Orange County Choppers
Re: Orange County Choppers
No, but I live like 15 minutes from them, and very close to there new shop. We see the out sometimes at bars and stuff. Apparently some of the staff at the bars and restaurants say they've become quite arrogant. SR is pretty short, they must have a dwarf camera man shooting him or something.

Re: Orange County Choppers
I was actually there in 2003 before they became the big success they are now.
I met Paul Sr. and saw a some of TV built bikes being unloaded from the trailer after they returned from a photo shoot.
I am in the pic standing by the Firebike and the Jetbike.

Re: Orange County Choppers
A friend of mine is a professional photographer that shot a couple of their bikes - was actually on the show for a few episodes. He and Paul Sr. had a couple "confrontations"... but they wanted him back for more. Unfortunately he started working for another magazine and his contract wouldn't allow it...

Re: Orange County Choppers
Well, something has changed that is for sure...I don't know if it is arrogance or what, but he didn't even stay after presenting the bikes. Never shook the first hand nor allowed photos of himself with anyone. The bikes weren't even where I could get a good photo. I will put up what I have....but, a little disappointed in the whole thing. I will get better photos once we have the bikes at home...1 is to be given away for charity, the 3 wheeler is the one we will keep to display...
It will air sometime in October....TBA..
I errased the photos of Senior...JR is building a bike for our competition Asgrow, we shall see...lol

Re: Orange County Choppers
I like Harleys a lot but those big choppers they build are so dumb. At first I thought the artistic side of the bikes where cool. Now it's like they just bolt together mail order parts and weld stuff up around it. No engineering whatsoever. Those bikes must be a handfull to corner.
Re: Orange County Choppers
On the 3 wheeler, the handles on the handle bars are CNC'd to look exactly like ears of corn. It has carbon fiber snouts on the front like a corn picker, and used fiberglass for the rear fender...this is a 1st for OCC in the use of fiberglass/carbon fiber, and their first ever trike....other than that, all bolt together...the other bike is one of their run of the mill build bikes, as it will be raffled off for charity...
