OCC just funny

[novaderrik]

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.

i would think it would be Paul Jr- Paul Sr is an ironworker that built bikes on the side as a hobby until Jr was old enough to start doing it.
Jesse James all by himself could probably outbuild all of the fabricators at OCC and Paul Jr Designs combined and he'd start out with a pile of tubing and sheetmetal instead of a prefabricated frames and tanks.. he also has an eye for functionality and likes to make things usable and safe.

regarding the quality of the OCC bikes- Jr is an artist more than an engineer. that's what Vinny is for.. Paul Jr doesn't care if the bikes ride or handle well or if they are fast- he's all about the image. and that image is why all those companies line up to pay $100k or more to have them build a bike for them on tv- they are buying an hour of cable tv advertising time.. then OCC keeps the bikes after they are built.. i wonder how the syndication deal works out for the companies- if they only have to pay for the initial broadcast of the episode, then the reruns are hours and hours of free ad time..
