OCC Choppers butt ugly! : V-Twin Forum: Harley Davidson Forums

FLHTDan · 03-22-2009, 07:01 PM

I just finished watching the OCC show cause there is nothing else on and I like watching bikes being built. My god, these guys build some of the most stupid, butt ugly bikes I have ever seen, and they all look alike too. They don't have a clue what an old school bike looks like.

Paul Senior claims to be a big fan of Old School-style bikes. OCC has a whole line of them. Paul Senior is a blowhard and a giant PITA, and I wouldn't buy one of OCC's bikes, but I can't agree that "they all look alike."

Hey, they do make some ugly bikes for some of their paying customers. But thats the thing they are getting paid to do it for some of the stupidest CO's. Like the Ten Pin Bike with the bowlig ball Gas tank!

They have had some really Awesome bikes come out of there also! But like I said its hard to build a Bike for some of these Companies!

Like some, Hate some! It varies!

I always wished they'd get commissioned to make a Tuck's medicated hemorrhoidal pads bike.

I have to disagree. I just watched the one where they made the "Go Daddy" bike. It wouldn't be a bike I would build for myself but as a 'lobby' bike with the lines, logo, and detail I think it looks good.

Those guys have a lot of fun doing what they do too. If anything I'm envious. Meeting people like Danica Patrick would be a huge bonus.

It amazes me that they have to hammer many parts into place on the final build. Have they not figured out that if it all fits right on the mock up then DON'T PAINT THE MATING SURFACES! Some of the stuff they put out is ugly as homemade sin but some is pretty cool. Personally I liked the Dixie Chopper bike they built with the Guardian twin cylinder lawn mower engine. That was a sweet bike.

I can see Paul Senior and Paul Junior having a shouting match over the shape of the wings ... and why they weren't done yesterday. The whole issue of the color of the Tampax bike's parts would have to be decided separately.

There's a reason Vince and Cody left and hung their own shingle. That stuffs gotta get old. Senior knows as much about fabricating as I do about brain surgery. He'd be out of business without Junior. It's just sad they are so full of themselves now. There 15 minutes is about up. Especially in this economy.

Couple years ago at the Vtwin show, those loud mouths were staying at our hotel, and somehow they were yelling at each other about their room number. So after my crew had our $25 per plate breakfest, we charged it to their room.
Thats the only good thing I have to say about them or thier bikes!

Took my Daughter to the Ringling Bros BB Circus a month ago. They had the OCC Circus theme bike there. Simple bike, but I must say, the paint job, was awesome.

i saw them in person at the expo in nyc. the javit center one... you had to buy a 50 dollar Tshirt so they would sign it. you couldnt just go up there and have anything signed... there bikes are stupid. nuts, unreliable, and they make a mockery of bike builders. and the only people that were bike "builders" were vinny, and cody. they wanted to make the parts. sr. jr. only wanted to put the parts on the bike... went to there shop on the way back to syracuse, never saw a bike. but tons of tshirts and ugly ass shoes and hats.... worthless waste of building space...

I personaly would like to see more build offs, and less of american chopper. They just got lucky and were chossen for the show. There are many way better builders out there. Occ is just a mom and pop that got wal mart status.

A huge ego "comes with the territory" when a person becomes famous. Most all famous people can be 'full of themselves' while a very few might remain 'regular people'.

Human nature.

I'm not real fond of the bikes they build, but I would trade places with them without hesitation!
