I added a few new pics to my gallery page from the bike show I was I this weekend. Something you will see for the very first time here. Orange County Choppers unvailed a brand new bike that they finished the day that they left for the show. They also had the Fire bike, black widow, Mickey's bike, the jet bike, the KIA/MIA bike, the santa bike, and the commanche bike. I got picture of them too, but nowhere to post them. Metry Cycles, Thunder Cycle Designs, Detroit Choppers, Twisted Metal designs, and Physco Customs were there too. I am waiting for Mods approval right now

 

Waiting....[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

Was West Coast Choppers there? I like Jessie's stuff too.

 

Nope. I wish he was though. I lost a lot of respect for OCC. Pauly and Paul couldnt give a **** less about the fans. By there actions there, it was obvious that they were there for 1 reason only...........$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. They were charging $10 for an autographed poster!!!!!!!!!! The line for autographs was a 4 hour wait!!! And Pauly especiilay was a pr!ck!!! They have seriously lose touch with there roots and have let there fame get to their head. They didnt even bother to walk around and look at the bikes there!! But it is one thing to see the bikes on TV then to see them in person. They are beautiful. The guy that made the MIA bikes rear fender was pretty cool though. Iron Butterfly and Foghat played a concert too. Foghat was good, but Iron Butterfly SUCKED!!!!. They had a Journey cover band that was AWSOME!!

no prob.

 

I'm not trying to defend these guys but try to see it from a different angle. This is a traveling show so they have seen the same bikes over and over. I have seen them at the local mall and its horrible how people hound them. All they want to do is live their lives and its nearly impossible. As for the Paul Sr. I hear he was a d!ck before the show. I have friends that work out at the same gym and they say he's a pr!ck (but a strong pr!ck). Pauly has always been a pretty good guy from what I have heard.
As for them being all about the money...Hell Yeah! Two or three years ago they were the owners of a small Iron business in the middle of no where. Now they are internationally known and cashing in on it. Who can blame them? This is there 15 minutes and its just about up.
On to their bikes...they are nice to look at but I hear (notice this is all hearsay) the quality is less then great. Jesse James, Billy Zane (Lane?), Bourget, Indian Larry - those guys build bikes. OCC just assembles bikes and add some details. I admit I like a few of the OCC bikes but the whole theme thing got old quick for me.
I can definitely see how you formed your opinion but try to look at it from their perspective.
