    because he doesn't even build bikes anymore, do you not know that? The biggest thing he's done since he's been building bikes is cheat on his wife. if your a jesse fan obviously you should know that

    how do you know he hasnt been building bikes? because he doesnt do it on tv? im not really a fan of any of them but respect the work they do. the biggest thing huh? you must watch too much tv. pretty sure you dont live with him nor do you know what he does in his every day life so you cant sit there and say he doesnt build bikes anymore blah blah i guess since you know so much about him you also know about all the other business investments he has. :rolleyes: i really dont have time to argue with you about this. just stating the facts. cant say what people do in there lives unless your with them 24/7

    Because he said it like 1 million fucking times in the show?

    Anyhow... here is my take on all this shit.

    Jesse has a lot more fabrication skill by himself, but keeps making the same thing. I like his style, but you can only see it so many times. I do like the weird projects he made in the past though. There are many other who are far more skilled and creative though. Indian Larry's chain bike comes to mind if you going for that style chopper.

    JR... He does have an arrogant attitude... He knows his way around a bike and what it takes to make a good bike. The Anti Venom comes to mind. He is a pretty creative person, but seems to go overboard. For example, I loves the copper and nickel motor, but fuck, he went overboard. The wheels were retarded, even if they were interesting. He also should have made the bike be functional. I know it is a build off, but I recall past build offs where they had to ride the bike a long way. Art is nice and all, but it is pointless if you can only stare at it. If there was a daily less flashy version of this bike, it would be a winner.

    SR. I do not even know what he is thinking nowdays. I like the more streamlined and less cluttered bikes they are putting out lately, but for this competition, that piece of shit he let Jason design is retarded. He should just fire Jason, the kid is such an idiot. If I was Jesse, that would be the guy I would be making fun off... even though JR deserved the video Jesse did imitating him.

    Having said all this, this show was a joke. They need to bring back something like the old biker build off. Real fabrication, less drama. This soap opera needs to die.

    Jesse james was building the sickest bikes long before TV recognized him period. The Teutels had a B.S. shop and got regonized. If it wasn't for Jesse paving the way Paul SR. he would't be living in that beautiful home on that huge piece of land with all those nice animals. Fact is Jesse had a very sucessive shop long before tv found him, those other guys got lucky with the show and live luxurious lifestyles from what Jesse started. Ghey. Yes my grammer sucks.

    I like to watch the guys ... "fabricate" ... not just ... "assemble" .... but that would make the show too long for TV.

    On one show (series) , I watched "Indian Larry" (I think that was his name) build a bike from scratch and that was really neat ... :D

    OOC was around before the TV show picked them up. OCC Iron Works was around in the 70's, and I belive they started building bikes in the late 90's. They were a "hole-in-the-wall" bike builder, that had some pretty dam good designs. They had bikes at Dytona Bike Week a few times before their show began. The show started in 2002, and OCC was the second choice for it. It took off bacuase of the personalities of the crew, Mikey, Jr. and Sr. and their unscripted antics. Yes, some things are done for the show, and I doubt they would have been as well known if not for the TV show. But.....thats no reason to try and discredit them. They have a different style than those on the west coast. Thats not news. Weather or not they are better "fabricators" than another builder is a silly comparo.

    Of course they are good fabricaters and I have watched the show since the beginning, they were good and won bike shows before tv. They were still very small and if you remember from that first year there shop was like a big garage, Jesse already had a huge shop and his name was everywhere before tv found him. I'm really sure he is the one that got the ball rolling so the little guy {Teutels} had a spot. That's all. Indian Larry is a legend and I will not forget him. :pray:

    im actually not sticking up for him "buddy". im not a true fan of any of them and have no interest really in choppers as ive already said. i was making a point that you can not say if he has or has not been building choppers since hes not on tv how can you say what he really has done these past years, obviously i was wrong, i apologize for missing him say that on the show, i honestly didnt pay attention to half of it. but then again, he could be lieing since the biggest thing hes done lately is cheat on his wife...oh wait nevermind i might get accused of sticking up for someone i dont give a fuck about :rolleyes:

    I think Jr's looked really nice. Its not a "rider" but it is still a motorcycle. Seniors was not a motorcycle. I think Jesse made good points but the cocky attitude cost him votes.

    With that said I saw an OCC bike show on the Intrepid in New York City way back when they had the spider man bike. May have been the first year the show was out? They were really cool and were greeting everyone that came up. I cant vouch for their current attitudes
