They all must be broke the big wheel chopper fad is way over and can't see them doing custom baggers they made ton of money selling "production bikes" that was short lived I think greed sunk in to senior building that new shop he claims to be a smart business man and he didn't see that coming I wouldn't feel bad if they all went broke as for laughing devils that whole show was fake bs right from jump

There is one up side. A bunch of new asshats will watch the series and decide that they can't live another 24 hours without owning their own bike and will run out and drive prices up for a couple of weeks.

Already there man. I can stream and antenna anything I want to see. Cable company didn't want to play ball. Kept insisting on ridiculous bundles with TV, internet and phone. I said nope and took all their equipment back to them. Only kept internet. Do whatever I need with an antenna and Roku or Fire TV.
As far as the Teutels, nope. That ship sailed a long time ago. I'll download a book from Amazon before I watch these clowns again.

If I wanted to watch a family fight over little $hit, I can just stay home.

The OCC Helicopter thing was short lived.

They built a bike for Silver State Helicopters, in return for a Helicopter being available to them for X many hours a month or something... the bike was going to be auctioned off for charity

Shortly after that Silver State imploded in a way that made OCC's financial failing look small..... They owed everyone money, all the aircraft were re-po'd, students that had pre paid flight time lost all their money, CFI's and support got screwed out of moneys owed....

OCC would have been a lot better off with fractional ownership of a corporate jet or something....

As someone said - they don't really build frames, fenders, engines or occasionally tanks.

They're basically cake decorators for motorcycles. They just keep tacking things onto something someone else made.

Exactly! I can`t see any reason for that show even remotely becoming a success.

Bingo! And it`s the same with Hollyweird movies as well. Revamps of movies made 30-50 years ago, even after endless sequels.

I think Mikey is smarter than that, plus he has his own gig, Wolfgang Art Gallery.
