The most level-headed and sanest of the bunch. Glad to see that Vinnie is still out there, and away from the drama. Good moves. Best wishes.

U da man Vinnie, you were always my favorite on the show and the only level headed one out of the bunch. Glad to hear you're doing what you love to do. Peace and good health brother.

Vinnie, so happy you posted this update and both you and your family are doing well! You and Jr were my favorites and I know God will always reward you with your honest, high-quality work Keep on keepin’ on!!!

It's great to see you back Vinnie! Thank you for sharing your story and I'm glad you found your place career wise doing what you love. Life is too short, we need to spend the time that we have doing what makes us Happy the most. If I only lived closer to your shop I would bring my car there for repairs, but I am a fan living here on the West Coast. Cheers!

'Always said you were the only one in that bunch of OCC men-children that ever showed class or genuine engineering skill sir! Hope you do well my friend!

Funny. I was just thinking "I wonder how Vinnie's been doing" and this video shows up. Good to see ya, man. Glad you're doing what you want to.

By far the most humble and talented member/mechanic of the American Chopper crew. Glad you're enjoying life Vinnie...you deserve it!!

You were my favorite one on the show. Looks like you did most of the work there. You are so right about how Hobbies turn into jobs and it's not as enjoyable anymore. Thanks for the years that you were on the show. I'm glad you're happy now doing what you love to do. God bless you and your family.🇺🇸👍

Glad your doin good Vinnie! Never understood combining drama and custom fabricating to make a successful tv show. I just enjoyed watching the bikes slowly coming together and the ride at the end! Peace!

Vinnie you were always my favorite on the occ show anyways its good to see you

this is the most honest and straight forward interview ive heard from a car or bike builder. thankx!

Vinnie you held you cool through out the shows, I have always had my respect! The best to you

Vinny I'm happy you have your own shop. And your doing well you deserved it. Thanks for being one of the good guys.

You're the best, Vin! Glad I stumbled upon your channel.

Going to work Happy. Sir, you have hit the jackpot.

Way to go Vinnie! You and Rick were the only reason I watched the show, oh,& Mikey.

I always liked Vinnie on the Original show. He knew how to put Paul Sr in his place!!!

Hey V. I'm so glad you have your business !!!

You are my favorite person from OCC. Glad your doing well. I was always amazed how well you kept your cool during the filming of that show. Wish nothing but the absolute best for you and your family! Thanks for your time.

Great to hear your happy, Vinnie!! Loving what you do is the most important thing in life next to your health, of course!! And it sounds like you're there, my friend!! All the best!!

Thanks for doing this Vin. So awesome to see you uploading videos and answering the questions we all had!

you the man Vinny. always liked you when you did the show. im glad your doing these you tube videos. good luck.

It was an absolute pleasure to watch you and get some updated answers.You look and sound great too.Kudos to you on following your dreams.Bless you and yours Vinnie! ✌

So good to see you Vinnie! Glad things are working out for you! You are my fav out of all the people that was ever on the American Chopper show! I do hope you continue to prosper my friend. So glad to see you are doing well!!

You were one of my faves on the show I’m glad to see your doing your own thing

I remember growing up watching the show with my dad. We both loved Vinnie, his work was amazing, didn't add drama, and was very professional.

More power to you Vinnie!!! Its a great feeling to get up every morning and do what you love. May your blessings continue.....

Your work has inspired me since '03! I have to admit, at first I was bummed that the original shop split up. But it is great to see that everyone is happy and going down their own creative paths! So glad that you are doing what you love. Good for you!

Often times you ruin hobbies by turning them into work... well said 👍🏽

Dude you were the best part of that whole show. Your awesome

I used to watch the tv show from History channel here in Brasil (funny the name of the show was Son vs Father haehehaehh) and I'm very happy to see you fine, healthy and smiling. I loved the tv show and especially your profisionalism, love and dedication to built all bikes when you were working on OCC shop. God bless you man, you are a great person!

Happy to hear where you are now in your career. That’s everyone’s dream to wake up and go to work in which you love! Cheers!

One of the nicest level headed guys out there.

"It's not like it's a hobby and I was funding it with another business I had" --- Very subtle shot at OCC, well played Vin!

Hey Vinnie. I started watching American Chopper right from the beginning and always enjoyed watching you work, along with the dynamic you brought to that show. You were by far the best part of that show, period. It was interesting to hear how your work life has progressed since those days and that you're doing something you truly enjoy these days. I've always thought highly of you and this video once again reinforces why I do. Keep up the good work and I wish you continued success!

Oh wow, it's so good to see you again!😁 I've wandered how everyone was. I haven't been able to watch the show for a long time. But when I did it was for the most part very interesting.. I love to see people who are very creative. And boy,,,,,, were you guys! I love to see what everyone would come up with. I've wandered how everyone's family have been too. I just hope everyone is doing well. Take care and God Bless!

Good luck Vinnie, you’re a class act dude

Holy crap Vinnie...i watch KZfaq all the time and I just ran across your channel. Hell yeah you were the only real worker at OCC. Glad to see you're doing well. Proud of ya !

Congrats Vinnie! Looking forward to see more videos. I was always a huge Vinnie fan. It's not the show that makes a show good, it's the people... and you are good people. Thanks for all the laughs over the years.

Good for you buddy, you seem to be a straight forward and down to earth person and deserve nothing but the best!!! Regrads from Spain.

Vinnie! Good to see you man! I havn’t seen you since the American chopper show. Not long after that I pretty much got away from tv and have been focused on KZfaq and my own channel. It’s great to see you on here too. I look forward to seeing uploads from you bud. 👍🏻

Man that's a trip I came across this video always thought you was the cool one man. You got yourself a new subscriber

In any given circus it's the guy who feeds & waters the elephants without recognition that is more important than any of the clowns. Having not watched the last years of the show I admit to having wondered what you'd done after it all fell down. It's a pleasure to see how it all turned out... congrats bruddah

Hey Vinnie. Glad to see you smiling and being happy doing what you're doing. Good for you! Keep up the good work. 👍 Wish you and your family well. God bless. 😉

Great to see you truly contented with you life and work, Vinnie. In the show, you always came across as a calm, level-headed, skilled and principled guy. Good to know that all that is still strong in you.

For younger guys... what Vinnie said is so true- "I go to work everyday happy, and that's what's important." Gold. That's where you will spend most of your life.

Really great to see you're doing well Vinnie. You were always my favorite on OCC.

Good to see you again Brother and good to see you're in a good place. Watched every episode of OCC from here in the UK. All the best, be safe :)

Down to earth and explains that TV show businesses aren't real businesses.

I'm glad to hear that you have started working for your own dreams instead of the dreams of that family

Vinnie Thank you for sharing your talents with the viewers, I was always amazed with your work.. I miss watching the custom bike building process. Bless you and your family indeed....

Good for you Vinnie! Glad to hear you are doing something that you love and it makes you happy! If I l;iced closer I would definitely have you do all the work on my vehicles and motorcycle. Keep on keep’in on my friend! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Stay safe out there.

Vinnie you rock dude. Good Luck & GB it's all about living and having FUN !! When it's Fun it's not work..lol

Vinnie whats up, hey i got to meet u nd cut ur hair at my barber shop in el paso tx a few years ago...ur a nice guy bro, very down to earth. Glad to see ur doing well. Take care.

Congratz man! Glad you got your own thing going. You've got way too much talent to waste on someone else's dreams. Way to go!

Great to hear you are enjoying life. Life is a journey! Be safe Vince!

Vinnie DiMartino hey bro not trying to bother you...but u gotta keep uploading everyday when people see this is your page your subscribers are gonna skyrocket I saw your page for the first time today and subscribed..when I did u had over 18 thousand subscribers and now (a couple hours later) u got over 20 thousand...so glad I found this page im a huge fan keep it up brother

Hi Vinnie I'm a viewer in the UK and so Happy to hear that all is now good for you and your family nowadays, quality of life should always take priority in my view . I was an avid viewer back in the time as am from an engineering back ground , (prototype parts for Rolls Royce, Aston Martin , Lotus and a few years machining on the F1 side Lotus, Aston Tickford and Cosworth ) very much enjoyed each episode until a time i recall SNR didn't want you to go early either just before or after your wife gave birth to one of your children ! Fairy early days i think ! Its the day i lost respect for SNR ! His EGO became fare greater than his body mass i my view. You and a very few others made that company and gave it a reputation that they clasped hold on for as long as they could . Regards Jules

Good for you man . Way to fly . I’m sure your family appreciate you for that. Good luck in all you do brother.

Good for you and Congratulations!! Nothing better than self employment at a craft you love. I watched that show and was truly amazed you stayed as long as you did. You and Rick have the patience of oaks!! Good life!

glad to see you happy, your a class act!!!!

Hey Vinnie! Love this video and appreciate you taking time to answer these questions :) new sub here :)

Hi Vinnie, just stumbled on this video. I wanted to let you know that I enjoyed you on the show, it is nice to hear you moved on to do your own thing. It is not often that you can find a good garage to have your car worked on. I hope you and your shop are very busy, and well supported by the community you live and work in. All the best in the future and have a great summer. BTW as a fan I appreciate you answering the question about how and what you are doing. With the show back on tv playing re-runs I am sure it stirs up good and bad memories. Stay strong Halifax, Canada

What always struck me on the show was that you were the pay attention to task, steady force in the middle of a hurricane. Really enjoyed watching you.

They should give vinnie his own show

It is plain for anyone to see you're a good guy. Many of us really liked you on the show because of that fact. Personally I think it is a huge mistake to stay away from the return of that show, (or any show) but I certainly admire that you are being true to yourself. I believe you will always be successful at whatever you do... it is a blessing to be able to earn a living at something you enjoy. You seem to really have it together. Talking to your fans and such as in this video is another mark in your good book. I tip my hat to you brother !!

Glad that you are happy to go to work everyday. Sure does make it easier. Glad you are doing well and always loved your honesty on the show.

Glad to hear that you are doing your own thing and liking it Vinny. Best of luck to you in your business.

Glad to see the old saying is true: "Good things happen to good people"

Hey Vinnie, glad to see your doing good on your own, how many employees or mechanics does your autoshop have besides you?

Good to hear from you, Vinnie--you were always the most sane on the show. Best of luck to you in the future.

Hey Vinne, glad to hear you are happy with your new career. You are so right, the most important thing is to enjoy what you are doing.

Vin, Vin...Cars Were Pretty Much Your Thing !!! Your A Hell Of A Craftsman...I'm 55, My Pops Always Had Mad RESPECT FOR YA, Cause You Were 1 That Did All Or Most Of Wireing !! & Thats 1 Of Pops Thing Also, Very Teteis. & Alot A Patience, Good Hear From Ya, Hope Fam Is Good !! B.Safe..Peace

Good for you Vinny maybe someday you will have a show of your own i would watch it

So glad you are happy. You are 100% right when you say, it's important to be happy in what you do. Hope you and your business are very successful..

Hey Vinnie! I'm glad you're working things out for what you want to do in life!! Stay strong my friend, you have MANY supporters!!

Wow brother 3/4 million views in under a week! Incredible! Just goes to show how there are people who want to see and hear a stand up family man with real talent, and whose funny too.

Vinnie...America always had your back. I'm a manual and cnc machinist/set up/programmer. Short run cnc prototype is my favorite. I never knew you were into the machinist side of it. Get your cnc's. Isn't it cool to turn an idea into a part. It was cool watching your video. Get your own show on TV and call it Vinnie's Machine. You already have an audience.

Hey Vinnie. I just want to say how nice it is to stumble across your sight. As soon as I found it I subscribed. You probably hear this a lot but I think you were the main reason both of those two t.v. shows made it as big as they did. I don't know what your channel is about. But it will be nice to watch you work agsin!!

Hey Vinnie, just came across your channel. I always thought you were extremely under utilized on the show and by that family. Glad to see you chasing your own dreams now. Good luck in all you do.

Follow your dreams not someone else’s ....👍🏻

Awesome Q&A Vin! So do you do general repairs, domestic and foreign? Do you do any up fits or custom work on older vehicles, lift kits modifications etc?

Good for you bro. I watched occasional from day 1. And I know you built that show! Keep on keepin on brother. God bless you and yours!

Loved you on the show, glad to hear that you have your own shop and loving it!

Yo, bro Vinnie!! "I love going to work every day..." Enough said.

Vinnie and Rick were always my favorites. I guess I like people who actually get the work done.

God Bless you Vinny, Its cool to stumble over this video while scrolling and hear that your doing well. TV can destroy people, families, friends and so on. Glad your making out well in your own business rather then dealing with BS and dead lines like years ago with OCC. Any way best of luck from a old fan .Bill

Wishing you well mate, Wouldn’t be easy doing that show and building bikes having the drama side of it. Glad to see you have found a happy place but with lessons learnt ❤️

Vinnie made the show for me. He made it interesting and there was no drama with him.

Glad you and Rick got out.

You were always my favorite on the show. So glad you were able to do your own thing and be successful. Congrats!

From one man to another. Whatever you wanna do is what you do. Long time American Choppers TV show fan. After awhile, we kind of enjoyed the craziness in the show. Paul and jr never truly appreciated you contribution to the spectacular builds. Again, you had input to the ending result of some of those builds. True Dat! You were the reasonable, logical, and keeper of the peace individual of the show. Don't ever forget that. Not that you care, o ly because that's what all of viewers loved. You are a creative customizer/fabricator more than some reality TV guy. Rock on man!

Yes, working to pay the bills and hobbies on the side.

you seems to be such a nice guy Vin, that's why i like you :) i wish you the best man !!

Thank you for you work. Your peace of mind is the best way to go. 20 years ago I quit a company and started my on and it's hard at time but the peace of mind is well worth it all.

Glad to hear that you're finally happy Vinnie. You could tell watching the show how unhappy you was. I was always impressed by how knowledgeable you are. Hope your channel does well and you continue to make vids.

I have a VForce hat, pretty well worn..... You, Rick, and Mikey were my favorites on the show. Best of luck!

I miss seeing you.. but truly happy your doing good.. Im not sure you can answer me, but is Rick around? God Bless to you and family..

Nice to see you again Vinnie and good to see you are independent and enjoying your work!

The world misses you Vinnie, you are a good man and when all the drama was happening, everyone wondered how it would affect you. Wishing you all the best!
