Hay pauly my name is sean hughes and I am an inventor from ill and if you can e mail me I can make us so wealthy togeather we will make occ look silly all of my life I have had. The abbility and tallent to give my ideas to large corps and have just gotton a pat on the back while saving these company’s millions . I am one of the best inventors out there .togeather we will have one of the best tv shows out there

I hope this is said “tongue-in-cheek”, Mr. Hughes, because if you are serious??? …… You may want to go back to fourth grade and maybe hire a student to tutor you in spelling as well, because I don’t think the teacher could handle it alone! I was going nuts as I read many of the posts on this site. The most frustrating ones before I got to this, were the two that I read from “supposed” teachers, whose grasp of the English language (and the spelling thereof) were sad at best and frightening at worst. It’s like society has lost its emphasis on basic learning skills in school…..or the average schooling of the average person who posts online is about 8th grade level (and that is being kind). Is this a fair representation of the cultural apathy that seems to be prevalent in the United States in the 21st century? If so…..Is anyone truly surprised at the current state of the economy here and abroad??? I imagine that foreigner’s in chat rooms have a hard time taking American citizen’s seriously, when they can speak, spell and write better than the average adult in the U.S. by the age of ten! My goodness people……if you KNOW you can’t spell, are you too lazy to at LEAST use SPELL CHECK???? How long would it take you to copy/paste your post into an email box in Outlook Express…..or Microsoft Word…or Works…or a plethora of other spell checking programs available on the web. At least then it would look like you cared whether or not people will take you seriously or not. Show some self pride. I’m not saying I’m perfect either. I made 2 spelling mistakes myself. The difference is that I took the time to spell check it and then fix the mistakes.

Please understand me folks. I’m not here ripping the average guy posting on this thread (or ANY thread for that matter). Some people haven’t had the chance to receive proper education for one reason or another…and other comments are likely written by young children (as in 10-13 year olds), who maybe haven’t gotten to advanced English yet. It’s the teachers, business professionals and people (like the person I quoted in this post) who claim to be “inventors who sell their idea’s to big corps” that make me throw my hands up in wonder and disgust at their lack of ability to spell the most common of words, or repeatedly use improper homonym’s (their/there, where/wear, your/you’re, etc). It just drives me crazy when I see someone (ESPECIALLY a TEACHER!!!!!) who call themselves a professional, who can’t spell basic English words!

My venting is complete…..for now.

Your indicates ownership – Your house, your car.
You’re is the contraction for You Are – You’re cute, you’re late.

There indicates a location – There on the floor, we were there.
Their signifies ownership – Their house, their car.

Please speak and write proper English. It is not rocket science.

Paul Sr. if you happen to read this, and I think you will with your ego, You were given a golden ring to make up for whatever shit you did when you were you younger. Take care of your family and you family will take care of you. Ditch your venomous blond bimbo wife. Every since you married her your relationship has been strained.
Bring Jr and Mikey back to the comany, Jr and mikey as minority shareholders of 25.5% a piece. That way you can overrule any one of their silly moves, but together they can stop you from making anymore jackass decisions.
Get a management company in place to run the day to day business ops.
Then you guy’s hire a couple of really talented builders and do what you do best. Fabricate and show your pieces. Did you not get the hint when every one of your customers asked where paul jr and mikey were? They don’t want to see you…they want to see them.
you’re the figurehead…you’re the guy behind the name that gives Biker Cred to the build….nobody is gonna look at you and your past and say you’re a poser! You’re a biker with 2 very cool kids that appeal to people use em and get over yourself!

R

Jr would shut Sr down in the industry doing his own thing.

The series is ending. What does that tell ya?

Good Luck to Jr. and Mikey.

Junior is rapidly learning that the best thing that ever happened was a father that TRIED to set him up with a hell of a career, which chance Junior blew off! Senior is gruff and doesn’t want to hear a lot of S__T! How the hell did he ever become successful?! (that was sarcasm ya’ll) Everybody said Senior would be lost without the kids. What horse hockey. He built the company, he had the plan, the drive, the understanding that the customer mattered. He never thought that Junior built the best bikes in the world, he knew damned well that it was marketing, taking advantage of luck, and work like hell.

Hey, wait, that’s the same way he started all the success that he enjoyed while junior was still playing patty cake. Some want to say that Senior owes Junior something because he wasn’t the best father ever. Crap. What he owes the whining little puke is letting him go out on his own and see just what the hell he can make by himself. The answer seems to be not a hell of a lot so far. Senior might have spoiled the kids with too much money and fame for too little commitment, but at least he finally saw the truth of what a jerk Junior was, how little he respected the gifts and work of his father, and what a narcissistic entitled little punk he was becoming. Senior might have saved his son by firing him. Time will tell.

I have watched OCC, every now and then,…..Let me tell you straight. Some nice designs, let’s not blow this outta proportion (there’s a lotta great designers out there) , but the whole set up of the firm is a disgrace to the trade.
Now I like a bit of fun in the workshop like anyone else but who wants to come into work on a Monday morning and the owner of the firm and his sons are throwing chairs through office windows, smashing down doors etc. Lets be honest folks, that’s not a serious workplace.

Skills wise Vinny, Rick, Christian and Jr are all good tradesmen, I know Vinny and Cody have left (good luck both of ye)….But Rick and Christian must be getting great appearance money, Cos I don’t know any tradesmen at that age who could handle a workshop like that, skilled men don’t take that shit, but senior wouldn’t know tht cos he’s not a skilled man.

This is Sr’s problem……..He keeps talking about how has been around steel all his life, ok Senior what can you do………Can you weld……erm………..No……Can you fabricate……….erm ……No……Can you rivet…..No…..can you turn metal, mill metal?..no no…..FFs the man can barely use a measuring tape……..He can heat up metal with an oxy/acet torch and roughly bend it the “old fashioned way….by the eye” as he puts it (erm…..that’s not the old fashioned way Sr that’s the amateur way), that’s all folks……….I’m sure he has been around steel all his life, but he’s been 2 busy roaring and bawling at other people to be concentrating on doing something with the steel………….

Now he gets a TV show, where he is in charge of skilled tradesmen………….Hey that’s a bit like putting a cowboy in the White House aha!!, Now do you gettit.
I must admit a lot of the bikes were nice but some were very clownish…….joke bikes, if you will…………..ffs….did anyone see the Crane bike…….wtf was that about, how embarassing
However, as soon as truckloads of money entered the scene, you could see all the attitudes changing. Senior actually started thinking it was “all his hard work over the years that got them to where they were”………sorry mate……it was Discovery Channel………….Junior started thinking he was almost a genius, because of all the attention he was getting ………..sorry mate……..Discovery Channel again…………….and Mikey started thinking he was a painter/musican……..sorry mate……………I can’t even blame Discovery for that crap.
When the programme goes off the air, and people lose interest (and they will)……..they will realise wht they missed.

Anyway……..good luck to the boys…they’ve been thru’ hell with Senior the ………..erm “Steel man”………wish you all the best lads………….Your mother did a great job on yez

PS Paul…….Get rid of the dizzy blonde………….I can see what she’s up to already…….I can see courts and libel cases in the future there……………and guess what …..it’s all on camera

Good luck all steel workers

Sr is a total egotistical prick, who has bullied his way around people most of his life, including his family (apart from doddery old ma Teutul, who still thinks he’s an altar boy).

He was a drugs and drink fiend when he was bringing the boys up (his own admission), He was in the Marines, but worked in the supply stores ffs……..where was the tough guy then? (They do say bullies are the biggest cowards)

Can you imagine him coming back on the weekend out of his head shouting and screaming…………..No wonder those boys are damaged and the third son has cut all ties with him altogether………………I feel nothing but pity for Paul and Mikey. But in reallity paul is not really a designer as such………he’s an enhancer (i.e he enchances what trained designers have developed)……..and a very good one ( do a degree and learn it properly) , he won’t be short of money…………Sorry Mikey………..put the paint brushes and piano away………You are not artistic and never will be, Your drawings are too infantile to be infantile and noone can play keyboards with sausage fingers……….go on a web design course and so something useful……or have a beer or 6.

Like most of the folk on here…….Vince was the true hero of the show..he got things done and no farting around…….he will definately succeed………I served my apprenticehip as a fab/welder and it was great seeing all the old tools and skills again…….and being used properly by most of the staff except Sr. and Mikey……..Jason is king of the nerds……….
and Steve has a mysterious hold on Sr……..is he son No4?………….I dunno…….don’t care……………Good luck Jr………..Mikey…….getto outta that bar………..Steve…….. get outta Seniors Ass and Sr………Instant Karma’s gonna get ya………..
