Shaq was incredible on the show. He needs his own reality show.
First segment was awesome, talk about the build, show the OCC jig with handlebars and height and length, it was great build TV. First commercial aired. Next segment, bull**** blowing **** up. maybe 5 seconds talking about the build. Third segment, more bull****, build a cannon basketball launcher to blow up the now hollow core birch 39.00 menards door on sr's office. Fourth segment, show sr out in florida at boat races, supposedly smoozing a possible client, leaves the 15 day build for 12 days with 12 days left. Mikey and his cousin ****ing around in charge of the business. The only real incredible **** that happened was mikey showing off his marksman skills shooting 2 liter bottles of pop (no labels, missed on some sponsor dollars there). Last segment with them not figuring out the motor was clearly staged, who doesnt check the schraeder valve first? why wouldnt they just have dropped in another motor?
Mikey really needs a cooking and marksman show.
the bike was more real good engineering to make something that big. The handlebars were just huge, thought they were too much, air cleaner was overkill, paint being just black was kinda lame, even though the superman logos were ok, still could have gone black and gray man of steel with the paint. maybe we will get some closer looks.
again, best part of the show was shaq, he is a mad man.

Thanks Izzy, sorry haven't been around online much. Wow.... Thy really are going to test the wAters to see if a rehash of AC for a bike special. I would like to hope that they find the ratings for bringing the show back to a series now that Junior/Racheal are bringing a new Teutul into the fold.
they aired it again over the weekend and at 7 on monday before Gas Monkeys Tosh 2.0 show.

I missed it.!!! DRAT!! I wanted to see if they tried at least away from the contrived moronics that ended up being a Jack-assed parody of a reality biker program.
Anyways anything that would get discovery to get back to it's former glory would be fine IMHO. When NBC's business network has better auto related programing its time to have a "Come to Jesus" moment.
Finally able to watch it OnDemand. Liked the new style, better footage music, unsure about the strobe-ish after commercial footage of Rick or fabricators making items for build. Hated moronathon of pranks(REALLY??) do they think doing that is going to hold ratings. Honest IMHO it was a 80/100.
I'd like to see more intense focus on build, problem with all in house build, leaves little to watch about cool new products or processes coming out for the motorcycle industry.
Focus on the paint work would be great also. Shame O.C.C. doesn't have someone that has anything close to awesome skills or character like "Nubby" has.
at least they showed that custom jig to fit someone to a bike, that was ok. I dont know, that motor problem made no sense on a brand new motor. seemed kinda staged. Thats what I hate about where these shows have gone, wondering what is made for tv drama and what really happened. I have seen better work from their paint shop, but cutting three more days off the short build really hurt.
They could have let Mikey shoot and cook and left the rest of the **** off. At least the first 8 minutes and last 8 minutes were all bike related.
Watches shaq during the bulls game segments yesterday, he was nothing like how he was on the show.

makey was wearing the vice president nametag. He was in the shop goofing off. He cooked for the crew at the restaurant, set his chefs hat on fire. Made what looked like spaghetti and meatballs and put them on a plate shaped like shaqs dick I think. Saw the balls, everything was blurred out. Went out shooting with sr. was supposed to answer the phone when senior was out of town to update him on the build status but each call was just ringing, the cameras caught it but mikey didnt pick up while goofing off with his cousin.
Thats what he basically did, dont know what he was supposed to be doing.

Totally missed the show. I did see the commercial however. What was Mikey,s involvement? Was he working with Senior t OCC?
Yes El.... Seems lately to be more engaging with both sides of the Teutul family. Saw a post on Twitter or Facebook of the Two boys with each other at a restaurant.
