Where did Vinnie go? Ever since the American Chopper episode where it was revealed that Vincent DiMartino was leaving for greener pastures and new opportunities, fans of the show have wondered what he was up to. The answer is that he's still building custom motorcycles, just for his own company: V-Force Customs. Not only that, but Cody Connelly, also from Orange County fame, has joined forces with Vinnie in the creation of their own custom bike operation. The company is currently working on its shop in New York, but plans to introduce its first bike at Daytona Beach for Bike Week 2008. February 29th is coming up pretty quickly, so we should be getting some more information soon enough. After touring for a year, the dynamic duo will be giving the bike to one lucky customer.

If you're interested in knowing more, the company has set up a web forum, and it appears that both Vinnie and Cody occasionally make it there to communicate with fans directly. Considering that Vinnie was one of the best things about OCC, we are pretty sure he'll do alright for himself and look forward to seeing his first solo effort in Daytona.

Vinny and cody opened up another shop about 3 miles from the new store.Vinny's father owns a golf course in town...I forgot the name of the place they opened.They had a big sign out in front of their new store....I go by it everyday and the past few weeks its down...not sure if they went out of business ...cody was in my daughters class...my daughter was on the bus that he got on as they filmed.It was about cody in school....but they edited it out...vinny was pretty down to earth..he left because he was promised more money and wanted some residuals...mikey promised him that but Senior controls everything and said no...

I saw a commercial tonight where Jr. is opening his own bike shop to compete against Sr./OCC. I'm sure the tv guys didn't egg that one on. Box, any insight into the newest wrinkle/family fight?

anyone watching the new series? Still quite a bit of drama but they are actually focussing more on the bikes, which is better than the last 2 seasons.
