RE: OCC -

Sooo...did anyone catch the show Thursday night?
They dragged a GENUINE OLD SCHOOL SOHC
chopper off the roof of the shop, just for grins.
A real chopper. Wrecked.
Do we need to know more about those clowns than that?

I DON'T want to sound like I'm defending them, but they do actually make some stuff.  You can't spend tens of thousands of dollars on a water jet machine and not make stuff.

I will repeat myself.  Volume turned down.  Or better yet(especially if you don't speak Spanish) SAP!!!

Did anyone see OCC's last show? Mikey and Senior decided to make a "Chopper" bike of their own and went to Senior's personal collection of "Old School" bikes to pick one out to modify. They picked and old 750 chopper and brought it back to the shop and proceded to weld modifications on it... Like main and tail rotors and a skid plate. Next they "launched" this bike off the roof by pulling it with one of their $60,000 SUV's of the week! What a waste...

.. That WHOLE SHOW pisses me off.  Bunch of hacks.

I don't watch regularly, but it seems like every show I've seen has somebody #$%*ing about the custom part made to their specs not fitting. tanks, seats, whatever. Are their outside fabricators that bad or can the boys just not measure a frame?

Am I the only one that laughed when dumbass got his hand stuck in the drill press for 10 minutes?

Agreed on the "Bunch of hacks".

I have stopped watching the OCC buffoons.  I would rather watch Jessie James of West Coast Choppers.  His stuff is real unique mainly because he designs and fabs his own frames.

I always thought "old school" referred to people who used common sense and logic on a daily basis and if they ran into a problem they just devised a solution or fabricated what they needed from what they had available. I have seen a lot of innovative sh*t built by ancient mechanics who I would call "old school". Nowadays the term has been degraded my the same clueless idiots who go out and buy a new Harley and a few grand worth of chrome and leather so they can be "bikers" like the idiots at OCC. None of them would survive 2 hours at a biker party of 20 years ago. None of them could fix a bike on the side of the road with nothing but a Gerber multitool and whatever they could scrounge out of the ditch or saddlebags!

There are old bikers and there are bold bikers but there are very few old, bold bikers.

Not doing what you can to make your bike ride-able during the best riding months of the year kind of defeats the purpose of owning it in the first place.
