I wouldnt blame the company's failure on his lazy offspring because Seniors kids really are worthless. Its been that way since day 1. Whenever I watch the show "mikey" is always shown as being clumsy,lazy,and the shop clown. Paul Jr. is a worthless piece of crap that cant accomplish anything without the assistance of Vinny. He's constantly asking Vinny "Did I do this right?" or "What do you think about this idea?". He is so naive to building motorcycles i think hes just taking up space in the shop. In my opinion that company really depends on all the other guys behind the scenes.

As for OCC, he got too big for his britches too fast. He should have kept it simple and stayed true to his roots. That big gaudy showroom is unnecessary. What, did he think he was going to be a TV personality forever?
And junior is a spoiled brat, but I wouldn't be able to take being yelled at by my dad all the time either. Of course, I would be at work on time though. Mikey is an idiot who was only there for the comic relief. If I had an opportunity like that to build custom bikes, I wouldn't be acting a fool around the shop, I'd be helping to build bikes and learning all I could. What a waste. The only smart son, is the one we don't see on TV. The real talent is Rick and Vinnie, and maybe that autoCAD guy. Rick and Vinnie should have their own show building real bikes for real bikers without all of the drama.

Y'all are missing the point, IMHO...

Bankruptcy is a tool to be used as a part of the company's growth strategy, "Business as usual". The family is not what the show is about. They just bring in viewers. The show is the business, the bikes they build are just advertisement for the companies that 'have bikes built for them'.

I've never been to OCC headquarters, but I've heard they still have all the bikes they built in the showroom. If that is true, how could the OCC company have made any money other than what was paid out by TLC and Discovery channels? Like any daytime soap opera, night time soaps endure by creating shows which will get the audience to tune in next week. TLC and Discovery channel must have made some profit with the advertising scheme, or the show would have been canceled long ago...

Yeah your right...I guess Jr's the reason the steel business is in bankruptcy court as well huh?
