Great work! A+ on that assignment… Good job on the exhaust pics.

mixtacy620 · 01-23-2012, 03:55 PM

i just want to apologize for not taking any pics of the paul jr design bikes... i could not belive how many people were swarming over their "creations" while ediie trotta was standing next to his stuff right across..

sirbOOm · 01-23-2012, 08:12 PM

Paul Jr. is far better than OCC. Sr. actually made some cool bikes back before TV. Neither are the best at what they do but they're both better than me. They made some goofy bikes... that's for sure. I'd look at their bikes just to find the imperfections you can't see on TV and be surprised if I can't find any. But I'd spend more time at booths where the bikes are less showey, more classic/bobber/dangerous.

Don't ge me started on PJD or OCC.

I respect every builder out there. Most don't do what I like but the level hit by Trotta etc is frickin awesome & you have to love that.

You think of all the builders out there and all the cool shit that's being produced.

Then you have the OCC cnts who ,,,,,,,,,,

Never mind,,, let's just say they are the exception to the rule.

BAM!

(But they don't shim the engine/tranny so everything cracks later... ssshh).

sk8rod · 01-24-2012, 02:02 PM

Meanstreettattoo · 01-27-2012, 08:45 PM

Wish I went I really wish I had my bike finished I would have showed it there just for shits and giggles so you could see with limited exp. tools and cash but a whole lot of heart can do, I'm proud of what I ride my partner in the Bermuda tattoo shop has an older occ chopper and it's pretty but must be a bitch to ride and forget about abuse in the streets it was born a trailer queen, mix next year we gotta hook up for the show

Why a new fender? Longer?

Meanstreettattoo · 01-31-2012, 04:59 AM

I wanted a running brake light and needed it to be protected from tire rub and Pete hooked me up also I had Ric's painter make my red stripe wider and longer on the rear fender

HrdNox · 01-31-2012, 05:07 AM
