I admire anyone; musician, artist, welder, who can envision something in their mind and create it with their hands. After a while, I had to look past the guys at OCC and focus on what they were doing with their hands. And watching the bikes come together has been pretty entertaining. Isn't it the American way to create something, find an audience and make a living off of sellin it? I don't hold them no grudge...but I also wouldn't want one of their bikes either.

Question: Isn't that new guy on OCC, can't recall his name, the same welder who used to be on the Milwaukee Iron crew?

There is another crappy bike. You couldn't give me one of those either unless I was going to keep them in a display window. They'd fall apart going down the road.

The haters always come out of the woodwork when that happens but that is usually because they don't have the courage to step out and give it a try themselves. That or they tried and failed so everyone who is successful must therefore be a fraud.
It ain't about being a hater its about you like what you like. Some liked it, others including me did not.
