Title: OCC's newest creation:
Post by: Monster Dave on January 15, 2009, 01:58:36 PM
OK, so just because we ride Ducati's doesn't mean that other bikes can't have some appeal. I've always been a fan of the talent that comes together at Orange Country Choppers to build the bikes that they present. I mean, it takes some serious skill (and a boat load of money) to bring the concepts that they start with to fruition.

Well anyway, here's thier newest creation in commemoration of the 20th anniversary of the B2 Spirit Bomber:

I'll be completely honest here.


I'm not just bashing them because they are a different type of bike....but I have yet to see anything come from them that I would consider to be appealing. I think their bikes are over the top hideous.

I've seen choppers that I thought were cool, but not one of them has rolled off the shop floor of OCC. I truthfully don't know how they stay in business.

TV, merchandising, the off-the-shelf bikes they sell.

I like Sr's old school stuff.

another blinged up 'theme' bike, but I do think it's pretty:

I think their builds generally lack sophistication which often makes them looks sort of, cheap. Like a toy manufacturer desgined the bike (in a toy scale), and magnified it to real-life size. I don't think some of the ideas translate well to the final product. It's a bit of a one-liner, you see it, you get it. But it doesn't offer much of anything else.

Usually, there is at least one thing that you can find appealing their bikes.  This has NOTHING!!

Wow, I'm amazed at all the negative responses. I've never seen any other shop build bikes as unique as the ones that they make. There's only so many ways that you can paint a tank on a chopper or only so many degrees that you can rake out the forks on a bike. These bikes are an expression of creativity; not ones that you'd see roll up next to you at a stop light. As many people who post up on here for the projects that they're working on, you'd think some people would appreciate the work that goes into something like this.  :-\

I appreciate the craft manship of there projects but find the designs tacky and not very tasteful. All of there stuff is quality and I think most people can acknowledge that but honestly the final product is just ridiculous and not very functional.

That bike is horrible.  [puke]

My opinion of course.

Post by: OverCaffeinated on January 15, 2009, 02:36:32 PM
This one is just  [puke]

I'm not saying all there stuff is this ugly, but you gotta understand what they do. They get parts off the shelf, then makes some parts that resemble somthing completely non moto related, then weld them all to a frame. Bam, a rolling billboard. Like teddy said.


Title: Re: OCC's newest creation:
Post by: Monster Dave on January 15, 2009, 02:36:53 PM
....final product is just ridiculous and not very functional.

Isn't that the point? They are "show" bikes, not weekend warrior bikes. It's like going to a concept car show and saying that the cars all suck because thier designes are to radical and non functional.

Case in point:

Title: Re: OCC's newest creation:
Post by: Fresh Pants on January 15, 2009, 02:47:48 PM
I don't think the Cadillac is the same arguement as the OCC stealth bike.

The stealth bike doesn't appear to have been designed as a whole, as OverCaffeinated stated, it's just a lot of off the shelf parts bolted/welded together. The off the shelf parts, clearly visible, and recognizable.

Which one of their bikes was it that jumped over the shark? It was in the second season I think....I don't know.

I like some of the stuff Jesse James does at West Coast Choppers, and the bikes Indian Larry made, but the only bike OCC built that I really thought was cool was the all copper one. That was pretty slick.

IMO, their most interesting stuff is in the background of the show. Not that I watch much, can't stomach the 'drama' or the hideous theme bikes but can appreciate the effort that goes into them.

....and the bikes Indian Larry made....

If you like Larry's stuff, you'll probably dig my hardtail project which had been spotted in progress on TOB. By spring I'm hoping. Stu can't wait to see it.  :)

Rick, the guy who welds and does the metal work for the theme, has got a lot of skill. He probably gets paid the least.

Most of OCCs theme bikes are just rediculous. They have the same formula for every theme bike it goes something like...make the tank look like the product, etch the logo into the wheels, send it out for paint in company colors, stick on stupid accessories with double sided tape, unveil, repeat.

Post by: sbrguy on January 15, 2009, 05:56:07 PM
honestly i didnt' like indian larrys stuff, sometimes it was just too "traditional looking" , while it takes skill, it just was too "old" for my taste.

the occ stuff is usually very tacky and yes they have a "formula" down for stuff and that is what they do.  but they do have some creativity in their designs, though they may not be my idea of good taste i can appreciate the work and the designing of thme.

not accounting for personality or ethics, i would say that billy lane's bikes are definitely cool, though i think his best design is an older one the hubless rear wheel was definitely something different.

the matt hotch bikes are nice too a bit different but then again none o fthese 1 off bikes are really for riding everyday, they are more for show and to say "hey i spent 300$k on this bike"  which is cool if you can afford it.

As someone who has screwed together a few bikes...  Don't like it.  A Chopper (bobber, old-school rigid, what have you) can be put together 1000000 ways but it's the overall vision that a builder needs to have from the get-go that makes all the difference.

That, and listening to the bike and what IT wants.  Yes...you read right, I listen to what the bike wants which sometimes differs from what I want to do but is yet to be wrong for the overall build.

OCC bikes?  Don't do it for me.
98% of all "Custom HD builders"?  Also, don't do it for me.
Jesse James?  Hell yeah, I'm a fan...

Their show definitely jumped the shark in my opinion when they bolted a plastic toy rifle to some military bike they built and used double sided tape to put bullets on the handlebars. I can appreciate the talent that went into the metal work but it looks like they bought a toy and bolted it to the bike. :-X
It kinda looks like a crappy go-bot toy from the 80s, just not quite good enough to be a transformer.
The bike does look cool minus the incredibly obnoxious tank and front fender.

Yes, those boys are super talented.  I like almost all of their bikes.
I saw a "chopper" this past summer at a bike night that just "did it" for me.  Among other cool bits and pieces on it and aside from being filthy (in a good way), this guy decided to use an URN for the oil rezzy.  Pure genius!!

I puke at the thought of OCC chops, and I'm a H-D guy from way back.  There was one I liked: The Snap-On bike, that is, I liked it until I saw it in person.  The Snap-On rep wouldn't (couldn't) start it, and you could see where someone had wailed on it with a hammer.

Oh, and I want to correct something someone said about OCC bikes being Harleys.  They aren't.  They do use aftermarket engines that are improved versions of H-D's Evo mill, but that's as close as they get.  I've never seen a single H-D part used.  Maybe I'm picking the fly shit out of the pepper, but there it is.

Custom chops?  I like much of the stuff from Exile, Chica, and Zero out of Japan.  Don't care for Sucker Punch Sally's chopper stuff, but their S&S 50th anniversary line of modernized retro Duo-Glides are pretty cool.  I got to see them up close when I dropped by their Phoenix shop.  Couldn't find the front door and wound up going in the service bay door.  All the guys working on the bikes were very cool and hospitable.  They said, "Come on in, look around."  That is, look around at what they were doing in the shop, not, "Get up front to the retail area."  They even took the time to talk about the giant CNC mill they were using to make those hideous billet chopper wheels.  I hate those wheels and all billet crap, but I love machining processses, and this one was pretty cool.  If you're ever in Phoenix, you should stop by.

Here's a chopper from back in the day.  That's NorDog about 18 years and 49 pounds ago!  If I had it to do over I would have done things much differently in that build.  But I was on the right track (for my tastes anyway).

I just went to the OCC website (first time ever) and looked at the line up.  Not a trip for the faint of heart or weak of stomach.

However, if you, like me, have a perverted sense of curiosity, have a look.

Perhaps we should have a poll of "Favorite, Unique, and Precious OCC Snowflakes"!

Their business has grown exponentially with their tv coverage.

Good for them....

I have no problem with it, and don't know them either.

Wow, I'm amazed at all the negative responses. I've never seen any other shop build bikes as unique as the ones that they make. There's only so many ways that you can paint a tank on a chopper or only so many degrees that you can rake out the forks on a bike. These bikes are an expression of creativity; not ones that you'd see roll up next to you at a stop light. As many people who post up on here for the projects that they're working on, you'd think some people would appreciate the work that goes into something like this.  :-\

As a prior metal fabricator I can appreciate the work; however, this bike is absolutely horrible!! I get what they do. They build rolling billboards for companies and organizations that are trying to capitalize on the popularity of choppers (or one time popularity of...). Give me the equipment and resources they have and I could come up with something like that too, but with much more class. It isn't rocket science to say, "Uh, heh, yeah, I got it! Let's fab a tank that looks like a fire truck or a Stealth bomber and stick it onto a stretched chopper frame with some CNC cut wheels! Brilliant!!).

Yeah, let's make a hideously stupid bike, but put a Santa on it and take it to sick kids in the hospital.  That makes it okay to make hideously stupid bikes (oh, and stupid hideous bikes).

I wish I had a dollar for every time some hack politician cloaked his crap behind, "Think of the children!"

Look, the OCC boys are successful business men.  Good on 'em.  They do some community service stuff.  Good on 'em.

But on their show, the play boorish clowns that make hideous machines.

You can't make a silk purse from a sow's ear, and community service won't cure 99% of their bikes of being fetid piles of crap.

Dude, if you LIKE those bikes, fine.  Own it.  But don't go sanctimonous on us about stuff that has nothing to do with the aesthetics (or decidedly lack thereof) of the machines they cobble together.

I'm just saying.

Vitriolic?  I prefer acerbic.

Never assume anything.  Few get to ride their OCC bikes.  The one I've sat on wouldn't even start.  They Most OCC bikes are after all are not even built to be ridden.  They go to a corporate showroom or an enclosed trailer.

How do I know those bikes are piles of crap?  Well for one, the geometry (both of aesthetics and engineering) are there for all to see.  For two: Many miles on Harleys, Big Dogs, and choppers of all types, and some formal training .  One doesn't have to sample every one of infinitely many examples of a form to know the form.

First off, I like there bikes and I really don't give a make the beast with two backs what you think about them, but you must like them enough to watch the show, search their website etc. Do us a favor and build something better, if you have the ability, which I doubt or you would be in your shop and not bashing other people's bikes on the internet.

You shouldn't get your panties all in a knot and take it personally that I hate those bikes.  I haven't said one deragotory thing about you, but you gotta bust out with, "...if you have the ability, which I doubt..." etc.  Dude, what are you, in the 7th grade?  You really outta grow up, or at least grow skin thick enough that you don't take such offense at what people say about machines built by people who ain't even you.

If however, you insist on talking smack on a personal level, you really should set the bar a bit higher.

In any event, your personal message to me seems to contradict that you don't give a f...

For the record...

1)  I have built bikes, even posted a pic of one on the thread.  Lots of people (even my friends) think that particular bike I built sux.  So what?  I don't take personally that they don't share my tastes in all things.  Besides, IT'S JUST A MACHINE.

2)  I haven't seen their show in years because, well, they are all the same show really: Paulie's late; Paulie's here; Senior yells; everyone goes to the fair, or to a shooting range, or something totally unrelated to the build of the week; back to work, the bike is behind schedule.  Same drill, every show.  Yawn.  Then they roll out a piece of crap machine.

3)  First time to their website after reading this thread.  It really is like looking at a car wreck as you drive by; one of life's guilty pleasures.

4)  Your enjoiner that I should build something better instead of "bashing" the OCC product line is just silly.  (I have built something better, at least as far as I'm concerned, and that's all that counts.)  Your's is a hackneyed and juvenile idea that holds the implicit premise that one cannot criticize what one cannot do.  And that's not only stupid, it's a standard no one can live up to (or should even try).  For example...

Let's say you are not an airline pilot, but you're on a commercial flight and you notice that the pilot is drunk and puking on his shoes.  Now, do you 1) Complain?  Or 2) Go to flight school?

In other words, I don't have to be a race car driver to recognize that Dale Earnhardt would have been better off not hitting that damn wall.

So, I suggest in the spirit of friendship that you man up and not take it personally that those bikes are ugly and I called them on it.

It ain't about you dude.  (But hey, this is kinda fun!)

The whole point of a "Personal Message" (PM) is that it's PERSONAL and shouldn't be posted for all to see...

Hey, if it's in my inbox, it's mine to do with as I please.  So, don't write snaky letters to me if you expect them to private. 

An old rule of thumb said, "Don't right anything in a letter that you don't want to see in the newspaper."

Simple enough.

That's, uh, great. Posting that same personal message up so you can basically lay into the person is pretty lame.
Any particular reason you couldn't just write back to kopfjager?

Actually, a few reasons.

1)  I don't have a personal relationship with him. [Edit: And I'm not going to develop a personal/private relationship with one getting snarky with me via my inbox.]
2)  The heart of my critique of his PM is that he's personalizing the discussion (id est, taking personal offense [and seeking to return it] because someone is disgusted by what he evidently likes.)
3)  It suited me to do so.

Good one.  Now that's what I call raising the bar.

On a serous note:

Why do you have so much emotional investment in defending the honor of the work of the OCC boys?  I mean, why do you care that I (and others) can't stand their stuff to the point that you initiate personal jabs?

Lighten up already.

This thread has gotten way out of control and has digressed from the purpose of the post. It's being locking it from this point.   [leo]
