OCC just funny

[band1t]

Not sure if this topic has come and gone.
But what did everyone think of the OCC Trans am, GTO, and 1969 Trans am Bikes??/

I thought they were a insult to the cars.

Any links or pictures?

Watching that show has been sad for soooo many years, I cant believe they have to orchastrate this current drama to make the show relevant again.. The bikes have also been very sad for some time.. I have done business with people that actually make some of the parts that they try to showcase as their own on the show. These people claim they are really just *****s.

I just saw that episode tonight. Those bikes were a joke and I feel that OCC just finds a way to stick styling cues on the bikes, instead of doing an actual design. I laughed when I saw the little shaker hood on the gas
tank of the 78ta bike.

I never really like choppers at all, but did think the white 6T9 bike was the best of the three...but all gross compared to the cars. I would love to drive that 6T9 car...heard it has 1100 hp! The goat did look like the nicest of the three...I would give anything I own for a Kevin Morgan creation...

Given that my motor vehicle (car or motorcycle) interest has always been about performance rather than bling, I find the show to be interesting only when Rick is fabricating a gas tank. The guy is a magician with sheet metal. The rest of the work mostly makes me shudder and the "design" process, ignoring as it does any semblence of performance or (so far as I can tell) safety, leaves me cold.

I never watch that show but was channel surfing last night and caught a glimpse of the hood tach on the "goat" bike. I thought it was a nice touch even though the bike as a whole was ugly.

Looking through the gallery you posted though, I think the black/gold trans am was fairly well done, especially with the wheels.

Final thought, theme bikes are horrible no matter what.

I'm with Mike .... the sheet metal fab is all that I find interesting...well, I take that back...Knubbs (or however you spell the painter's name) is pretty interesting when he's peeling all of the film off and doing his thing with the paint.

I don't know what people expect, but for what they are, they look very nice. They resemble the cars, and that was the goal.

I like the characters on the show... Sr is looking old! If all that family drama is real, that's just sad. But from how things went down, it sounds like money and greed played a part. That's why Vinnie and Cody left OCC in the first place.

Proof of the design is in how it rides....and they always look like they'll be a pathetic ride.
Frankly, I never liked their designs at all.....thought the show was funny at the start, lost interest quite some time ago.

I thought they did a good job of incorporating the different styling cues from the individual cars onto the bikes. Minus the headlights that is because those are ugly.

I must say thought that I like Jr's work. I watched the senior versus junior show while living in a hotel. Sr definitely has not come out well from this fight. He's making himself look very bad IMO. Meanwhile Jr was turning out some great looking bikes. The Geico bike and Antivenom where nice.

Bunch of liars, you all watch for the soap opera. HA HA

That's fine. I'll admit it. I used to watch the 2 hour block in the afternoons everyday after work while waiting for my class to start.

I couldn't respect them ever because they didn't build their frames or engines.

i really miss 'Biker Build-Off', that was a show with real fabricators and really showcased some incredible skill and creativity.

I like Jr.'s work for the most part. The three bikes were ok, but the honecomb wheels looked pretty awesome on the black and gold one. The actual GTO remake car looks pretty decent. Not really a big fan of the TA Conversions though.

FWIW, they built a frame jig and used it quite a few times, when the guy who built it left, it was hardly used again.

I really did hate that they started farming everything out and not really doing anything in the later episodes.

That doesn't matter to me. I would still respect someone here for putting together a pt ride from a swartz or morrison frame. So what. Just because you don't fabricate everything doesn't mean they didn't design and build a nice piece.

Personally, i hope the show ends and they go belly up. They're crap show is replayed non-stop on the discovery channel.(discover how a science channel will sell itself out like a cheap whore)

They build tasteless crap with crap performance and crap rideability.

Apropos of nothing, I read in Jesse James' twitter stream that there is a scheduled "biker build-off" between someone from OCC (don't recall Jr or Sr) and Jesse James.
