I was watching Project Runway on Bravo, there is no way I will ever support OCC by watching that crap.
There are too many hard working custom bike builders out there, including the guy who wrenches my bike (www.stewyscustoms.com) that make those azzhats look like the no talent hacks they are.
So many other people did the great paint, the custom machined parts, the frames, plating, rims, engines, every part of the effn bike, and those azzhats took credit for the work. They are not bike builders, they are bike assemblers.
Nubs Graphics sued them for copyright infringement
Vinnie and Cody sued them, Cody never got the bike Sr gave him.
They bankrupted the steel company and transferred the assets to a new company to duck a judgment in a lawsuit by Turner Construction after they won the bid for the steel work and then said they couldn't do the job.
Ever meet Dave Perewitz? He is a bike builder, and a real nice guy on top of it. He runs circles around anyone who ever worked at OCC.
BTW Vinny is the only qualified mechanic who ever worked there IMHO
And I really was watching Project Runway

It reminds me of a reality show that just happens to have motorcycles in it. Suppose it is no worse than the back biting on shows like Big Brother or Survivor or any of the rest of those kind of shows. It's not about building bikes no matter how TLC markets it.

It's sad to see I think they are all about to go under. How many bikes do you have to sell to keep the new OCC building open? OCC has a history of not paying people what they should have been paid. The value of OCC is zero according to Sr. I never did stop in to the new HQ drove by it all the time but never stopped. Worked with one of their graphics painters wifes that got the OCC shaft. Now where is the nearest OCC restaurant?
