The company that shot to fame with their reality TV series and custom chopper bikes has hit a rough patch. Hudson Valley Merchandising, which is the name Orange County Choppers uses for their merchandise division, filed for bankruptcy last week in Poughkeepsie, NY. This comes after last year when the bank, GE Commercial Fiance, took over the gorgeous, all glass building the company calls home in upstate, NY. OCC holding, the parent company, which includes the building of the bikes, is not part of the bankruptcy, however it may just be a matter of time with the way things are going. They were a local brand that became hugely successful and popular so I am definitely pulling for these guys to make it through.
