No, but I live like 15 minutes from them, and very close to there new shop. We see the out sometimes at bars and stuff. Apparently some of the staff at the bars and restaurants say they've become quite arrogant. SR is pretty short, they must have a dwarf camera man shooting him or something.

I was watching it last night as well. Not sure why, since I do not normally watch it.
Anyway, it was a nice looking bike for sure. And the SL that AMG let them borrow was nice too.

I was actually there in 2003 before they became the big success they are now.
I met Paul Sr. and saw a some of TV built bikes being unloaded from the trailer after they returned from a photo shoot.
I am in the pic standing by the Firebike and the Jetbike.

They make some pretty nice bikes.....but I've always been a Jesse James fan myself.

That still wouldn't keep me from stealing the Shelby bike though!

jesse james over OCC any day, he is so orginal, and does not care what you think or if you like it or not, builds them to what he likes, that is how it should be.

Anyway there was an SLR mercedes OCC bike floating around but I can not find pics of it anymore, IMO looked better then the AMG bike


found it... http://www.orangecountychoppers.com/...fairtheme.html

it is in the the off air corp. bike section page 2

A friend of mine is a professional photographer that shot a couple of their bikes - was actually on the show for a few episodes. He and Paul Sr. had a couple "confrontations"... but they wanted him back for more. Unfortunately he started working for another magazine and his contract wouldn't allow it...

I can second that (the arrogance). Our unit called them up to see if we could get the National Guard bike on display for an airshow. They ended up renting the bike out for 10k a day... and they wanted another 10k a day to be there to sign autographs. It ended up just being a the bike sitting behind a velvet rope for two days.

Well, something has changed that is for sure...I don't know if it is arrogance or what, but he didn't even stay after presenting the bikes. Never shook the first hand nor allowed photos of himself with anyone. The bikes weren't even where I could get a good photo. I will put up what I have....but, a little disappointed in the whole thing. I will get better photos once we have the bikes at home...1 is to be given away for charity, the 3 wheeler is the one we will keep to display...

It will air sometime in October....TBA..

I errased the photos of Senior...JR is building a bike for our competition Asgrow, we shall see...lol

I like Harleys a lot but those big choppers they build are so dumb. At first I thought the artistic side of the bikes where cool. Now it's like they just bolt together mail order parts and weld stuff up around it. No engineering whatsoever. Those bikes must be a handfull to corner.

On the 3 wheeler, the handles on the handle bars are CNC'd to look exactly like ears of corn. It has carbon fiber snouts on the front like a corn picker, and used fiberglass for the rear fender...this is a 1st for OCC in the use of fiberglass/carbon fiber, and their first ever trike....other than that, all bolt together...the other bike is one of their run of the mill build bikes, as it will be raffled off for charity...
