I didn't have time to stop in today, trying to get home and beat the snow (that didn't exactly work out for me).
It's a little sad, I remember six years ago, when the show was just starting, I could stop by the old shop (part of their metal shop at the time). They would just have the doors open and you could walk in and chat with them.
One morning, I spent about 30 minutes talking with Vinnie before any of the Teutels arrived (he said I'd have to leave if Sr. came in). He was a great guy and just happy to be famous. I remember his answer to my question on whether people walking in and talking to him was a bother. He said "nah, how long do you think this is going to last?".
Shortly after the first season, the cordoned off the shop from the t-shirt sales counter (Jr.s girlfriend and Vinnie's wife manned the sales counter at that time). Than, they opened up a botique clothes only store at the local mall and I stopped dropping by.

Yeah.Yiou guys all hit on the problem in all these posts.I just got sick of watching all of their homes andproperty, and got to thinkin,you can only build so many of thes :choppers"like this especially, and then they are all done. to hard to ride.And when paul JR wanted the boutique crap,that was goin to far and that lazy mikey, i'd have fired him soon as the program started. So the problem being i don't think, least it don't look like any of them saved a dime. You don't keep "ranchs" like that up on unemployment checks.To bad they should have buried their differences and come up with some new stuff for different bikes ,And they they would still be riding the "gravey train". That show on the "full throttle saloon" in sturgess show. That got to me even quicker than "american chopper" . bitchin every episode about there money.And Sports has got enuff time on tv!!!. football used to be monday nite football..now its saturday, sunday nie.all three nites Thats a bit much. they always over do the shows. survivor is gettin the same way ...but she luvs it.so i have to watch some of it. i bought her her own flat screen.shes all set now 
sorry!!
