VermontHunter Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 Cool .. :cool2::cool2: So what are those two up to these days ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutchies Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 What happened to them at OCC.............probably guessing another one of seniors power trips like he is on right now with his 2 boys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutchies Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 I just looked it up and it looks like the 2 started their own shop...........good for them. OCC is overcommercialized these days and seems like all they do is trade bikes for something they want. It's not about building the bikes anymore that they want to build and seniors head is bigger than ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VermontHunter Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 What happened to them at OCC.............probably guessing another one of seniors power trips like he is on right now with his 2 boys I would bet these two could build bikes just as nice if not better than the OCC bikes, if they had the backing that OCC has from corporate TV ...

I'm sure...........Vinnie and Cody are the 2 that started the shop. Senior just flat ticks me off when I watch that show........It's all out I,I, and I when he is talking. He built this company, he built the show, he built OCC to what it is. Hate to tell him but if not for Jr he wouldn't be where he is today and I think he gave his boy the short end of the shaft. Jr has more creative talent in 1 pinky that Sr has in his whole body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I concur ,, but I still hold a small amount of reservation for Sr. considering I don't know him personally, and really wonder just how much of that ego is for TV land .. Vinny and Cote have more than what it takes to build bikes that will compete with any OCC bike .. JMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutchies Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 I'm sure alot of that ego is for show. The fights cause drama which ups ratings and he gets a contract next year............I just couldn't imagine being jr and treated the was he is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muff Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 I hear that Jr and Mikey have now left him???? is that right???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutchies Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 Yep............Both were pretty much let go. Mikey's contract ran out and they dropped him. He said they were running him to death doing PR shows when he was under contract. Jr and Sr got into it and Sr fired him. Alot of it came down to dumb stuff like Jr coming in late and the typical stuff that set Sr off. They money guys at the company keep telling him Jr and Mikey were draining him and needed to be let go. Jr is moving on but I don't think Mikey is taking it so well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okiedog Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 Alot of it came down to dumb stuff like Jr coming in late That dumb stuff will get you fired if you work for me as well:whip: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutchies Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 That dumb stuff will get you fired if you work for me as well:whip: There's a difference though in someone working at the hardware store for you and the dumb crap that Sr went off on...........I think the last straw was something like they flew in after a show in the middle of the night and Jr was late the next day. I can understand if you make guys travel all around the globe that they might be late for work. Of course though Okie you have to remember that Sr thinks everything that OCC is exists because of him solely. BTW.........Okie quit being such a slavedriver.............:clown: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimT Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 Cool. I also wondered what happened to them. Where did you meet them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swamphunter Posted June 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 I talked with Vinnie and Cody for a few minutes at a bike rally in Alex Bay NY. They have opened their own custom shop called V-Force Customs. Here is a link to their site. http://www.vforcecustoms.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=29&Itemid=22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

okiedog Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 There's a difference though in someone working at the hardware store for you and the dumb crap that Sr went off on He was always coming in late... even when the show first started. There are people that have a habit of being late no matter what, and he was one of them. Even if you had them start coming in a hour latter, they will come in 10-15 mins past that. The days of the workers thinking they are late in they are not 10 mins early is over I guess. Bad work ethics if you ask me... but you didn't:D.

We walked up and there was one guy getting an autograph and we met him right after that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDAWG Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 SR's head isn't for T.V. only. My wife's mother works for a company in NY that approached them to make a bike for them. They wanted 250K to build the bike and he was making statements that they were bigger than Harley Davidson and crap like that. Her company went to Jesse James and he made the bike for less than 100K and was very pleasant to talk with according to her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
