I wouldn't buy a bike in a mall.
&nbsp\\;
This is a retail apparel store only. They have a&nbsp\\;brand new facility in Newburgh for bikes. The bikes at the store&nbsp\\;are props for display only. The bike I was looking at was at a private sellers home 3 minutes from the mall.

The newer shows had them moving in a new huge new building. The overhead on that building would be substantial. With the softening of that market and the eventual cancellation(can't last forever) of that show it will be hard for them to maintain I would imagine.

They could close the doors on the whole OCC operation tomorrow as far as I'm concerned. No loss....

I agree with most of the sentiment voiced here. There wasn't a whole lot of "custom" work going on over at OCC. In my opinion, the only guy that did a whole lot of work there at OCC was the UPS driver delivering parts they bought. The first couple of seasons, the show was entertaining and somewhat interesting\\; however, that appeal quickly went the way of the dodo. Later seasons seemed to focus more on the drama and less on the bikes.

Oh well, not everything can last forever. Nice to hear that Vinny &amp\\; Cody have moved on to greener pastures, though.

I pretty much agree with everyone on the way the show seemed to go. To much prima donna stuff going on between the 2 pauls &amp\\; I assume Mickey is a little retarded or something, although retards don't get on my nerves like Mickey does.

All the hype and the cash flow from TV lead them to their new building but now that the economy is in the tank I wouldn't be at all surprised to hear that they fold. Perhaps Vinnie saw this writing on the wall.

They are laughing all the way to the bank. It looks like they won't be leaving us soon.

I never did understand thier bikes.&nbsp\\; Lets pull this 'un off the production line, weld on some wrenches, and have a tv show!&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
They did make a couple interesting bikes, but lots of gaudy stuff.&nbsp\\;
