I know a child who wrote a well thoght out and meaningful petter on a theme for a bike they could build. The kid and his family never got a reply except for a postcard thanking them for support and allowing them to join some "I love OCC Club."

It's a national TV show ... millions of viewers, i can only guess millions of letters.
It's like winning the lottery. Everybody and their dog thinks you owe them something. Not that I've ever won the lottery, but since everyone else is using heresay, I figure I may as well.
Be happy!

It will be interesting to seewhen the EPA will start the fines for not having proper exhaust systems on them.
Just ask Jesse James........
I wonder if OCC even has a clue about the EPA emission regs..........prolly not.

RE: What about the OCC production bikes?
When I saw that OCC was going to makea production bike, I decided to watch the program and see what they looked like. Although the style isn't the style that I like, I would want to see one in person and maybe give it a try before I would say anything one way or another. Personally, I wouldn't pay $50,000 for one of their bikes but I wouldn't mind looking at it and maybe test ride one.

Jesse James is truly a craftsman, building great bikes. OCC is all about "We gotta have thing done by morning, so we will be spending 23 hours with no sleep to get it done." Yeah, that's the bike I want for $50k....NOT! I don't see any talent that makes them master builders.

$50,000 I can build 3 decent bikes nothing over the top gaudy with all the ch*nk-a-deas they throw at one and you'd have a nice looking ridable reliable bike with horsepower tucked in or 2 showcase bike's with all the bling and big motors . Those boys are straight up a bunch of no talent clowns . The production bikes , all the major components come other sources in bulk they don't make frames or build motors & trannies . Any of the off the shelf cookie cutter harley look a like bikes will have issues unless each one is hand built and debugged personally by a knowledgeable mechanic that takes the time to do it right and those do not come cheap .

Yeah i remember the bike they built for Wendys, the battery box was slightly to small to take the battery and Paul Jnr kept stamping on it till it finally jammed itself in, god knows what the owners did when it went flat,cos there's no way it was going to come out again.
