I could care less about the drama between Jr and Sr and the loser Mikey and his substance abuse problems… They make great bikes and I’d wish they concentrate on builds and keep the personal problems private.
I always change the channel when they start talking about something else not related to bike builds… HINT to producers
I love the way Paul Jr.’s bikes look it’s great.
let’s face it Senior is an abuser. His personality stemming from drugs and alcohol shows an anger that never abated so he takes it out on his kids. I don’t know how any could stand being with the man for five minutes. Having said that he had a son who could build $150,000 bike and yet he screams at the guy for not sweeping the floor. If Paul Jr. wasn’t there he’d probably hire someone to sweep the floor at base pay. I think the bottom line is the business got too big, the demands too constant and with Sr.’s personality they were doomed. I hope Jr. goes on his own and as for Mikey, get a damn haircut and start looking like a man instead of a teen. People don’t respect men who still act like little boys, i.e. short pants.
How did Paul Jr afford all the Capital equipment he has in his shop? My guess is he got all of it for free in exchange for product placement on tv, that includes his two Toyota trucks. Anyone could have a successful business if they didn’t have to pay for anything ..
I’m not sure he didn’t have to pay for anything, but I’d bet better than even money he got some very attractive terms. I’ve never seen a start up shop where they can afford to roll in a 5 axis water jet machine before they even get the power turned on.
What matters is that it was jr’s idea to do “Theme Bikes”–which put OCC on the map and made the company millions. Hopefully, one day SR will be mature and humble enough to say that it was his son’s creative vision for bikes that brought him all of the millions. I don’t get it how a father can act the way he does, and come across as very jealous. He seems to have a bad inferiority complex and isn’t in touch with reality. Tomm many but kissers in his shop. Jim Quin, Jason, Amarati wouldn’t be there if it was for Jr. The whole thing is pathetic.
The father son bickering is just pointless and I could care less about it. But no matter what you think about either individuals as persons or workers, the one thing that stands out plain as day are the bikes. And Jr.’s bikes are just second to none, they are bad ass. The kid is talented.
I am impressed by Paul Junior’s attitude in not saying anything derogatory about his father. He remains focused in producing a quality product and not paying any attention to what his father says or does.
Good luck Paul Junior you have the right attitude to become one of the best bike builders in the world.
Does Senior recall anything? The Pontiac Bikes we’ve never built 3 at a time before. Byron Nelson Bikes you steroid using moron. If he doesnt lie in every episode now I am shocked. And his main Yes BOY Thats right Moreau I said Boy you drove one business underground now you help the Old Man again
They need to get more hardcore designs
all i can say is how can a&e go after jr with all the companys that dont want them and put it on tv when you know occ has the same thing but isnt on tv? a&e if you keep doing that by chosing sides its gonna get messy. find another way to up your ratings. you better watch your cars!!!!
Paul Sr. should have transitioned himself OUT of complete control and given Paul Jr. the reigns…..it’s blatantly obvious that Paul Sr. has a problem with his son & his talent and regardless of how much is done for TV….that’s as plain as day. There’s no comparison to how Paul Jr. runs things and Paul Sr……all he does is come across as a has-been that’s literally in a competition with his son which is sick on multiple levels.
Junior puts out awesome bikes, no doubt about it. But he does NOTHING himself. He brings in that kid to do all the sheet metal
JR puts out great bikes no doubt about it, but he doesn’t do anything himself anymore
He hires that kid to build all the tanks and do all the sheet metal work. He buys his wheels and just bolts them on. He buy all his frames in front ends. He has great ideas and is a great assembler, but he doesn’t build anything. It is what it is.
Bob I don’t think we look at the same program but the one that I look at shows me that JR has a lot of talent because when he start to buildt a bike he has no real design but design as he goes along where SNR uses tegnolegy but still JR buildt’s better looking bikes than SNR and regarding the work he does?????????????? who buildt’s SNR’S tanks and frame’s whether some one else buildt’s the tank JR is the designer
Do Nothing? Paul Jr is the Creative Director. The idea man. He gets it done. Go Pauley, I got your back.
From one Creative Director to another
Jr wouldn’t even have a company if didn’t get all that free equipment from companies that want product placement on TV, including the Water Jet machine. If he had to use his own money to purchase the capital for his company, he would be out of business….
I agree, he is a great Creative Director, he puts out great looking bikes, but he’s nit a bike builder, he doesn’t fabricate anything himself, he buys all the accessories and bolts them on, or hires someone else to fabricate gas tanks.
Bob, I totally agree with most of what you say regarding PJD as a startup business. I also agree with you that he has a lot of talent as a designer. However…
Before you say that he’s “not a builder” or “doesn’t fabricate”, go back and watch some of the very early AC shows. He did the Black Widow bike almost completely by himself. That includes cutting, reshaping and re-welding both the tank and fenders, rolling and welding the pencil rod (which, if you know anything about that type of metal work is extremely difficult to get right) and then he did a lot of the mechanical assembly. And he did it, by the way, without a water jet, CAD or any other of the higher tech toys both PJD and OCC have in their shops.
That he chooses not to do that kind of work now is, I expect, a business choice. I am most definitely not a fan of his, but he is most definitely capable of doing the work.
