    Probably not. Not because of the drama or characters but mainly since they are not really innovative on the engineering and their builds. When it comes to watching build Sands and Rooke are much more innovative.

    I dig this show. I'm pulling for Jr.

    Notice every time Sr. speaks about Jr. it's nothing but negativity?

    If they make "Free Rick" t-shirts I'd laugh my ass off! If Rick bails on OCC and teams with Jr., ...Sr. is royally screwed!

    It's great to see Vinnie back, but whats happens to Cody?

    Just got done watching the new episode....it was good but I was hoping to see some bike building at Jr. designs. I guess we'll have to wait till' next week.
    They are going to build a "shop bike", sounds interesting from the ideas they had said in this show. Hopefully after this bike is done, they will have customer bikes to build, and start pulling in some money.

    Yeah I'm not sure about Cody. I remember reading on a website that said he would come back to work with Jr.
    Maybe we will see him come along later this season?

    It was a good show, but it really sucks to see Jr. struggling to get started. However, I'm sure Paulie and Vinnie will do very well for themselves!

    I'll have to drive by the shop this weekend, see how things are actually going! ;)

    I have to agree about Sr's bikes.Run of the mill cookie cutter bikes.Company theme bikes with logos and junk.Be creative and start showing customer bikes.A better show back in the day was the biker build off with guys like Indian Larry.That was a designer.

    It's good to see that Jr. is building a bike for himself. That's exactly what I said he should do when the new show started. This will be a great example of what he is capable of doing without the previous restraints of working for his Dad. He needs to build something so radical that it gets attention so that others gain interest in his new shop. Hopefully he debuts it at some big show. Just from his basic design and description from tonight's episode it'll be crazy and sick and once again set the bar higher. Jr. is very innovative and all about whats new rather than whats been done before and I like that about him.

    OCC is still making killer bikes because Sr. has an outstanding staff around him. Rick, Mike and Christian have filled Paulie and Vinnie's shoes quite well. Jason is a great designer, but is also a total dork.

    Anybody notice that Odie was on tonight's episode yet we still have to see Cody?

    I don't live near the shop, but I know EXACTLY where it is. I checked it out when it used to be the old OCC shop. It's cool seeing all the things they do on TV, as well as all of their crazy cars/trucks/bikes outside.

    And what I think is going to be hard for Jr. is creating a bike that "wows" the public. Yes, the Black Widow bike was sweet (looks even better in person!), but I think it was the Fireman bike that really helped put OCC over the top, specially since it was dedicated to the victims of 9/11 which was recent at the time.

    My stepmom's parents live less than a mile from their old shop. I've been to their little retail shop and seen a few of the bikes they built. This was about 5 years ago though so I think the newest one in there was that hideous Christmas bike they built. Pretty cool to see though.
