What do you think of Vinny and Cody's first Chopper since leaving OCC (Orange County Choppers)?

It looks quite ordinary to me

Answer 1

Looks like a "bare bones" chop , gettin' back to basics, to me.

I like it better than the corp bike OCC builds.

Answer 2

it's a copycat chopper, just like every other copycat chopper that OCC and jessie james makes....

nothing original, just the same frame, the same raked forks, the same "custom" fenders the same "custom" tank...

bolt on a few pretties here, chrome this, powder coat that, BORING designs...

want to see something unique?

Answer 3

looks like a bike consisting of $15,000-$18,000 worth of bolt on parts that they will expect by adding their name and some elbow grease should have it sell for $50,000

worst part is, someone will pay it

i don't get ready made choppers... they are supposed to be something you build yourself.  

i would be very proud of that bike if i built it myself, someone else does it and it strikes me as no different than any old used soft tail.  i'd buy a ready made chopper for a reasonable price, but sure wouldn't pay up the ridiculous money people claim them to be worth.

i just shake my head when you read a classified ad for someone's chopper they claim "over $40,000 into it" or some other ridiculous claim, you can't spend that on building a bike

Answer 4

Looks like just another OCC piece of c**p.

Answer 5

It is completely underwhelming. This style of bike lives in a world where form is more important than function and hence why I personally feel that this custom style is meaningless on so many levels. The Vforce machine is quite unspectacular on the form side and compared to real world bikes will be pretty useless.

If they want to take on the big boys in the hairdresser biking world then they need to up their game a lot.

Answer 6

Definitely not the wow factor. I think the 1st bike is relatively clean but very simple. It's great that they left though. Paul sr is a prick to me. I was getting tired of the theme bikes anyway. If I had to pick a bike builder I would go with Matt Hotch or Ed Trotta.

Answer 7

Simple, clean design.  Pretty good "flow" from the tank to the rear fender.  I do like the design of the wheels.  

But it is just another stretched out chopper.  Hard to be original these days with so many builders on the scene.

Also while I admire the craftsmanship it takes to build a good chopper, I would never own one.  I like to ride.  Choppers are not designed for riding any distance.  

For my money (if the people at the Lottery would ever get their act together and pick my numbers) I would visit two different builders.

Richard Pollock of Mule Motorcycles and Hank Young of Young Choppers and Hotrods.

Mr. Pollock offers streettrackers and Mr. Young offers old school choppers and bobbers.  Both are real craftsman in their respective fields.  Hank Young was featured on an episode of The Great Biker Build-Off series on the Discovery channel.  I like how the frame wraps around the hand built gas tank.  So many builders offer bikes where the tank just appears to be sitting on top of the frame.  

Richard Pollock's machines would be a blast to ride on the road.  And there is nothing being offered today that has the looks of a streettracker.  Also NOTHING on the road today has the sound of a vertical twin.  

That's my opinion and I am sticking to it.

Unless something comes along to change it.

Answer 8

Nothing special there.It looks like the same junk the OCC guys are turning out for a production bike.Hopefully it isn't built using a POS Revtech engine.

Answer 9

Its a typical looking chopper to me.

Answer 10

who cares,they're has-beens,they had thier shot at fame,now they're nobody's.

Answer 11

Magz that bike is nasty

Answer 12

I think Vinny has a strong head on his shoulders and carried a lot of weight{did most of the work with a small amount of credit} while with OCC.



These "chopper" shops seem to be popping up every where, just another stretched out piece of metal. It is good to see some can still live the dream{owning their own business}. I quit watching OCC a long time ago, got SICK of their ego's.

Answer 13

No **** did not even no that those two left the show.

We are so far behind in the world

Yeah love the style looks good

All choppers rule they are just to dare.

You have a good Question the best i have seen so far.

Thanks for the link cool

OOC Have lost the best worker there.

Answer 14

agreed... looks plain

i prefer bobber plain

Answer 15

Its great to see that they are out from under the Teutuls. I wish them all the best

Answer 16

I tend to agree with Magz

Answer 17

i like it, its looks fairly simple design but it is striking, probably best for the 1st bike. i didnt even know they had left occ. did they leave on good terms?

Answer 18

Yup, very ordinary.

We build much better bikes here in the U.K.!
