Looks like one of those rides you used to see outside the supermarket.

 

It's too bad the crew at OCC never had an original thought.

 

And a humble approachable gentleman. I used to run into him years ago at the "Back to the Beach" parties in Daytona for the oldtimers. He had the Nesstalgia bike there one year in bare metal before paint. Arlen Ness is one of a kind.

 

OCC is still on TV?

 

That's what I said,...........I quit watching that show a couple of years ago when it became less about bikes, and more about flaunting the money they make.

 

I enjoyed a few years back two wheeled Tuesday on the Speed Channel that went away, no bike shows on the tube just re-runs and infomercials. The OCC guys are going to self destruct anyway.

 

Well said Knuck. People should realize that Ness was doing this years before it ever became the "in thng to do". Class act is right, we met him in Laconia years ago when he was first expanding into accessories and not an arrogant bone in his body.

I got tired of "American Chopper" a few seasons back. How many times can you watch the same episode? Jr comes up with an idea. Sr jacks him up for being lazy. They yell at each other for a while. Mikey The Mental Midget does the challenging work like answering phones and taking out the garbage, while Vinnie and Rick seem to do most of the work. (no wonder Vinnie left with Cody to form his own company...) I think the final straw for me was watching the episode where they trash the truck on purpose. The show stopped being about bikes a long time ago, and more about the Teutels going around being obnoxious. With the economy in the crapper, and the chopper fad fading into oblivion, in five years they'll be filing for bankruptcy and wondering how they pissed it all away. (P.S. - To Paulie Sr; Try wearing a shirt with sleeves once in a while. We get it. You have big pipes. The steroids work...)

 

i still watch the show. at this point occ is bigger than making show bikes . their living the american dream .come up with a gaget that people will want and make tons of money.
the buyer of the 57 chevy bike wanted something exxagerated similar to the resturants he builds. the dodge bikes was a complete mess didnt get the off road chop.
paul sr look like hes spending alot of time in the gym maybe the anger is from using
steroids

Sr. knows how to build a good bike. Check out this one that he built. It's in a book called "The Art of The Bobber". One of my favs.
But when you sacrifice your originality just to make a buck, you get the type of bikes that they are building now.
I have not watched the show in a couple of years.
