Brace yourself

OCC is coming out with it's own cologne.

No joke.

I saw the bike and it looks really really bad. It is hard to tell what is going on there with the design.

Pics of the chopper are here. It is a bit ugly, but the shape of the tank is pretty cool.

Maybe a little too much yellow, but still a cool bike.

You got some serious leg muscles there, brother!

It is kind of hard to see what's going on with that bike. Too yellow for sure, but I love the gas tank.

When a friend told me he saw the bike on The Tonight Show the first thing I asked was if it had Hed3 wheels. It'll be interesting to watch the show and see why they chose to go with spoked wheels. At any rate I think the spoked wheels look pretty cool and are probably easier for John Q Public to indentify with a bicycle.

=====================================
It's ALL about the bike!

It smells like Paul Sr.'s size 12's.

Stale PBR, maybe??? Oh, that's right, they don't drink.

Didja ever notice that all LBS's and Pep Boys smell the same, like tires???

That airport smell you recognize is equal parts coffee (with cream and sugar) and kerosene.
