My daughter wants an autographed shirt from them (who the hell is it supposed to be autographed by anyway?). I must've got old while I wasn't looking... |

Quoted: My daughter wants an autographed shirt from them (who the hell is it supposed to be autographed [b]by[/b] anyway?). [i]I must've got old while I wasn't looking...[/i] it's a shop in Orange County, NY, that puts together custom choppers. Their antics are showcased on a discovery channel show. It's just more "reality" tv crap, as far as I'm concerned and the bikes they make look like they're almost unrideable. |

I don't like their bikes as anything other than artwork, but I must admit that I love the show. FAR better than Monster Garage or any other Jesse-James-related shows. This bike is AWESOME: [img]http://www.orangecountychoppers.com/ver_html/images/bikes/themes/firebike_lg.jpg[/img] |
| Not a slam, but the only people that like the shit they churn out are not motorcycle people. They build the gaudiest bunch of shit on the planet. That includes the "Firefighter" and the "jet" bikes. I can't wait for their 15 minutes to run its course. Look to Billy Lane or Indian Larry for decent designs. |

Guilty as charged. The only time I've ever sat on a motorcycle was one time in a Honda dealership where they had a GoldWing on display. |

Quoted: Look to Billy Lane He was the guy who took all night trying to figure out why the engine wouldn't start right? ... At least 2x IIRC, guy don't know crap about mechanics. Paul Sr- He needs to be put in his place, friggin idiot Paul Jr- Ok designer, has a keen eye. Mikey- WHAT A DICK! Vinnie- This guy is the brains of the OCC outfit! he doesnt get enough credit. Indian Larry- cool guy who knows his way around. Jessie James- great fabricator from scratch, keen eye, but let his reputation go to his head. (all the above IMHO) |

Quoted: Quoted: I've seen the show. It never ceases to amaze me to see that people as loud, obnoxious, and abusive as the dad live long enough to procreate. He's a juicer, what do you expect?

personalities and attitudes aside, at least they are building things and sending work to other american companies. and even though it's on a very small scale it's still a good thing to see something other than sports or entertainment stars getting some mainstream recognition. |
