I have to at Vinnie on the back for al the time he put up with SR and JR's bull_hit for as long as he did. He pulled there ass's out of the fire more than on time. Cody owes alot to Paul sr for the oppertunity that Paul gave him and sending him to school, so i find it hard to belive that he left. And i agree that Jason Pohl should never come out of his office, I think there trying to make him fill Vinnie's shoes as there scapgoat. live free, guner I thought everyone knew that fixing all of JR’s screw ups was Vinnie’s job.

I have watched the show from the beginning and although employees have to take crap from bosses, he was spoken to very badly by SR. Sr hever seemed to acknowledge the work that Vinnie did or the input he provided. The hours they work are beyond a joke as well and as a family man, we could see the change in Vinnie when speaking about his family. I say good on him for leaving, he really did the right thing especially after the Corn Bike crap he had to take from Jr when jr messed up something and told Vinnie to fix it and walking off, while everyone else were slacking off. Jason Pohl is a serious embarrassment to OCC and I have stopped watching because of him and I know a lot of other people who feel the same. We call him Pohl the tool in our house as he is trying to be Mikey mark 2 but failing dismally. I cant stand the guy and his stupid face he pulls when tyying to be funny. While he may be a good designer, he should stay in the background where he belongs and leave everyone alone. What a Gobshite!!! VINNIE RULES!!!

Never really thought Cody was mature enough to start a business, but hey everyone has to start some where. Why the holly heck didn't build a better website? It totally bites, it's so darn slow, and doesn't have many pictures of their bikes. What's up with not posting their bikes for sale on the site? Vinnie should have taken the other main character on OCC that was in the trenches with them. You all know the "Tank man!"

I promise you that a waiver was signed from OCC's legal team banning him (Vinnie) from ever utilizing the name "OCC or any of it's variations" as to both protect their product line and stifle any further free notoriety. Too bad Vinnie didn't reverse it - I have heard his name still mentioned on episodes. Hell, he should have sued for use of his face on the "blues" bike (name and us of likeness lawsuits are easy to win - even easier that it's on tape). Remeber Paul Seniors words on Vinnie's last episode - "anyone can be replaced"...sad this doesn't apply to his own son.

Instead of staying with the bike builds, they keep going off on other personal crap, like getting ugly tattoos. American Chopper is gonna crash. Too many reruns, and face it, you can only buils so many bikes until they all start to look alike. time to move on Paul Sr. Then they put Paulie or others on camera to explain what we already saw. And Mikey, I have no idea why he is even there, Like we are so stupid we just don't gte it. I met Vinnie and Cody ate the Bike Fest in Boerne , Texas... I really like them and wish them the best.

TV shows no matter how populor have and ending point sooner or later. The public will outgrow OCC and tune into a newer show. Paul Sr is no Spring Chicken and I don't think Paulie or No Bike Builing Talent Mikey can carry the weight if Paul Sr leaves. I doubt the show will be on in a couple of years and maybe Vinnie and Cody will be the replacement show for them at a later date. I predict that sooner or later OOC will crash and burn.

And then I found out this page. There was no mention anywhere in the show about Vinnie leaving the OCC..Thats weird.. Did they had a fight between Paul's before they left? Im very curious of the situation before leaving OCC, but I think it will be secret between them and OCC. But well... The show is littlebit going off direction.. I mean, Jason building bikes? I think it gives even worse reputation to OCC that theres some really beginner doing bikes.. And it really pushes the show more down to watch some goofy guy playing around bikes.. And I think that even Rick isnt seen so much in the shows.. Paul jr seems nowdays that he cant even care less about bikes anymore.. The show has gone downwards in my opinion.. Its still cool to watch, but the basic idea - making bikes - is nowdays 20% of the show and rest of it is fill up..
