Their bikes are gimmicky. They take a basic chopper, and load it up with bolt ons. Lots of fancy bells and whistles to make you go oooh and aahh, but nothing really impressive. Reminds me of honda civic customizers. At the bike show last week, occ got owned by Bourgets and Indian Larry. Larry brought one with the front tubes twisted into a double helix, now thats style.

I'm not a big fan of Indian Larry's bikes. I like parts of it but I don't like the gas tanks, springer front ends, handlebars, or the lack of rake. The twisted down tube is sweet though. I really like Billy Lane's bikes except for his gas tanks. They're too flat. I love Bourget's bikes. Those are sweet.

I think I enjoy the show more than OCC's actual choppers. To me... a lot of chrome and a cool paint sceme are good enough. I don't need a theme or anything like that.
I saw this guy on Discovery having a build-off competition with (I think??) Larry. Not sure what his shop or name is, but he makes a tube frame that holds oil, hence eliminating the need for an oil tank. This lowers the seat height for a more comfortable ride. Looked pretty trick to me. Anyone know his name? In the show, he built a blue accented bike with NOS bottles on the sides of the tank.
