Default Went to OCC Today!

Yup...I stopped in OCC today and saw some amazing bikes! They were all their, Lance Armstong's, the Make A Wish Bike, Santa Bike, Mets Bike etc....

They are even better in person then in real life. I met Rick and got him to sign an OCC hat.

They have a nice showroom/store that is about a mile or so from the shop. I ran into Rick at the Pizza place next door.

LOL Blake, what are you THINKING. Basically, the thread has no shred of credibility without pics... Wish I was close enough to go check out the bikes. They do great work.

I'm sry but I don't see the big deal about his bikes, he does the same Retro look on every bike, and cuz most of the people at the events are low class white trash they're guna go with what looks closest to the harley...

on the other hand, OCC and some of the other guys from the biker build off make some SICK bikes...

I love the episode where Mikey goes into the OCC gift shop befor ehe goes out to hollywood to see their editing...lol, he's by far the best character on the show!... thats exactly how i'd be if my father and brother fought all the time like that...

My Sidekick2 RIP I would send it via email. I am using my old Nokia which it has bluetooth so I send it to my PC with a Bluetooth Dongle. My phone also has IR infra-red so if you have a laptop that has IR like my IBM has you could send photos like that as well. It all depends on what your phone has.

I gotta stick with OCC being an Orange County boy. A guy my uncle is friends with bought a bike they made not long ago. Very pricey but they do a great job.

Did you just say "dongle"?!?!? haha that's funny man. LOL first time i heard that i'm like "a what?!?!?!"

Oh yeah i'm not too much of an OCC fan...i just think they have the same concept for all their bikes. To me they all look alike....i have to admit though...some of them are very nice. I'm more of a WCC and Choppers Inc. fan.....oh and Martin Bros makes some of the sickest bikes too. I think i might be buying a Big Bear Chopper pretty soon. But yea.....


WE NEED PICS!!!!!!!!!!!

I think Jesse James is better too. He builds every damn thing from scratch! And, he's not in it for the money, he's in it for the love of the bikes. He doesn't care who you are, if you want your bike you wait on the waiting list.

I remember the episode where he was building Shaq's bike, and Shaq told him he wanted the long handle bars, Jesse just looked at him and said "no"....hell, how many people would tell a 7' 4" 400+lb man "no" to his face! lol, Jesse for teh win!

A lot of my hard-corps biker friends agree with you. After all, OCC buys frames (although they make their own now) and do not build as much from "scratch" as others do. BUT, Jesse James is a real ***** from what I understand in person. He started as a biker and now has become this multi-million dollar business, can't keep a wife, yada yada yada. I know people who have met him in person and they all claim that he is a conceited jack-off.

The guys from OCC, while also a multi-million dollar business, seem to have stuck a bit more to their roots and seem to be much more down to earth in person. Time will tell in the end.

Yeah, I know what you mean about him being conceited, hell if I could build like that I would too. But, I watched a show about him (don't remember which one) and all these people were standing outside his chopper shop, and he was saying that he just wishes people would leave him alone and let him build bikes. After that show, he actually took like a year off so maybe some of his popularity would calm down.

But, I think Paul Jr. is conceited as ****! Just the way he comes off to me on TV, but on the other hand MIKEY IS THE MAN!!!!
