What was rather interesting to me, was the way that they would move the rear tire to the left or to the right when ever needed, with out ever lining it up with the front tire. That just don't seem right to me.

Milwaukee Iron on Discovery Channel's show called Southern Steel was a much better show then OCC. Those guys were real good ole' boys.

I feel the same way. When I first started watching before I was riding I really enjoyed it. but it really started to lose itself and the bikes just got boring and the same.

I think that with Vinnie and Cody gone, they are at risk of 'Jumping the Shark'.

I haven't watched the show is awhile. Those were the only two that I enjoyed watching and sometimes Rick. Anyway, they jumped the shark when they moved from their small original shop into the big one.

I just found this on the net. Vinnie and Cody have created their own company and have a website here: http://www.vforcecustoms.com/ I think that those of us that thought they were talented and deserved better should drop them a line of support

Checked out the site....looks interesting. Funny that they're already hawking T-shirts and hats even before the shop is built, let alone any motorcycles....lol its all in the merchandising I guess.

I've gotten bored of it myself as well. When it first started, most of it had to do with building. Now, most of it seems to focus on them doing everyday crap -- going to dinner, skiing, etc. I just want to watch the bike get buit, myself.

Why'd Vin & Cod leave?

I am kind of suprised to find everything but actuall bikes on there...or even sketches of bikes planned...have to leave the jury out for a while I guess.

Some what of a different question, but how many sites do you all look at, I find it much easier to just stay here but I have explored a few sites folks have listed in other posts so today I went out and looked at a few and not sure what to think. It seems to get very diluted going to other sites unless you want to buy something specific. But on the other hand nothing lasts for ever so I wonder if I should start my own site for my blog as Beemerchef has but that is time consuming and most likely costly.
Keep the wheels on the road.

If you want check my blogg at this site.
