    AC was never very relevant to bikers regardless ... you watch a couple of episodes, then go back to your WWF or whatever pro rassling is called these days. There were a couple of builds that were pretty okay but when I start seeing ears of corn glued onto a chopper I figure it's all over.

    yeah, i started out liking it but it got old fast. i dont mind fights, hell, they keep things interesting. but its like they stopped actually talking or communicating and just immediately started yelling as soon as they saw each other. look at Springer. that show was hilarious when there was an occasional fight. it was like a nascar race, you sit through all hte boring stuff waiting for hte wreck. but as soon as it became a daily thing it got boring and stupid. same thing with OCC. at first hte fights were entertaining and not all the time. then it just got unwatchable

    Just got done watching the new show, didn't think it was all that bad.
    I didn't like the beginning when they had the radio interview fight, it certainly seemed as if it was staged. Or at least provoked by that radio station. I guess you could say it is a little staged.

    I can't wait to see the new episodes and see what Vinnie and Jr. can come up with, and see if the new shop will grow, or flop.
    Love seeing Vinnie back on, he's the sh*t.

    yea sr seemed as much an asshole as ever. I didnt realize hes suing jr for his 20% and he tried buying that 20% for 0 dollars because occ is worth 0. thats such bs.

    Fully agree, Jr. definitely does not have a good work ethic and Mikey even tough I find him funny, is lazy and ungrateful also their other brother some how manage to ruin the steel business Sr. sold him, business that made Sr. rich....

    I also think they should build bikes like the beginning of the show, they now even use pre-made frames, I remember when they had frames custom made, like the bike for snapon with square tubing.

    Yeah Sr. did seem more like an Asshole on this episode.
    It was weird how he drove by, then drove by again and came back and parked it and gave that interview. But I'm sure it could have been some staging going on by the producers or someone else maybe? But I think he should have at least went down there and see the shop.

    I'm also shocked to find out that it's the other way around on the lawsuit, I thought it was Jr. suing his dad.
    I'm also confused how it's worth 0%, lol?

    I guess we will find out more about that later.

    and that sr paid an appraiser to come in and appraised the company at zero so jr should give his share to sr for free. i thought it funny that jr then said, "if its worth zero, give me your 80%"

    Yeah I am gonna watch. I am kinda hooked on the family. I don't understand how Senior can be so negative about everything with his kids; calling junior arrogant and Mikey fat. With that said anyone know what happened with the lawsuit?

    I just got done watching the show! My thoughts I hope that Jr does well and kicks Sr ass! Sr is a fucking jerk off the way he was talking about Jr and mikey i was like dam what a dick! i could never think my dad would ever say that kinda shit about me! Fathers are there to support there kids no matter what! At least thats how my family has always been! The fact that he is in a lawsuit with Jr. is a joke to me what a dick! All in all i will be watching the show and wishing good luck to Jr!

    im not a chopper kinda guy but those bikes are artwork, not intended to ride. As art, they look good and it takes talent to fabricate those... i give him thumbs up. they arent cookie cutter bikes like OCC
