Default BS

Everyhing on TV turns into something totally predictable. They get a formula and follow it until you get so sick of the same thing over and over that you stop watching. Then they find out we're not watching anymore and cancel the show. TV is BS.

I have a suggestion. There are probably hundreds bike builders out there. Give one episode to each one. Don't try to make a story. Don't try to make them successful. Just give them one shot...even if it looks stupid...let it air.

I think we would all appreciate a little truth just once.

A new show is coming out called Throttle Junkies.Guess who is on that? Vinnie and Cody.Both started a new company called V Force.I love watching bike building show but without all the nonsense.I don't mind a little humor to break things up but being informative would make a show last longer.I do remodeling and I do like watching shows about that.Maybe I learn something new or maybe I say what is the hak doing.Check the site out.I'm hoping it will be a hit and hopefully hollywood won't go to there heads.http://www.vforcecustoms.com/index.p...id=81&Itemid=1

I loved the OCC fire fighter bike, and what I think it stood for,
but as for there shows I watched one, and I had to make
myself watch the next one and I haven't watched one sense.
I am surprised they lasted this long.

AMEN TO THAT. and no FAKE deadlines or drama... there are enuf REAL problems building a bike that they don't need to make them up. parts backordered, made this thing 3 times and it's still not right... etc.

Pretty good suggestion hommes! That could make for some interesting viewing...
About OCC ending, that show has been dying a long, slow, agonizing death. It's past time to end it all... I just feel bad for the guys in the shop that will lose their jobs. That's tough.

There used to be a show called the Biker Build Off. That was pretty good. 2 different builds each week.

When Vin left that was the end of OCC to me
