Who's side are you on? I personally think that Sr. cant build a bike even worth talking about in front of his son. Sr. might have sparked the fire to that company, but Jr. basically threw fuel on top of it. He took that company to new heights and put them on the world map. AND I LOVE THAT DAMN BLACK WIDOW BIKE!!!

Team Jr / i can relate to the father son relation displayed on the show (sucks)

Who cares they all look the same

**Knight** · 07-20-2010, 03:58 AM

That show is still on?

**whitelightnin99** · 07-20-2010, 08:06 AM

i used to like that show but yeah it does seem too planned out or something anymore to really enjoy it like i once did. hard to explain but it just aint the same

Sr. is duechebag, he has property not to far from me, maybe 15miles away. I see him in the local restaurants once and a while, total asshole who thinks he's mister important, a young kid might ask for an autograph and he has said things like pay me first before.

His bikes were and still are a joke, he used to use this guys tank and this guys frame, and this guy made these wheels, he did nothing in house. They've become better, but i refuse to support them.

**whitelightnin99** · 07-20-2010, 08:22 AM

ive met Jr. and Sr. and they seemed ok but definitely get the impression they can be assholes.. but cant everyone?

**ibanez7** · 07-20-2010, 08:28 AM

West Coast Choppers for the win... Jesse James knows how to build bikes and monsters, fuck girls and fuck up his life.

Jr and Sr, both blow at building bikes. I saw one episode where they where using a hammer to press in a bearing. Even if you dont have the right tool to press a bearing everyone knows you use a socket that matches the OD of the bearing.... you strike the socket not the bearing

lets mushroom a bearing and take that bike for a ride.... dumbass....

funny note, is Jason Pohl is my gf cousin.. hes a total tool. Also the software OCC uses for design, is the company i work for. lol

Kat Von D has stated she cant watch her show b/c Discovery/TLC manipulates the hell out of the footage editing and re-editing it to make things seem more dramatic and crazier then they really are. While her show is harder to script then American Chopper they have been spending less and less time on the tattoos and more on the drama lately. Ive noticed its been the same with the OCC guys. Its been more about Sr/Jrs split and argument then the bikes.

here is the funny part... Him and I do the same type of work.

we are both industrial designers, and use the same design softare, i work for the company direct, where he is one of our customers, along with Incredible technologies.

I was almost interested in seeing about working with him at OCC, however he would be my boss. NO WAY....

**wheeliE-maxx** · 07-20-2010, 09:15 AM

ahh, so you could do that stuff aswell. Burn all bridges then

**Grimpala** · 07-20-2010, 09:16 AM

I have yet to see what building shitty bikes and creatings tatoos have to do with learning? if I'm not mistaken TLC is an acronym for 'The Learning Channel" Not much learning going on there.
