I know it is not on of the choices but, Indian Larry @ Gasoline Alley!!

[Mobular]

Yeah! Indian Larry builds real chops!

[hondatrikesrule22]

I like OCCs theme bikes,but I am a fan Jesse James and his bikes. Indian Larrys bikes are cool also.But, I kinda like Paul Yaffys V-rod choppers. What can I say? I like ALL of them!! :D

OCC

[J.D.]

I don't see what the sudden obsession with "Choppers" is. Everywhere I look little kids are wearing OCC and WCC shirts all over the place. Personally, I think Choppers are gay and don't like any of them.

[HemiChallenger71]

LOL I'm not a huge fan of choppers either Goku, but I do like the TV shows. I have to admit most of them are bad ass, but some are just gay. If I had to vote it'd be for Choppers INC. from Florida. I think Billy Lane builds the sickest bikes. OCC makes some bad ass bikes too.

[trikerider2oo7]

West Coast... i would be neutral but everyone like Orange County and I wanna be different

OCC! "Where are my tools!!"

[esoltve]

Jesse and the gang at West Coast. Even on Monster Garage they make trikes

american chopper!

[sleestack]

I like the fact that Jessie does more of the actual fabrication but his ego it way too big and he is too busy acting cool.

My vote is for OCC.

[Billy Golightly]

I dunno, I use to really like WCC and Jesse James but I think he's getting a little to big for his britches. The OCC guys are funny to watch but I wouldn't want them building my bike. Kinda like giving a pack of monkeys some tools and a drawing and telling them to "Make this" Funny to watch them try and do it, but not a real good idea to actually use it. I think WCC definetly has a higher quality machine. Everything is made in house, as apposed to at OCC where the only thing made in house is the coffee everyone is always drinking.

[YAMAHA_Jim]

OCC

I dont dislike Jesse James but since OCC is 30 minutes from me,I'm goin with the local boyz. I'm sure Jesse made a few mistakes while making parts but they never aired on TV. Jesse's show/s were more like a documentary on choppers/bikes where OCC is more like a reality sitcom.At OCC they just let the camera roll and whatever happens,happens. Paul jr is an excellent fabricator although I'd say he goofs infront of the camera a bit,,,Vinnie too.I never met paul sr. but I hear that he isnt much different in person than he is in on TV.

I look at it this way. They might not be the best fabricators or mechanics,but they build some awesome bikes,have a #1 TV show,and a few AOL commercials so they must be doing something right. Season 3 for AMERICAN CHOPPER is being taped as we speak.

Indian Larry and Billy lane build some awesome bikes too.

I watch American Chopper too, its very entertaining. However, I dont get the sudden obsession with choppers. What I really cant stand is the companys like yaffee or whatever the heck his name is that programs parts into a CNC and pushes the button. I really respect those old school guys like Indian larry and Billy Lane. Is it just me or does all of OCC bikes look basically the same?? Mabey we should make a show "American Triker"??

[YAMAHA_Jim]

lol American Triker would consist of someone fabricating a shiftlever shim from a soda can; Two or three guys working on someone elses flat tire at 3am, quad tire no less ; Driving 10 hrs to Haspin only to realize your frame is broke and you need to find some local yokel with a welder......and when were not working on something,We're tearing around in a 3wheeled car just b/c its cool. Sounds like a hit to me. :}

[Grant2k]

i agree that the sudden obsession with choppers isn't cool, but choppers have always been cool in my book.

even though my school is right near orange county and i do like OCC, their regular bikes, as in the bikes they sell that are not theme bikes, are pretty ugly. I like West Coast Choppers bikes a lot better, and they do seem to be built better. But i've been saying for a while that Jesse James is too big for his britches. I like Billy Lane's bikes a lot too, but i guess Jesse still gets my vote.

I would watch it, oh wait that was TF '03! Mabey we should try to sell this idea! LOL

and it was a BEER can, thank you. ;)

[ste-pel]

ucking right i would watch amercain triker maybe that would get people interested in trikes and they would start building them again

[REDMAN225]

occ :!: :!: :!:

[compaqkoci]

they need to make a custom Atc!
yea!
have a race between all of them
:-D and give one to me of course

[BigGreenMachine]

Jesse James and WCC. Love his bikes. Monster garage is awsome too!
I hate the fact that evryone around here has WCC clothing when most ppl know nothing about choppers or bikes in general, now that is gay.

[bigred110]

I like WCC, becuase they do everything in house except for the motor.
OCC makes other companies make everything for them.
I won't wear a OCC or WCC shirt unless I bought a bike from them.

[hondatrikesrule22]

And what is wrong with wearing a damn WCC shirt? They just like motorcycles. I happen to own one of those shirts and I love it. At least its better than walkin around in in a $200 jersey and driving an escalde with $10,000 dlollar spinnin rims. Now that is gay. :rolleyes:

there's nothing wrong with people who actually appreciate them wearing them. but motorcycles have lately become a huge yuppy thing, especially harley's. i know because where i live i see both the yuppies and the real bikers. and the only people who can afford bikes from any of these chopper shops are the yuppies, and they just do it because they saw it in Popular Mechanics or whatever other magazines they read that make them think they are mechanically inclined. so when somebody who knows what they are wearing wears the shirts, then it's cool, but usually it's the people in the Escaldes with $10,000 rims who are wearing them.

OCC HERE

[Just3]

i saw jessie james promoting auto zone i think hes a big sell out

[hondatrikesrule22]

1bad200X,in your sig. it says, "rm500 stuffed in a zinger!?!". :shock: How does that work? You don't have any pics do ya? thanx Never mind, I read it again and its the 200X that has the motor in it :oops: .

[nate b]

they all suck, their tv shows suck, their acting sucks, the stupid "theme" bikes suck, if i wanted a nice bike i would build it myself sure as hell wouldnt give these yahoos 40 grand for a bike

[Chopperdad]

Who cares they all are crap and not real choppers. . Jesse has talent but OCC sucks.

They don't build choppers. Just over priced show junk. Real chops are built in a garage the hard way and not with 80 thousand dollars.

A chopper is a bike that is cut and reworked. Everything on the bike that is not needed is eliminated. You don't put a bunch of crap on a bike that has no purpose. I build chops and have for 10 yrs. A real chopper building guy would never build the crap they do. Even their regular so called chops are crap. Only reason people like these gus is because they are on TV. Otherwise nobody would even know their names. Most the people that like that crap are not real bikers or chopper gus. Only RUB's and Yuppies or non riders could give a crap about that junk.

Out of all of them Indian Larry is the real deal. F**k the rest.

You to think of it I bet that fag Paully couldn't even tear an engine down and fix it. He is a putts.

What I really can't beleive is that someone on this site actually likes this crap enought to post it on such a great forum.

By the way, If you want to see some real chops go to:

www.hondachopper.com
www.thehorsemag.com
www.triumphchoppers.com

Or just come over to my house and see some real chops. Ask Howdy he saw some.

[NICKG]

hey tri z jim....i must live by you. i used to work a mile from occ, i have met all those guys at occ(paul jr went to scholl with a buddy of mine) and yes, they are just like they act on the show(i used to sell them headlights sometimes) i tell you, i like Jesse James' bikes, but occ does make some nice ones...tough choice, but i actually like chopper Larry's stuff(he is a riot, i met him a while ago) i am a huge fan of all these shows and wish there were more like them(i even like american hotrod) and for chopper dad, these Occ junkers have been around in the area for a decent time, they have a decent local following in the ny metro area, we are in the age of RUBS(rich urban bikers) not everyone is hardcore, riding is cool for EVERYONE whether you like it or not
