OCC Stealth Chopper.

[peasea]

I've seen quite a few of their bikes at close range when we visited the OCC shop. The were, as much as I hate to say it, beautifully finished (that'll be Rick's doing - and a gifted painter).

Wouldn't mind betting we see the OCC boys going bankrupt given the present US economic climate. Who the f'k is going to buy one of these overpriced jokes these days?

Ask Picasso. He was supposed to be a good painter but in my eye his work is shite. The beholder and all that. I think that bike is crap, but who am I?

I would imagine that Yanks being what/who they are, and the money that they have, OCC will be around for a while yet. Catering to the rich and famous whackos is their forte` and there's one or two of them Stateside.

That's not to say that all US bikes are naff, far from it, and let's not forget that they build bikes for different roads and applications. Personally I like things that come from Suckerpunch Sally's and there's a lot in Oz that rates highly. Shame about bike week in Brizzy this year.

Time to get a second opinion me thinks.

Totally agree. Much prefer the sort of bikes you'll find in The Horse than these rolling Christmas trees. I was just surprised that close up the OCC bikes are actually really well finished. Still wouldn't f'kin' ride one...

I like them as art.

As the evolution of the Rat Fink.

Big Daddy and Von Dutch and the Pinstripers of Kustom Kultcha blurring the boundaries of art, sculpture, metalwork, engineering and the internal combustion engine.

I like Picasso too and Dali and Matisse.

Well - the Picasso that I thought was a motorcycle was actually a Madam from the West Bank and that turned out OK.

The Dali went a bit soft, then melted and ran late.

Matisse was a mongrel.

lets put wings on it too?

fuck clayton weatherston pisses me off, sorry i ment mikey (they look identical)

[Big Dave]

What a heinous piece of crap! The Jetsons could do better!

But it rates.

This would be one of the most discussed (mostly derided) vehicles on the net over the last 12 months.

Job Done OCC.

Job Done OCC.

Only if they were contracted to build a shit horrible bike that no one liked, Otherwise its the fail bike, as proven by the discussion surrounding it.

I believe the USAF like it. They thought highly enough to install it in a supermarket.

It's a long running TV show and the bikes are props. Wish it was me.

[Headbanger]

Wish it was me.

Because you don't already have a dream job?

Just had a thought, And just because I'm a good guy.

I'm willing to take over for you at the magazine while you go to America and chase television stardom.

In the event that you fail ( I have huge faith in ya Dave) and you return to NZ you can have my old job with the demolition company.

[Big Dave]

Yeah yeah blessings counted - can you imagine what the production budget is though. *sigh*

Then I look outside.

Thats hard case, i thought the same thing ,he's Mikeys double.
I used to really enjoy the show but since Vinnie left and all the other changes i can hardly be bothered with it.

I did like the bike they built for Jay Leno styled along the lines of a Brough Superior.Oh to have a wander around Mr Leno's collection of bikes and cars.

And he still seems like a decent bloke too.
