Oh Oh… is it going to be an Urban Bad Ass Single seat Chop Phil? 👿
Solid Wheels suggest a Kind of Survival Motorcycle kind of feel to it … Especially with the Black on Black with a Hint of Black paint work … One would presume that that would be of the matt variety? 😎
I have seen the one or other report on TV about OCC.
They are doing typical american botch jobs, horrible !
It is all just for show.
OK, result “looks” nice and they have plenty of space and maschinery, but being one of world’s best bike builders, paaaah !I love the stuff from Thunderbike:

OK, it is just Harleys, but work is done the german way.
That is the fine art of bike engineering ;-)))Another crazy guy from Germany is Fred Kodlin. He has some amazing ideas and is rated as the german Arlen Ness 🙂
http://www.kodlin.com/frameset_en.htmThe “newcomer” in german custom bike building is Markus Walz.
Ultra low frames, ultra wide rear tires are/were his distinctive mark.

Have fun !!!
Cheers, MichaelSome weird and wonderful contraptions there Michael lol
OCC is Orange County Choppers
Oh, no, no, that was my fault.
English is still a foreign language to me, please be patient 🙂I know who OCC is 🙂
“Having seen this” means:
having visited the above mentioned links and have seen the shown bikes there?“WTF” this time means “Who the f…?”
Maybe my english writing was to close/direct/shunt to german grammar, words and sense of humour as it should be, for you native speakers to understand :-)))
Beg your pardon ;-))))))
Cheers, Michael
No worries Michael and certainly no need to apologise. Your English is far better than some of ours and our German is virtually non existent. I did think it strange that you would not know OCC but as you did not put a link to them I thought I would that is all.
I do agree with you though Choppers sind Scheiße
I have No idea what Andy just said!? 😕
But I can have a Good Guess! 😳
Oh yer KK there seems to be something wrong with your letter B on your laptop mate!.. 😆
Just had a visit at OCC website.
Ok, must admit the shown bikes are looking not to bad, but what I saw on TV how they achieve these results, I was really disappointed.Hi Phil,
last year I was in St. Tropez, France. That is in the south, Cote d’ Azur, close to Nice (Nizza), Cannes and the italian border.
There was a large Harley meeting that time and I have seen one bike that was extraordinary. Maybe you like it and pics provide some inspiration 😉Cheers, Michael
occ don’t build bikes,they just take parts off the shelf and bolt them on a frame that also came off a shelf

Errr. Isn’t that called building?
Good question !
So that is the typical way of Harley customizing!
Order bits and pieces off a catalogue or in a webshop, get the stuff, replace stock components with some billet pieces and your bike building is done within a single afternoon.
I am sure our understanding of customizing a bike is different than that :-)))
BTW: Did you know you can build a “Harley” only with accessories parts, without using any stock Harley-Davidson piece with it ?
You can buy everything as an aftermarket product for them !
