Now Mike, 58, has enjoyed hanging out with friends at an antique motorcycle meet-up.
The reality star took to his Instagram Stories on Monday to share a series of photos taken during the event.
The TV personality posed on the back of a van with a friend in one picture, writing: “Good times at the Davenport Antique Motorcycle meet. Miss you guys already.”
Mike then shared several more images from the weekend as he embraced his buddies and smiled for the camera.
The father of one also snapped photos of a slew of motorcycles before closing out his montage.
DADDY DAUGHTER DATE
Also over the weekend, the American Pickers star enjoyed quality time with his only child amid a drop in ratings on the Discovery show.
Mike shared a sweet photo with his 10-year-old daughter Charlie while enjoying a summer truck ride.
The reality star took to his Instagram profile to post a snap of the little girl riding in the passenger seat.
She sported a white tee shirt and black shorts while concealing her face with an oversized trucker hat.
Charlie sat with her legs crossed and stretched out her arm to her father.
Mike captioned his post: “One of my favorite things. Riding around listening to the radio with my love. #dashboardspeaker.”
The TV star shares his child with his ex-wife Jodi who he divorced in 2020.
POOR RATINGS
The TV personality’s life updates have followed a severe dip in ratings for his show, American Pickers.
The Discovery program didn’t air an episode on Saturday after ratings plummeted by a staggering 200,000 viewers.
NEW LOOK?
Mike sparked concern over the weekend by looking totally different in a new photo amid the rating decline.
The father of one looked unrecognizable with a clean-shaven look and casual outfit in a snap he shared on Instagram.
The 58-year-old ditched his beard and rocker style for no facial hair and a printed T-shirt and straw hat.
The presenter posed with two friends outside a trailer, writing: “Chilling with @detroit_antique_motorcycles and @michaellange1877 Davenport swap 2022.”
One fan commented: “Gosh he looks so different don’t know if I like it,” while another asked: “Is Mike having a crisis?”
SHOW HIATUS
Mike’s new photo came after American Pickers tweeted that they wouldn’t be airing on Saturday, potentially due to a break for Labor Day weekend.
The post announced: “No new episode of American Pickers this Saturday, so in the meantime, we wanted to share some of our recent picks with a very common theme in color.”
American Pickers has been dropping episodes for season 23 weekly since July 9.
Although after this past week’s episode, the show’s viewers plummeted by a shocking number of 200,000.
The U.S. Sun reported the Saturday, August 27 episode brought in 829,000 viewers.
The drop in ratings was likely due to History airing the new episode at 8pm instead of the usual 9pm slot, a risky move that did not pay off for the series.
Ratings for the History channel show have also been declining ever since fan-favorite Frank’s firing and the new addition of Mike’s brother Robbie.
