Default American Choppers

As everyone knows by now, Thursday is the end of the show American Choppers.What do you think about what's gonna happen with them and the business once out of the spotlight.I had the chance to meet them at Harley's 105.I think fame went to their heads.I also meet and party with Jesse James and Corey Ness.Good folks.Jesse was funny to hang with but I wish his wife would have tagged along.Eye candy.LOL

I will always remember the day the 4D waterjet showed up. They were the first privately held company to get one. What did they do? Went home while it was being delivered, like it was no big deal. I knew than that they were done.

Paul Sr. was a millionaire before the show started...now he's a multi-millionaire...time to go. Paul Jr. is an idiot and Mikey is...well Mikey. I wonder what will happen to the crew...especially Rick...HE was the one with the talent.

I have not watched the show in such a long time and I don't know how it lasted as long as it did-total crap IMO. I'm sure they will still do ok and wil get royalties form reruns and all that stuff.

Really it is no surprise. I dont feel sorry for them at all. Screwing creditors to start a new corporation and not pay for stuff and file bankruptcy. Nothing new. The Old man Sr. is an hot headed *******, Mikey lacks skills, Jr seemed like he had other **** to do all the time....Where is the family togetherness, the team , the focus? The pee ons who had the skill were the ones who made the company. Not the ******* kicking doors and throwing ****. Now the hot head is after all the stock from Jr.....whatever. Drama sucks.

I'm not sure where you got you info but Paul Sr was not a millionaire before the show at all. Matter of fact his original business OC Iron Works was in bankruptcy when he started OCC. OCC only had 3 employees and was only 2 years old when the show found them. Jr (who BTW is not really a Jr, that's just "made for TV" too) and of course Mikey didn't come there until after the show started.

To answer the question. Just like his other business, it will be in bankruptcy, but the difference this time is I'm sure Sr has squirreled away some money....course I doubt it is the millions and millions people think because they also spent money like crazy. Plus I doubt very seriously that the bank(s) that loaned the money to build the MAC World HQ did so without Sr and Jr's Personal Guarantee on the loan so they be going after them too when the company fails, which will for sure happen. It the end they'll just be broke azz loud mouth has beens.
