They won't go bankrupt in a year because the Teutuls(sp?) don't own OCC. The Discovery Channel bought the company from them. They work for the Discovery Channel. The only bikes that are hand designed at OCC are the bikes that Sr. builds. All of Jr.s bikes are that computer generated shit now. Truth is, Discovery is probably trying to make sure that Vinny can't take their crew and start a show on another channel.

So there is room for two bikes shops in small town NY?

Good luck buddy, but the odds are against you IMO

Most likely a mistake he'll come to realize later.

He probably should have changed fields.

I quit watching that show a couple of years ago mainly because the Pauls are just a couple of big-time assholes. I really hope Vinnie does well...I had a chance to meet him a few years ago and he really is a nice guy and deserves to do well.

him and cody are supposed to be starting there own shop together. Codys mom has gotten on that message board too letting us know how cody and vins shop is coming along. supposedly, it's all set up by TLC to make a spinoff show kind of like Miami Ink did except this time Vinnie and cody didn't leave on bad terms. it was all set up for the tv.

Good, hope vinnie is able to make some bank for his family finally. I saw his "new" house on a recent episode and about shit that it kinda clapped out and needed a ton of updates.

I know it's been literally AGES since I've posted here (and I miss you guys!!!) - but I knew you guys would want to know that it is true Vin AND Cody have left. Cody will be working for Vin in his shop.

Vin has found a bldg that they are fixing up and he's not missing Code cause he's with him every day. And he's definitely NOT in Florida. He said he's been busy fixing up things around the house too before he gets even busier. As far as the circumstances of their leaving, that should be left up to them to tell - if they choose to do so.

His last episode will be the last one of the season. Cody made it onto the next season which they've already been filming, and will be in the first one and I can't remember if he said he would be in the second one or not. But that's it.

He also wanted to make sure I was watching this week because Vanessa will be on it he said. So that will be the last time she is on there I suppose.

He is VERY happy. I wish you guys could hear it in his voice. He AND his family are happy with his decision. Whatever may come of it. I know we will all miss him on the show, but I'm glad he's happy. And once he gets settled into his shop, he can set his own hours and spend some time with his family. He's looking forward to that.

He says Vanessa is a little motorhead and likes to "help" her Daddy but she's still girly in ways too. I'm sure he's looking forward to the twins getting older (as most men do) so he can do more with them lol

Umm, Paul Sr was comfortable before tv. The steel business allowed him to build bikes for fun.

Every time I use that expression I end up having to explain it to people.

Yeah but they got much richer after Occ and discovery got in bed together!!!!From driving clapped out excursion to h2s he beats the hell out of!!!

Satan Inside · 10-19-2007, 12:14 PM

Who's going to do the actual work while Jr and Sr are fighting and breaking doors?

I hope Vinny goes on to get paid what he is worth.
