OCC

HP or Intel

Schneider Electric.  Totally busted.  Unfortunately, the company I work for bought an OCC chopper, too.

Schneider Electric?

Oui  

I will say, the internal video that our PR people made for us to watch, was pretty funny.  It had some candid Paul Sr. moments. 

For example, he was talking about Schneider, and how big it was, but no-one had ever heard of it - why is that he asked. 

That is a good question for a 20 Billion in sales company.

that is actually a really good question.  i guess that's why they needed some OCC help.  regardless what you think of the show it is a great marketing tool for companies.

candid Sr moments?  do tell.

paul designs LOLOLOLOL   

I checked out the website.  After 10 minutes of looking around, I still couldn't figure out what he is designing...

I wish Jr would design bikes again.  I think he did a great job although those bikes are NON RIDEABLE which SUCKS for those prices.   Granted Vinny and Rick are the talented metal work guys but design has gone to shit since Jr's departure.

Looked like a bunch of generic clothes that he added his logo to, and a coleman grill!?!?

Mikey's art is the best thing on the site though.

Mikey's art is the best thing on the site though.   

Best painter was an early guy named Grub or Nub?  I saw one OCC bike he painted / striped / airbrushed -- it was nice.  If anyone noticed, a lot of the paint guys seemed to disappear.  Too bad they didn't let Mikey paint a bike!

Best bike:  the little blue Triumph 'bobber they built this year.  Hopefully Mikey kept it as he got the he** out of dodge...

Best employee:   Vinnie -- he worked and had a good attitude about most everything (until the end).  All great shops have guys like these behind the scenes that do the grunt of the hard work.  Hopefully he succeeds in his new business and TV media publicity. (HD motorcycle market is pretty "soft" right now)

Big question:  Imagines of Mikey, JR, etc -- are they owned by them or are they owned by their father (OCC/Inc)?  I watched a few minutes of the final episode and some stupid BBQ/OCC joint was opened via Sr and all three of their mugs were painted / splattered all over the building.  My only thought was -- axe your sons but you continue to milk your kids images to generate yourself money -- great deal eh?

Dirty Jobs, not so much.

[mendoje]

I am embarrassed to say, but the company I work for paid for a OCC chopper ... won't say which one.

Our company division also sprung for one.  It turned out extremely lame.

I enjoyed watching the show although sometimes it was clown slapstick ,, but they never made a bike that I thought was beautiful ...I like chops and customs ... i used to build myself  HDs,yamahas,triumphs BSA choppers and lowriders.OCC only made tasteless ugly bikes ..but good luck to them if thats what they can sell.

When I was at MMI in Phoenix the Snap On reps brought the OCC Snap On bike to campus.  Very sad.  It was one of the few OCC bikes I was interested in seeing.

It looked like someone had been beating on the billet primary belt drive guard with a ball peen.  It was all buggered up.  The bike had those flashy neon lightening bolts spliced inline in the middle of the plug wires, but one of the plug wires had separated from it.  The fill spout of the gas tank had some kind of crud all over it.  And something else was broken, a mirror I think.

I asked the Snap On rep to start it up, but he refused.  He tried to make it sound like he shouldn't start it, but I was convinced he couldn't start it because it would not start.

I love Snap On tools, but it was sad that they would let a beat up bucket of bolts represent them like that without fixing the problems.  I mean, they're a TOOL COMPANY fer cryin out loud.

[muskrat]

could it be that all the old painters/vendors left because of Sr and his attitude?

[Popeye the Sailor]

Ugly bikes this, no talent that. Blah blah blah.

Someday, I'd love to get rich selling, godawful, ugly, unrideable bikes. If they can make it work for them, more power to 'em.
