I stand by my opinion. :)

After all, it's just that.
Funny you should bring the chopper bicycle up, Ryan. Ever see the OCC one by (Pacific) Schwinn? Completely unuseable due to a shallow rake and and ridiculous amount of trail. Now look at the WCC chopper bicycle : mostly stretch and a decent rake/trail combination making the bike extremely rideable. I don't know who engineered it but isn't it interesting that the OCC bike is basically all about style and the WCC bike is actually rideable?

I guess I'm entitled to disagree.

My problem isn't with either WCC or OCC it's with the douchebag dude who puts the giant sticker on his truck, goes out with a bandana over his eyes and thinks he's a insta-ganster since he bought an air cleaner or something. Adults playing overnight dress-up-make-believe is just silly. That's the guy we should be ragging on.

The only thing worse than OCC or WCC, is people bitching and whining about them from their fucking milk crate pulpit in their "troo" garage where only "real bikes" are made.

I can't believe this is what people still waste their energy on.
I can't believe i just contributed.
I'm going to drink.
I suggest everyone else do the same.
:cool:

I really ain't trying to be the get along guy but...

When I was 9 years old it was the "Snake" and the "Mongoose" Hot Wheels. It was Evel Knievel, Bronson, Billy Jack and Bruce Lee.

If I was 9 today my fucking head would explode.

I designed one of the first bikes that got Jesse major magazine coverage, and it had saddlebags. He also told me he might have been the first guy to ever stretch a set of softail tanks.[end Conder quote]

(This was the drawing Conder did for Randall "Bandit" Ball...)

This was the very first time a Goodson Air Cleaner was ever on a bike photographed for a magazine feature. That was almost 10 years ago. Wow!

I remember being at Keith's place in Pedro and he had a Rapidograph/watercolor drawing of this bike framed on the wall, and I think Conder did that one, too.

And this was the finished bike done by Jesse James, Ron Simms...

My friend was down in Cabo San Lucas a couple years ago and they were SELLING THAT ART ON SOUVINEER T-SHIRTS. He brought me one back. They took my signiture off it. THAT'S why 9 year olds don't love ME!!!!!

I have ridden one of those OCC bicycles and they are a bitch to ride. I rode it around inside a store and almost hit numerous things. I would hate to see a little 8 year old try and ride one of those things. The WCC one looks alot more functional.
 
damn he is selling off all Jesse's football photo's!! haha gee thanks dad...hmm should I bid on official Jesse Jame's father's Playboy's? just think..a young Jesse James might have snuck in and looked at these when he was young!!! BID NOW!!!
 
After skimming all this...here is what I think...

JJ - Is the man, alot of folks are hating on him but I think or could only guess that he would be straight up. As far as money and fame Im sure if we were in his shoes.....

SR - I wouldnt say he is the man but I can only guess he is alright, again he is making enough money for his whole family and than some so he must be feeling pretty good considering he was a wreck not to long ago. The guy hit the Lottery in many aspects.

Now for JR - He is a punk *** who doesnt even ride; I sometimes watch the show and he looks like a fuckin jerk off. The kid makes bikes but than again if we did it all day every day with all that equipment in the garage Im sure we could also build a My Little Pony Bike and have someone else do everything on it that required any skill!!!!! JR should leave the bike building to someone with style and take the job as the shop gofer!

There are people who buy these bikes. They are typically lawyers pushing 60 with a 26 year old wife who has fake tits. They wear leather jackets with Annie Oakley tasells.
