Once in a great while a motorcycle inspires me... It says BUY ME... Of course I would have to say that about something that isn't at my level of affordability, nor is it what the popular people like. The more I watched the show the more I realized I was tired of Juniors spiderwebs and obvious attempts to make the cruiser into a sport bike. Senior really has the sense for style - especially with his retro/modern old-school series. These bikes sing to me like the drifters of the 40's. There is a romance to a beautiful motorcycle that enables it to take your breath away just sitting on the pavement. This bike has a wonderful green paint - simple yet striking and of course the natural leather theme I have been working to implement on my bike. I would be hard pressed to choose between this and a drifter with all of it's flowing sheet metal - you see it's not about how fast you go, but how good you look getting there - and how much you enjoy the ride. Almost any motorcycle will go fast enough to ensure you are seriously maimed or killed should a mishap occur - but only certain ones can destroy all or part of you with style and finesse. This bike from OCC is one of those that has that superceding elegance. If you're a yuppie looking to impress me, do it with good taste and purchase a classic like this instead of a Hummer. That way I can get it cheap when you trade it in because you dropped it in your driveway and scared yourself so badly while doing so that you pooped your pants.

I think the bike is pretty cute. It's not just about looking good to me though... I know I know... I ride a rustrocket. So of course my view on how a bike looks is going to differ.
However, that said, I think that the amount of money they charge for the bikes is obscene. I don't want a bike only yuppies drive and resell when they shit their pants.
I am reminded of a comment my own mother made once when picking up a bike for Trance.
The guy told her that he was selling the bike because he was so afraid of getting hurt and getting in an accident... to which she replied:
"Yes, I know it can be a scary experience... both my sons have had wrecks and they still ride... but then again, my sons aren't pussies."
In that instance she was referring to both her tough as nails sons... me and daedae.
I think that is pretty much what every biker would hope their mom's would say :)
How fast does that OCC thing go?
And yes, and Junior is a punk.
Either you ride a cruiser or you ride a rocket. But hybrids typically look like crap. It says "I can't decide which biker guy I want to emulate, I know I'll be a pathetic mix of both!"
