick of deadline after deadline and so much pressure at the shop that he had to leave, and i'm sure that he got sick of Pauly and Sr arguing all the time.
But on the flip side, when your working for a company like that, yes...pressure...deadlines...its what you have to deal with. I hear hes starting a new company with Cody who is also from the OCC crew, I think hes going to realize that there is going to be pressure with that as well.
By the way, does anyone know if Cody is still with OCC or did he leave and just work with Vinnie? I hadent heard anything about him leaving OCC...
They have built so many nice bikes, its hard for me to choose one that i like the most. I think its a toss up between the Firebike, POW bike, and the Liberty Bike.
I met Pauly Jr, Mikey, Vinnie and Cody a few years ago in at an autograph signing and believe it or not I ran into Paul Sr a couple months ago at Wendys, seemed like a very nice guy.

I stopped watching after Vinnie left because of the way Paul Sr. acted when he left. I think the reason he left was over money which I think he deserved. Anyway him and Cody opened their own shop and have their own site here's the link.

Well if Vinnie was asking for more money, then i agree, he did deserve it.
I agree, Paul Sr did act a bit like an ass when Vinnie left. Jr took it well though.
Did Cody leave OCC or is he still there as well?

I think Paul Jr. and Vinnie have been friends since they were kids. I wonder if they're still buddies.

Could you blame Vinnie though I mean did you see the episode with Mikey's new house I mean he gets paid and he doesn't do shit but act like an idiot.

I think he wanted a piece of the $$ from the show, he didn't get paid any of the royalties and the two Pauls were basically being greedy.
