Driving into a pond means not being able to drive well? Perhaps he just made a bad decision.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eag ( talk • contribs) 14:12, June 7, 2006
The following text is a direct snatch from the OCC webpage at [23]. Please don't revert the copyvio tag until this is addressed.
Like his brother, Mikey went to work for Orange County Ironworks at age 12, working on and off until he graduated from high school. From there he went on to community college, but after a series of zeroes he realized it wasn't quite his scene. It was back to Dad's company.
Mikey toiled at Ironworks until he turned 20 and moved to Tempe, Arizona, where he had six different jobs in five months:
* Bouncer at a bar, which didn't work out because it interfered with his night life. * Busboy, which didn't work out because he was "treated like crap". * Telemarketer selling cell phones and cell-phone services, which didn't work out because he hates being bothered at home by telemarketers. * Valet parking attendant, which didn't work out because they made him run... and shave. * Movie-theater guy, which was enjoyable because he didn't really do anything but see free movies.
But overall, Arizona wasn't quite Mikey's pace either, so New York beckoned once his money ran out...
Back at home Mikey did carpentry with a friend for a year before again returning to Orange County Ironworks and working with his brother Daniel. Then, after two years of a job that was "unrewarding, cold and cruel," he went to a tavern one January night and met the man who would advocate his hiring at Orange County Choppers: Rusty, a.k.a. Russell Muth, producer of American Chopper.
Mikey was soon on board at OCC, answering phones, picking up parts, popping bubble wrap and taking out the trash. But within two weeks of his new job he was already on the road attending bike shows with his brother and father, and his stand-in was already out performing him. So while he has two people working under him now, he's not quite sure what his job is anymore. But does that really matter?

After watching the show many times, I feel Mikey is a bit soft in the head. Especially when put next to the sharp Paul Jr. And it always seems his father cuts him alot of slack for this reason. But maybe that's just the persona Mikey likes to project on the show. -- Jquarry 05:32, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
Does Mike know how to build a motorcycle? I really dont get his so-called Art. It would help him in life, if he has some real skills, like some metal-fabrication skills. Paul Jr. sometimes needs an attitude adjustment, but Paul Jr. has actual skills. 206.192.35.125 ( talk) 19:28, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
I moved the image of Mikey on his scooter from the middle of the page to the infobox as there wasn't one there, feel free to change it back though. Anyone have a picture of Mikey from the front to put in the info box? Paul, Sr. and Jr. have good pictures of themselves from the front but Mikey's picture is from the side. This one would be good, anyone know if it can be used? Davek92 ( talk) 04:31, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
Can someone familiar with Mikey please have a look at his section in American Chopper. I suspect that most of the claims are fabricated, especially his academic claims. FFMG ( talk) 13:28, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
