Sneak Peak: Orange County Choppers new creation
#41
Say anything you want, assemblers,hacks,but those boys are
knockin down some serious bucks. That aint easy to do in any
type of business these days. Hats of to them for that. Dont forget,
It might be nice to hand fabricate everything,but its harder than hell
to make money doin it.

I like some of what OCC puts out. Check out: covingtonscyclecity.com
Purchased one from them before the chopper craze began. These guys remind me of the guy down in Alabama; Sleeper town, low keyed, great product , does it right!

They do make some inexpensive models. Maybe thats what your friends
had. Don't get me wrong, I have seen some of there bikes I wouldn't
touch. I have a 121 cu in TP motor, Accutronics, Hawg Halters etc.
I just like it and really don't care if other people do.
Again..I got it before all the hoopla. I own it and am glad that if I do
sell, someone could finance if they had to. You can't on a lot of these
customs.

, WTF do you think Harley Davidson, Big Dog, Iron Horse, Bouquet and the rest do, the only way to make money on building customs is to assemble them from somebody else's parts, give it a rest already. jeez

I like member Mike 35 Fountains bike. I know he doesn't care, but I think it's one of my favorite OCC bikes that I have seen.
I don't prefer the theme bikes.
Maybe they can do a KISS bike and they could tie their marketing together.

Unveil it at a concert. Do promos with Paulie and Paul, Mikey and Vinnie in Kiss makeup.
It's a natural.

Some people seem to be too ignorant to understand what a "theme bike" is. If I want a motorcycle for the fire department I want it to signify something to do with "a fire department". I don't want it to look like a crack dealing hells angel's motorcycle...h*ll every custom builder builds one of those
If rotor rootor wants a theme bike it's probably going to look like chit...literally

Be specific, tell us which fellow OSO member that you are calling ignorant.

I wasn't flaming on any individual person in this thread and If it came out that way...sorry. Just general statements that came across in a different manner.
