The plumber bike.

You are so lucky to have so many smart folks, keeping your investment from being a death trap…

i bet when they were all in ace hardware they just agreed to buy one of each thread pitch because in the cut scene they were just all looking at each other like " which one do we get " lmao

That camera it's new to me! That looks like a interesting alternative to Disney's GoPro.💯 In matters to that beautiful flourescent chopper, I would keep the frame, weld a support for a springed seat on it, swap the lame unfinished supercharged engine (sell it) for a smaller reliable one - along with its respective acessories, a decent fuel tank, etc. - Otherwise: sell it to the other gentleman in the 1st episode! The one who worked on it and wants to buy it from you. GET YOU MONEY BACK! 😉

You should now buy a Paul Jr. Designs bike, this would be a great review.

He was absolutely correct when he said that on stage on the bike built of against sr and jr

Junk

How is it that he is able to ride this good looking POS on the roads with out a license plate or a headlight? I understand the hand signals are legal in some states.

​@@coyboybc huh?

​@@327JohnnySS good looking? No way.

😂...my thoughts exactly

or lean@@Mikegastaldo

the bike was never ride more than 15 minutes before !!!!bravo Orange County Chopper !!!🤣👏👏 it sux !!TV shows ........

@@kawanbat7143 yep next let me tell you about Bear Grylls >

Good call👀

Sell it for the same he got it for, the 10k. -5k since it has much much more wear than when he offered 15. While its in better running order its also now less showroom ready, being dirtied up after so much running. Besides, He's gunna make enough on these videos to make up for it anyway! I'd keep that watch though. That prolly could fetch a decent penny itself too.

This video alone has 3 million views. Which is about 5-10k $ . Plus his other videos have even more views . Way more than the $15kmoffered…

@@TheDigitalThreat much more wear bro he got it running that alone boosts the value by quite a bit.

Exactly. Now that would be a smart investment, a 50% return on your money

You mean Tavarish?

It basically is that... Wonder why it would feel like something it almost is...

It is, occ is pimp my ride for motorcycles

But the quote that had me laughing was the insurance quote from Geico!!!

🤣🤣🤣

😅😅😅

@@stclairstclair Yeah, $1,750 a year for insuring a bike you might actually get to ride 50 miles in a year. OCC choppers are beautiful as yard art but nothing anyone could ever consciously buy to ride. It hurts my heart a little to imagine all of the poor suckers who bought these pretty boat anchors thinking they could ride them for any length of time. And that insurance quote was a good dose of reality as well. Motorcycle insurance for someone his age should be way cheaper, that's like $150/month. Probably still less expensive than the monthly repair/maintenance bill for that heap.

60% of the time, works every time. Mouhahahahah

They edited out: 'Badly'.

@@ATEC101 of course they did. why wouldnt they? xD

Honestly I would think if ANY of their creations handled well it would be the makings of a miracle.

😂😂

it is a fancy looking pos

It's a show bike, wow shock and horror 😂😂 to be looked at like when it arrived on the base unridden.. Ffs you guys are simple people

Oh yes every episode on Discovery Channel after Tutus bad temper.

bwa-hahahahahahahaha!

To me it's so typical reality TV that orange county choppers looked good but ran like sheet😅😅😅made 4 TV😂😂😂seriously🎉🎉🎉

You can’t polish this turd……. best bike builder in the world can’t make this right

I learned as a kid when I crashed my trail 70 on a gravel road it's definitely worth dressing for the slide not the ride.

I'm surprised Snap On is still in business with poor decisions like that. What a complete waste of money. I bet you can count on one hand how many tool sets they sold from the marketing campaign.

@@spartanx169x They're in business because a whole lot of mechanics swear by their business model of charging big money to bring you hand tools on a truck.

Well, if snap on built a bike it would be around a million I would imagine.

The Snap On Bike was in Cambridge Ontario at Canadian Tire for a weekend a bunch of years ago. For a bike that was never really ridden it sure looked beat up...

Considering how Snap-On rolls business wise, that's fair play! 😂

my thoughts pal

only looking at it made me want to call my physio.

Now i gotta ask: what guitars are those?

​@@MarmaladeMakitwo Gibsons

Les Pauls for sure. I fight mine daily

@@Ian-lm5ep LOL that's funny as I keep considering getting a les paul but I'm incredibly, it's quite a skill actually, INCREDIBLY good at knocking guitars over. Even in stands. I've a wooden floor where I keep my guitars which is not helpful. I've managed to break the headstock on others more than once, and while I love Les Pauls I'm scared to get a real one as they are notorious for snapping necks when knocked over. So I think if I got one I'd scared to actually use it, it'd tend to hang on the wall. My telecaster is fantastic, its headstock seems designed for clumsy oafs, it's got basically a 0 degree back angle. I'll get a les paul "style" I think, cheaper .. and one that looks like it can take a toppling. Les Paul body with telecaster headstock is the dream, why is this not made!

​@@Ian-lm5ep How's your truss rod set up?

end of every episode... this needs to be done tomorrow... 100k build needs to be done in a week...

It's the same issue with latter seasons of Mythbuster's. The producers got involved too much and dramatized it. Early Mythbusters was way better, I couldn't stand all the fake charisma. Shows like OCC were even worse with the drama and fakery. Just give me a show documenting a real bike shop without setups and personality drama.

I would never allow anyone to build anything for me that insists on those insane time restraints.

Even though Boyd was not the best person around, I'm pretty sure all his cars were drivable, even though they might not be street legal. Same with the stuff done by Foose.

Comparing OCC to Boyd or Chip is ridiculous 😂 Both have built many cars that worked well and were works of art. Just not for a tv show

That comment has stood the test of time. Agree.

You do realize that the majority of the bikes made on the show, were literally NOT made to be ridden. They were made to be interesting art. This is nothing new. For the better part of 5 decades there have been people making Choppers that were meant to be looked at, not ridden. As a very young man, I used to look at some of the bikes on the covers of magazines like Chopper, and said, "that's ridiculous." But the show served as a vehicle for company exposure. For weeks, people would tune in and hear the company's name over and over and over. Then the company gets to put the chopper in their lobby as a conversation piece. I saw the bike made for Bill Murray, down here in Florida. It was fun to look at, especially because I had seen the show. I also saw several of their "show bikes" down here in Daytona when they brought them down. Fun to look at. It should be noted that the vast majority of Orange County Choppers were NOT like this chopper in the video. They were what they called "production bikes." Those WERE meant to be ridden. I cannot speak authoritatively about them because I have never ridden them, but I have seen people who did own them, and they all enjoyed riding them. I think what's lost on people is that OCC was just a custom production chopper business. One of those channels was looking for reality tv content for shows. So they contacted OCC. Paul Jr has an artistic talent, so the channel wanted him to make art. The world came to know them for Paul Jr's art. But that's a tiny fraction of the motorcycles they built. Thus, I would classify the title of this video as clickbait. If he were being honest, he would have said an OCC Show Bike. Every problem he has with this motorcycle is because it was meant to be art, not a daily rider. But his title lumps this bike in with all of their daily riders.

​​@@leroyrussell8766Makes zero sense to me to build bikes with the purpose not to be driven. Build furniture then

@@user-rr7bv6my4e As somebody who has made custom furniture, some of it is meant to be more functional and less art, while some is meant to be less functional and more art. Now correct me if I'm wrong, but Jesse James did Monster garage. Those vehicles were Not meant to be daily drivers.. For Geico, that bike served its purpose. A tax write off for a promotional activity. And it gave them something to look interesting in their lobby. It might simply help to understand that it was never created for somebody like you or me to ride everyday. It's like looking at a Top Fuel dragster and saying, I don't see the point of a car I can't drive to work everyday. See my point?

@@leroyrussell8766 The whole show was build around building custom motorcycles. Motorcycles are fun and attractive because you can drive them. Without that core element it's just art,you just can as well take the wheels and engine of, build a table.

They love it from an engineering project or art standpoint, like the Mona Lisa comment from the braids guy.

You love it when someone else owns it, like a boat.

Thats a sign of laughing how shitty this bike performes compared to the hipe... thats what I read in their faces. its unbelieve.

yeah thats stupid move. "nahhh i dont want the guy who built it to work on it to actually fix it".

He probably wants a stupid amount of money to work on it

@@helium5912 What are the chances the dude that built the bike is literally a 20 second walk from their shop? How lucky they were. Instead they had guys working on the bike who didn’t have a clue and they kept screwing it up more and more. I kept watching to see when they were going to have him come look at it and it never happed. I can’t believe it. Smh. 🤦🏻‍♂️

@@AlexRides808more than he’s paying the dealership to work on it? Doubtful lol

It didn't fit the script. His neighbor takes pride in his work and definitely would have got this thing running right. Not to consult him and take it to Harley was weak. Now this bike has a black cloud over it.

Prob. screwed up her numbers for the day, hope she didn't get in trouble.

Just goes to show that bikes should be built by engineers, not freakshow "entertainers" with little idea about _anything at all._ Engineers like Allan Millyard, for example.

Lol where was this????

@@k.v.b.1865 didn’t aaassk

OH YEAH.... BANKRUPTCY!!

I was gonna ask about their "production" bikes and if they were any good, that answers that lol!

Also; "Verdict? -Best bike I ever owned, most reliable." -It get's you from point A... point A. (No mention of point B) 😅

They paid for it before OCC built it. Ironic, but not their fault.

This bike was clearly intended only as a show bike to use as part of an advertising campaign so they didn't put the same effort into making sure it was safe to ride any distance or length of time as they would expect of the usual kinds of bikes they insure.

It looks like a nightmare. A Death bike.☠️🤙👋

*literally

Jesse James said it best "Those OCC Guys Are Nothing But Cake Decorators" · FACTS..

The article lied :) It never encapsulated "300hp" in quotation marks like I just did, i.e, to be interpreted as if those who built it said that. Sorry, but OCC is clear on this one.

Seriously, who would actually believe it made 300hp. The jokes on those who actually did.

Dude almost every Harley knew this didn't have 300hp without a turbo 😅😅.. I was like yeah ok yeah right 😅

They pretty much welded crap over already built frame parts and things done by other people.

Great eye! Great catch. I could not enjoy the show because of the shouting and fighting. I honor and respect my Father ( as well as my mother) but the father and son fights put me off to that show.

@@Taino871 In many episodes, they'd just need a tank and grab one that was already made and just put the necessary holes for fuel and the filler cap. If they didn't go for those cuckoo designs, he would most likely pull entire frames already welded and so on. Then you compare that with Boyd's show, where a lot of stuff from panels to wheels were manufactured in-house and they showed it being done on camera.

I was racing in Wallkill NY at Walden A Motocross track and my dad wanted to stop by OCC, they were closed so bummed we didn't stop there though, this was 2003, Miss ya dad,

😅 too much hate😂

A couple of the older guys in the dyno room without hearing protection…Eh? What was that? 😂😂 Nope, I done enough damage to my hearing that I’m going to protect what’s left.

You can tell from the when we met him on the last video that he loves bikes, this is his lifelong passion for sure. He knows his stuff and takes it all to heart. Dudes a pure soul, an excited teenager in a grown man's body.

Oof. They say "never meet your heroes".... Well, you could extend that to "never buy your dream custom chopper" lol

That's a great buisness model take a crappy $2500 "cheap custom" and sell for $80,000 to people that like SHINY things lol $77500 PROFIT

The show was an infomercial

That's a damn shame

I know someone who bought a Big Dog for something like $50,000. It was a hundred times the bike an OCC is. He kept it for 2 years, put something like 1500 miles on it, and was hard pressed to sell it for $8000. The entire custom chopper fad was total bullshit. Only an idiot would buy any of them new.

To build a car or motorcycle that runs and not just for show should at least take a couple of years if not more depending on what you want it to look like and run like

@@user-bq8ou4zk9s How the hell should it take a custom shop a couple of years to build a motorcycle or even a car? That's absolutely ridiculous. A meticulous shop with plenty of skilled staff should be able to complete a quality build in a few months if all the parts are available.

Pimp my ride was even worse because they wern't building new cars for celebs. They took what was alot of the families only vehicle and turned it into a hunk of junk.

Tavarish has the pink van from the show. In his first video about the van he stated that PMR bought a very similar van (in better condition) and modded that one. The original car was very probably sent to the junkyard after being ripped apart.

Had one of those pimp my ride cars roll through my shop right around the time I got started wrenching on cars. Yeah we found a rust spot and per state rules we had to see how much rot there was. We dug about 4 pounds of bondo out of the rocker panel ( which was exposed after the side skirt fell off cause it was attached to the 4 pounds of bondo ). We had to tell him it was uninspectable and the father understood when he saw the literal pounds of oddly shaped bondo chunks on the floor. I can’t remember what car it was but I know the dad was telling his kid they were going to trade it in. He asked us to put the side skirt on well enough to get it to the Toyota dealer. When he came in a week later he said the dealer offered him 1000 bucks for the reject and he told his son to take the offer. Hope it met its end via cash for clunkers cause it was a rotten death trap

You are so correct. This man is a motorcycle John Browning.

Millyard would scrap it and build something decent with the parts.

Yeh, OCC was all the gear with no idea. Millyard actually knows how to build a bike right.

Millyard hates Harley’s

Again a builder who builds something that’s not going to kill him, or that’s not intended to be a giant lobby decoration

I agree Beautiful and runs Ducati 916👍

i wish it did that thing is bad with the supercharger

Exactly. I could bolt together a non working motorbike given the basically unlimited budget they had.

You couldn't make it look good enough for celebrities and businesses to want one. Unless you're by chance also a skilled artist, like those at OCC.

​@@albertorivera4745not the best example of a reliable bike 😊, but beautifull and timeless for sure.

Now that you say that, I noticed not ever once they showed any close ups to where you can see any welds or anything like that when they were on air

Cosplayers have the 5 foot rule. Can't see the hot glue and duct tape holding it together. 🤣

Yep, nice from afar, but far from nice🤷🏼‍♂️

He was really good at yelling at his son also

I found it funny that when they made a bike for the younger employee (I wanna say Cody) it was a much smaller and lighter bike and seemed like the one practical bike I've seen them build. Although I don't know if the stick shift is very sensible. But idk much about motorcycles and I didn't watch it that much, so I might have some details mixed up.

LOL!

Probably? Both of them are great bikes and this yellow thing is a piece of crap.

It’s sad really how obvious this is and people still don’t get it. Watched the show all the time and never really saw them try to claim they were making good handling, practical bikes ect. It was always about just looking as cool as possible

@@pipedown7969Thought they had a line of production bikes that were made for the road. They were not part of the show but sold through their shop. The ones on the show were art pieces.

I’m reading the bit about art and imagining Clarkson’s voice. Lol!

@@pipedown7969 Yeah, I actually loved the show. I was a teenager back then and even I knew these bikes weren't made for riding.

​@@pipedown7969Too bad they were never cool either. Just making non-functional bikes that look ridicilous.

They’re probably paying him $20k usd for this video.

I liked the information 😊

Too funny, hadn’t seen your comment…wrote about the same observations…the forced ads are bad enough but all the plugs throughout the video on top of the ads (10-12 in total) are just getting going beyond painful. The thing is ..the creators claim they don’t have control…which is BS.

This is actually his second OCC bike.

ONLY IF you were not into THAT kind of candy. They SERVED THEIR PURPOSE VERY, VERY, VERY WELL!!!!

tbh, I'd prefer to look at a classic bike like a BMW R60 or some 50s/60s Honda, than this kind of rolling garbage.

Im putting the guy running the dyno to be in charge of this stuff if it were just me i would be content with holding the front brake lol

@@BikesandBeards What front brake?

That many people milling around the dyno room is dangerous.

You've got to hand it to Sean; during the whole test ride, he never said the words" what a piece of "Sh it" even once, I couldn't have been that restrained! '"

bet Harley built the 'cycle he was riding!

I agree, then stick a BMW R1300 engine in it, remove the supercharger, bolt on a nice screen, maybe add some rear suspension, and finally some heated grips?

If you replaced enough things, finishing it off with a BMW logo, it'll be a pretty good bike.

You might want to safety wire the oil cap while your making adjustments just in case.

Just take the supercharger with 1 lb of boost off for a start.

There are always more surprises in store when you have an OCC bike

Yep absolutely. That bike is a stupid unridable piece of crap. A 125cc scooter would be better.

The good news is, they can often re-attach the arm with modern surgery.
