    They were at biketoberfest signing stuff, had a couple of nice bikes they had done.

    Sure wasn't the OCC lines we used to see...

    I saw them in Rapid City at the H-D stealership. My friends really got off on there stuff, just another chopper builder to me. Stock plus a little extra HP and braking power and you're good to go day after day on the road.

    If Northrop Grumman want to pay OCC for a concept bike, and OCC accept the offer, then good for OCC. We have not got to like the end product, but then we are not buying it.

    I do question those pipes on a stealth bike. Seems to me we might hear it coming from a long way off. :)

    Because bad manners seem to sell

    OC and shows like Miami Ink show people acting like they are something more than just *******s with some talent. But it sells, which is a sad commentary on our society. I guess these things are designed for people that are ashamed to be honest enough to watch soap operas but still have the need for that sort of BS "reality". Another reason I don't watch much TV. I watch the "news" (that is really stretching the term nowdays) mainly because it is a good way to not be bored when I am on the treadmill.
    Of course had I been born 50 years later, I would have been diagnosed as having ADD, been put on Ritalin and would probably been able to sit in front of the mindless drivel all day like my grandkids do.
    As to how FUGLY the latest "creation" here is...jeeze.:wtf: And the Victory....looks like the results of letting the Queer Eye fellows loose in a bike factory.

    Yes, they have a couple of production models, the local stealership used to sell them, they discountinued carrying them because of the poor quality, from what I heard nothing but trouble front to rear & top to bottom with them. Bolts missing and falling off. No warranty expressed or implied!
    If you want that kind of bike Big Dog's are a much better buy.
    If you really want to own something to ride it is hard to beat a good Harley of any model. JMO!!

    I rode a Honda for several years a 1500 Goldwing, good running bike and we put 100,000 miles on it. :) After I got my first Harley I never went back but Honda does make a good ride though. :)

    Mine's my first bike since high school (25+ years, and that one was a honda too), saved it from the scrap yard, learned basic wrenching on it and despite everything it's been through, it shows no inclanation to give up the ghost.:cool:

    like to see an OCC 'boutique-bike' do that.

    Heck, I remember one bike OCC did that still didn't run when they unveiled it and another they wrenching on right up to the last minute to get it to run. There bikes are simply mean for looking at, not riding.
    I also remember on an old episode where the old man gave his son a brand new Harley Ultra for his birthday, what does that tell you about their bikes.

    Now there's an idea!! 'Cept after a few tax seasons and a herd of unchecked boxes there wouldn't be any government left. Wait...that may not be a bad thing!!

    Northrop must have made the design. They should stay with airplanes.
    OCC probably made some flyers happy but they should have stayed with building a Motorplane, Not an aircycle!!...:gah:
    Most of there other Theme Bikes do a pretty good job, but

    Yet another bit of junk

    Hi all
    Sorry but even from this side of the pond "It's Sh1t!" perhaps the pic's don’t do it justice but it looks to me like Mikey built it from old bean tins. :rolleyes:
    Saw them at Daytona a couple of years back and they were like the bike full of it.
    Just my thoughts.
    Aye Charlie

    Hit the nail on the head with that one....the only thing i saw OCC do was bend a pipe to make handlebars then out source everything else,then assemble the parts....Bike Builders???:wtf:
