Now who didn't see this coming? Values his motorcycle business at $0. Possibly overvaluing it. Had a great run and spent it all.

Ah, so that's why they're back on TV!

I predict a very short run for this latest season, although I do wish Sr, Jr and their families well.

I watched that show a few times years ago. The choreographed rehearsed never ending squabbles between them became really old, really fast and I just stopped watching.

They beat that shtick to death.

These guys were skilled craftsmen. They were not smart businessmen. With the revenues generated from the TV show and endorsements, they should be thriving.

I wouldn’t ride one of their theme bikes if you paid me.

A few years ago, I was in the hospital for almost two months. Nothing else to do, I started watching 'American Chopper' and 'Sons of Guns'.

American Chopper was a soap opera set in a motorcycle shop.

Sons of Guns was a soap opera set in a gun shop.

It kind of sounds like they filed for chapter 13 reorganization rather than chapter 7..

It means they’re trying to get their Ducks lined up again rather than just writing everything off

Harley Davidson just closed their 10 year old plant outside Kansas City and over 800 employes were sent packing. Millenials dont ride motorcycles, apparently. Must be too busy playing video games.

I didn’t particularly care for their bikes.

To theatrical. Not enough grit.

They made one for the 9/11 Museum Store in NYC that pretty much summed up everything I dislike about OCC and the 9/11 Museum Store in NYC.

I remember seeing on one of the shows that Paul Sr had a big Texas long horn Steer (bull?) on his NY state property and thinking that was his jump the shark spending moment. Surprised this didn’t happen sooner but I wish them all well.

OCC bikes looked great on TV but the craftsmanship was lousy when viewed in person.

Boomers are too old to buy motorcycles

The market is saturated

Ask Harley Davidson

I didn’t know them at all, although I’ve seen the t-shirts.

Might be a nice bike for a fisherman, with the fish skeleton on it. Maybe re-do the handlebars to look more like fishing poles and mount the headlight on a large reel.

Vance and Hines, makers of after market products for Harley's, is in bankruptcy.
