Ditto to these and everything else said.

I hate reality TV. The programming people need to get a bit more creative.

Goddammit 101, this is the third time this week I agree with you, and it's only Wednesday.

OCC produced nothing but crap. Crap bikes, Crap TV, Crap t-shirts, and Crappy dysfunctional family crap.

The show was a Crap Fest. Craptacular shit wads of crap, designed for crap loving moron Crap-tards.

See but guys. You aren't looking at the larger picture. They made allot of other people rich too. Obviously many employees of discovery made some money and/or employed. However, I strongly believe that they are a large contributor to the chopper craze. Look how many builders made out with that!

Business can cause problems but they had problems to start with. I hope the family still does well. Jr is doing his own thing now. I wonder how that is going.

Their bikes were hideous though and I would hardly call their designs "innovative choppers". I remember one episode they made a bike for some military dude and the guy's initial reaction was like wtf is that.

At a motorcycle show you can generally tell the people who don't actually ride or own a bike. They're the ones wearing OCC t-shirts.

The Teutuls seem to be in the group that believes anything with 2 wheels and a motor is a motorcycle. I tend to think that it also needs to be able to go, stop, and turn.

I agree, but I can appreciate some choppers for "art's sake".

Problem with the OCC crap, is that it didn't even qualify on that basis. A lot of their bikes were just (barely) rolling billboards.

Which means that they were even poor art. Kinetic sculpture should be, well, kinetic.
