man that Gears of war 3 trike came out insane. the paint is incredible. and the gatlin guns i dont remember then talking about or showing in fab, but are sweet. over all its insane and perfect for the customer. the wheels are sick. love the whole thing. i also have to hand it to Sr. too though. ive actually liked the last two bikes theyve built too. the hardrock bike with that guitar seat tank combo was cool. and i really love the wheels on tonight wyotec bike. |

Did you catch the outcome of the Cadillac build off ? 242k votes for Jr. and 9k votes for Sr. LMFAO. I literally sat there and busted out laughing. |

I almost shed a tear when he said he was going to have to cut back to a smaller shop.. YEAH RIGHT... The old man got cocky and let his ego get the best of him. I see Rick will be the next to split. You can tell there is stuff going on that isn't being shown on TV. I wish both of them the best of luck, but ego will screw both of them and they were so much better when they worked together. |

put a nice olive drab paint job on it and I would love to have it. The design is great, just not sure about the steering.

My cable provider cut Discovery a year or so ago, just after Jr. got fired from the shop, but I had already kind of lost interest. When it was a bike building show it was cool, but I didn't need the continuous Jerry Springer and a bike appearing out of nowhere at the end of the episode.

I just realized the vulcans are the exhaust (my brother has the same on his bike). That means you get exhaust in your face while you ride...

Motorcycles shouldn't have training wheels. |

It'd be better if the rider was leaning way forward or way backward, not sitting straight up like he was taking a dump. |

Steering was poorly executed...there were so many better ways to do it...even using the push/pull cables. Nothing like riding a trike that was intended to look "sinister" and riding it in the ole "grandpa's beach cruiser" position.

It just looks all off. Not a well thought out plan in my opinion. Typical of what Junior and OCC have always put out. I will say though that some of the newer designs OCC has done have gotten better. There's just too much crap on the trike for me, too busy, gives me a headache looking at it. It definitely should have had the rider sitting lower and the upper body pulled more forward. To me, that's the whole problem with not having a real design process up front. It's funny how Junior said the company didn't require it when in reality he couldn't provide it. I believe Discovery is the real driver behind sales for them and nothing more. With so many better bike builders out there neither Junior nor OCC would be anywhere near my top ten list if I had the means to get a custom bike built. As for the drama, I think it's been 99.9% staged for a while now. Too much of what's going on including the head quarters foreclosure seems contrived. One thing I will never understand though is that idiot Mikey. Talk about someone who does absolutely nothing yet seems to always have plenty of money. How many different failed careers can one guy have. The latest garbage with his art is just pitiful. I have seen better at my kid's elementary school. |
