What did OCC do?
I watched couple of episodes and it looked like beside bike assembly they only made rear fenders and fuel tank. That is it! So what was their talent? They didn't make frames, didn't build motors, even fenders and tanks were made by some hired guy.
Was it different in the beginning? Did they make at least one softail bike?

Get ready to shed a tear, this week's episode is the last one if anyone really cares. 
Will Paul and Paul, Jr. patch things up? Will Mikey return to rehab/lose weight?
Will OCC survive?

I can't wait for the spinoff shows.

I don't think a lot a posters here realize what OCC does now. They do fabricate the tanks & fenders in house but more importantly they fabricate wheels, sprockets & many one off parts using Haas CNC machines which they have plenty of in house. They did a bike for Stewart-Haas Racing & featured Haas Automated Machinery to machine all of their precision parts. It was interesting to see them use the Haas machines to make quite a few custom parts for that bike.

I watched it when it was more about "building" bikes, not this drama crap!

OCC was more about the drama than the bikes in my opinion. When they first started the episodes there was another man that helped Paul SR. do the wiring and assemble of the bikes but left when Paul Jr. came to work for his father because he could not stand his premaddona attitude. Paul Jr. had some talent but some of the things that they used to do to the bikes when they were building them truned me off from watching and then it became all about the drama of the teuttles. I have not watched the show in a long time so I could not say anything about the current and final episodes. They screwed Vinnie over too from what I remember hearing. I hear that they charge for autographs too and to me that is friggin outrageous considering all of the money that they were making already. Greed is the fall of many. At Sturgis I just walked by while hundreds of people waited in line to pay for an autograph or more OCC ****. Unbelieveable!

paul jr. and mikey were useless. any thing paul jr. did pretty much any one could do. all ii see is sense they left sr. is still turning out some pretty nice bikes. sr. old school pow bike and the tribute bike to david mann were over the top.
