I'm not sticking up for these guys by any means, but really, just how many ways can you take two wheels, engine and a steerable front end and make completely new and unique design?

Think about it, my bike alone, 1500 red versions, 1500 yellow version and 800 or so green versions. Nothing more then the same old designs with different makeup.

Every year at the spring Daytona rally, I'm never disappointed with the innovation the custom bike builders bring to the table.  It is worth the annual trip even if the other 'attractions' weren't present.  har.  spyder

That point is made during the discussions. Makes it easier to see why some of the companies that you have seen featured would even have a motorcycle

Here's the part I don't get. A lot of these theme bikes are sitting on the showroom floor at OCC still. How does that work ?

You could speculate they got their half hour of television exposure (plus reruns) and really didn't G.A.S. about the bikes themselves...

I just dont get it. OCC and PJD bikes are a FUKING joke. I wouldnt be cought dead on one of these piles of SH!T.

Try riding that blinged out TURD for more than a block. Most of the bikes they build have way to much rake and WAY to wide of a rear wheel. You would be lucky to do a u turn in a walmart parking lot.

First look at PJD new V smack chopper!
