OT PICS new OCC chopper
I don't want to litter the C3 forum with OT, but I know
quite a few of you guys that appreciate bikes, so check it out here:
Someone removed my link. I guess a courtesy message letting me know is out of the question. F-ing OT sux.

Look about 4 posts down. My buddy Dave built the blue bike.
He is a member here and currently has a 73 vette. Too bad he is
a tall **** - and has to sell her. I've known his 73 vette for
over 15 years - as it used to belong to another friend of ours.
EDIT EDIT EDIT
WTF !?!? I guess the post was too OT.
Yeah - some dingdongs called "dupe" since someone else posted their pics last night.
Should I have even bothered trying to use the search engine ?!
Well, I guess I will litter away.
So, my wife kept the kids out of school and drove down to Beantown
for the unveiling of teh Gilette M3 Power Nitro Bike.
My youngest son (9) took all the pictures. Boy, he got close.
He got all their autographs, etc.
After the OCC show they headed to my friend Dave's bike shop.
He built a nice custom chopper for another friend of ours.
Couple pics of that below.

the bike your buddy built looks very cool and more like something you can more comfortably ride than that OCC bike.
You friend's looks to have a swing arm, a decent seat, and a reach that wouldn't wear you out. That OCC bike LOOKs cool, but that's quite a reach for the bars, even with my long arms.
Even so, I'd like to see the epsisode where they build it. Those guys are a hoot!

The guy who he built it for doesn't really want it anymore.
He has trouble reaching the ground, burning on pipes, and too much power.
He's looking to get his $40k+ back from selling it.
The OCC bike will be in episodes airing April 18th and 25th (I hear).

OCC makes decent bikes, but my favorite builder is Exile Cycles...
http://www.exilecycles.com/
Their bikes are just plain bad.
