After watching shows like American Chopper and stuff like that, and seeing how LITTLE work actually goes into one of those, I cant believe they cost as much as they do. **** that.
brian how was the mouse trap
Some are fully custom and some are kits, American chopper, they get most of their stuff out of a catolog the do some mods to it, others hand build the whole thing. The one I was looking at was $37K.BurlyShirley said:

Orange County Choppers's bikes are ridiculously overrated, like you said they dont build their own frames or roll their own fenders, many people could do in their garage what those clowns do. Their welds are mongoose quality, and they eyeball the placement of everything.
Did you see the great biker buildoff? The british team built one of the sexiest bikes I have ever seen, as did the asian guy that won it. I forget which shop it was.... but on one episode one of the shop guys had built himself a "sport chopper", sportbike geometery with chopper construction and the mandatory huge V-twin.
The Ness shop is dialed. Some of those IH and BD rides are painted up nicely. I'm just off 680 and I see a bunch of choppers hit the off ramp. I prefer mine low and beefy. I'm running Ness signals and mirrors.
The America Chopper's shows were nice to watch in the begining, now they are played out big time. Now they ACT instead of wing it. I never liked the designs of their bikes and I agree 100% that anyone could almost put one of their rides together. They don't make anything in house, everything is bought.
The biker build off's are a much better show. Those guys handbuilt everything they can. Paul Yaffe and the Martin Bro's bikes. God damm those are pretty bikes. I am 22, and wouldn't want a ricer bike, or a dirt bike yet, but a bike that you could cruise with and it'd be one of a kind, that is what it's all about.

Im with you on that, I had a CBR900RR when I was younger and all 7 of the guys I rode with bit it, wrecked thier bikes or the bike was stolen. Cars never heard us, we were way to fast for the Seattle roads. I love em' dont get me wrong, but riding a big V-twin they hear you coming and drivers have alot more respect for the bike, its weird..but I want a cruiser now too..Ill never buy another sport bike......to many hurt friends and close calls.....but to each thier own..just dont get hurt
heres the bike my buddy built "D-train cycles"
and the one I want!

the OCC guys are hacks, anyone could build a bike thier way. There are so many other comapnys that do it the right way and dont get credit...its kinda sad...Occ, has a killer marketing person, thats all...but at least Jesse James makes his own frames and other stuff...
His welds still suck, someone needs to show him a Moots so he will realize it. OCC got on the air because those guys are dumb rednecks that yell alot an americans like to watch stupid people act stupid on TV.bibs said:

How in the hell should you corner this bike... begin a mile ahead.?
Or can it only be used on straight streets.
?
I love those biker build-offsTheInedibleHulk said:

These bikes, the full on custom choppers, some turn, some like to go stright in a line. I like the low, fast, stealth look of a bike. Some of those bikes are so well crafted you don't even need a $10,000 paintjob on it for it to look killer. I think the appeal is how wide the rear tire is and how low to the ground it goes. I imagine they handle better in turns they looks show. It's a cruiser. Not a go around the track bike.
I hope when I'm wealthy enough that I can afford one of these beasts. Not only because they are hand made, but because you can say for sure "my bike is better than yours"
The Ness bikes are nice too. The thing I like most about the Ness bikes and the Martin Bro's bikes, along with some others is that they do everything themselves. From fabrication to assembly to PAINT!. How odd is that now days? They do it all, in house, 1 guy. Ness bikes is large so there might be many guys, but the smaller shops like Martin Bro's earn it. I know on that biker build off there's another guy who was in Boston that does his own paint as well. That's just crazy.
