I'm so enjoying the fact OCC are going down the pan and the fact senior has no clue it's because Jnr has gone. I can't believe he thinks that the companies success isn't down to Jnr
Yeh he frustrates me!
You can clearly see that Jnr was the innovator! The fans know it, what were the biker build of results? Something like 96% to 4% in Jnrs favour? Snr tried to get the results hidden as he knew they were bad, and OCC nearly went under not long ago. Jnr is an amazing talent, and I think his company will soon be the leader and OCC will all but an old brand name.

Occ are still making plenty money from what I can make out. Still a massive brand and they are a bike manufacturer, they don't just make the odd one.

Yeah OCC are still making a good chunk of money.
The whole they are going bust was all due to restricting. They had loan on the building for X million and the building was worth way less than X million so they realized they were better off just walking away. In the end they agreed to pay a lesser price for the building. At no time would they have gone bust they would have just moved shops.
Really like PJDs 9/11 bike. Was very clever.
Also have to say that NUBs work recently has been stunning. I was not sure what went on with him and OCC but he's blatantly using it as a chance to say "Look at this - this is what your missing out on"

In one of the new episodes Jnr modifies a Mustang. He tries to see if taking part of the company a new way will work.

If you watch the series, you'll see Snr has to let go a lot of staff as he says they may not survive. For this reason they gave up the Ducati license and slashed the production of bikes to a small few compared to previous. He thought they were going go under. Still make money though as you say.

American Chopper used to be great when it was a documentary about designing and building motorcycles. Now it's a soap about a dysfunctional family, it's
