I watched several seasons of the show. Senior drove me up the wall. His temper tantrums were childish. His design ideas were limited. His technical abilities nothing without everyone else doing the work. I'm glad Junior, Mikey and Vinny are doing well. Junior and Vinny were the real talent. And both are flexible and forward thinking. Senior could learn a thing or two if he wasn't a massive ego on legs! I think Junior was sick of Senior sh1te and that's why he was so disrespectful.

Rick Petco was the REAL craftsman on that show. I'll never forget Paul Jr. on the first episode pounding an axle into a hole that wasn't quite big enough. Paul Jr. has much more imagination than his father when it comes to design. However, I rode motorcycles for years (mostly Brit bikes) & I don't think OCC ever built a bike I would ride.

Few people these days remember the early days, big inch motors didn't arrive in a packing case already built and if you wanted something in the basic construction of the bike to look trick you made it yourself. I built my Harley, 93 inch Shovelhead motor, Delkron cases, S&S internals, dual plugged, Crane roller rockers, . outer cases scroll engraved by hand. The bike had a rigid frame, 7" over girders by P&P and was made to be ridden hard. Also scratch built a copy of a Hydra Glide using a stock spec custom rigid frame and an 80 inch Evo motor, right down to straight red paint and chrome metal decals it looked the part. Having done that you tend to see through some of the OCC bike builds, yes brilliant fabricating skills but were some of the cock ups done just for the camera? Bikes taking a dive off lifts because they weren't strapped down, parts sent for chrome that needed more work, sometimes welding and the best one was the fuel tank that had been painted that had no fitting for a tap, I was a motorcycle mechanic for 48 years and if I had done any of those kind of things I would have been shown the door.

Paul senior lives in Brooksville, Florida. I saw him having breakfast at The Breakfast station at the corner of Cortez and Broad street (Winn Dixie Shopping plaza) about a month ago.

I owned and ran a motorcycle shop for many years, both with a partner and by myself. I have actually had a couple of these TV famous bikes make it across my table. The first OCC bike I ever saw in person was at a motorcycle trade show sponsored by Snap-On tools. Go figure, guess which bike was there. I was not impressed. A few months later one of their bikes showed up at my shop for electrical issues. It took my a while to figure it out but the means for fusing electrical systems just blew my mind. The fact that they actually used Rev-Tech engines and transmissions was the last straw for any kind of respect as a motorcycle builder. I've also had West Coast Choppers motorcycles cross my table and was actually impressed. While they still were dealing with the chopper industries growing pains, there were no shortcuts taken or cheaper "Budget Engines" used. It was either Harley Davidson or S&S engines, Harley Davidson or Baker transmissions. So the quality was there. For the first 10 years of the shop, I kinda enjoyed the money influx from the "Bikes are cool again" scene, but it actually got to the point where I refused to work on any kind of chopper. Towards the end when I finally closed my shop, I refused to even change oil on any of these choppers. In the old days, you took a complete bike, tore it apart and built it your way. The China produced parts did not exist. When TV discovered bikes, the China parts flooded the market, Korean parts flooded the market and quality took a back seat to good looks. In that same amount of time, I built one custom bike a year. I can actually tell you where most of them are today, because most of them are still being ridden today.

Loved this show back in its prime. Strong sense of family yet they would go off on insane meltdowns. Mikey was so funny. Always felt bad for Rick and Vinny as they were caught in the crossfire and didn't look like they enjoyed it much. They also got stuck doing most of the work. Rick seemed by far to be the most talented craftsman.

It's intriguing to witness how each member navigated their way through personal and professional endeavors after the show ended. From legal disputes to successful ventures, the cast's stories continue to captivate audiences, demonstrating the lasting impact of the iconic reality TV series.

Vinnie was the most valuable member of the whole team. I’m glad he’s doing well.

[Robocoppat]

Out of all of them, Rick Petco is a magician with metal. I'll admit im pretty good making stuff out of metal. The main thing you need is Imagination 😜. Cody has definitely changed. The old man was good for making decisions and screaming for no apparent reason.

[johncaputo]

I had a friend that bought one had to have one he paid plenty. God knows how much anyway he couldn’t take it for a ride every time he rode it he broke down every single time.

When the show first came on and the focus was strictly on bike building, I was hooked. When it evolved into a soap opera I was done. Other shows that featured other builders became my go to shows. I loved watching Indian Larry, Jesse James etc. They were building bikes not acting like idiots. Indian Larry was by far my favorite show. His bikes were more basic mechanically but great designs in the frames and tins were over the top.. He was an artist concerned about building a functional working riding machine.

[vinniedixon]

Senior was old school, Junior was new school, that's why the always clashed. Junior proved how good he was when he set up his own company, he even designed a bike in his head without putting it on paper. Mikey was funny, Rick is a great fabricator, Vinny looked like he just got fed up in the end.

[Dogsled]

After watching this this and seeing Jr and his wife, I got flash back of John Lennon and Yoko... she was on camera for no reason! 😄😄😄

It's an impressive video because of how many different ways the narrator can pronounce Teutul.

[billmongiello]

waste of time...no answer to why or how paul was convicted or did he go to jail...thumbs down

[TXHemi]

The constant mispronunciation of their last name almost made me sick, and the chaos of the story line left me thinking "thank God this is over".

[scottr]

Their bikes are no more than what any bike mechanic could build with welding skills.

[JasonGunn]

The father with his ego issue destroyed this show. Jr was building people's dreams with the team that was present. The father totally destroyed this family and show.

[leonanderson]

Rick was the best fabricater at OCC and vinnie A good builder making them the most valuable people at OCC...
And I liked Cody...
Very sad how OCC destroyed it's self...

[peterscully]

I nearly passed this by as there are so many pathetic "where are they now" vids on YouTube.
Thank you for an informative and as positive as possible update on this great show.
