Anyone watching this? The Caddy bikes they built were sweet, but Jr's blew the old man's bike away.

I've been watching it. I too thought Jr's bike was better than his Dad's.

I do think that his Dad's an ass, which is weird because years ago I couldn't stand Jr. Go figure.

Sr.'s Deadliest Catch bike is fucking awesome. Go to OCC's website if you haven't seen it. I'm a big fan of The Catch, so, I'm biased.

I quit watching it a few years ago cause it was just getting to be the samething everytime you turned it on. I have been watching it recently to catch up on whats been going on. Jrs bike is by far the nicer of the two.

Sr's just jumped to $50,000 then $52,500.

Jr's is now at $508,100.

The online voting for the favorite has Jr 96% to Sr's 4%...(How the might have fallen)

Anyone have a link to see the Caddy bikes? I'm too lazy to google search.

When you have a falling out with 2 or 3 of your children (Sr.'s other son took over his steel business and they didn't talk for years) the problem is more than likely you. Sr. had a really bad problem with alcohol (and probably other drugs) back in the day, and I imagine a lot of the hurt is still there, not to mention it doesn't help to rebuild things when you aren't exactly father of the year.

Not that I think there is any grand master plan, but probably good for Jr. leaving on his own and starting his own business. Great designer, but I don't think he had what it takes to run OCC (after a few years on his own, maybe he will). And, yes, Jr. does make that show (along with Vinny and Rick).

Glad Cody is back with Jr every now and then. Brandon seems to be cool kid too.

I just watched the 2nd episode. I thought Jr's bike was sweet, but I liked the simple look of Sr's too.

Also where did you guys get $500k for a bid? Right now Jr's is at $100k and Sr's is at $15k.

From that same link at the time I posted. It appears the prices have been reset yesterday when I checked. There was also a not there yesterday that the Auction was on hold due to Technical Difficulties.

I had dropped off watching the show but I have been watching the last two seasons. Jr's bike was better by far and Sr. knew it as soon as it pulled up and got dropped down instead of the kick stand.
Sr. seems like such a dbag everytime he talks to the camera he's always dogging his son but when Jr. talks to the camera he just talks about his own business and rarely says anything negative about Sr.....who sues thier own kid?

I think it had something to do with people not having to register before their bids. People were bidding outrageous bids and not going through with them.

Probably so. You think that they would know this would happen as it seems to happen in a lot of celebrity auctions.

I hope Jr does another Caddy bike but in white. That would look sick beside the black one.

Jr's bike was sweet. But I honestly think that if it wasant for Vinny Paul jr would be freaking lost. Vinny knows how to everything.
