The other guy, Rick, was hired up here by PoCono HD to run a custom shop, separate location than the dealership. Worked out good for Rick because he lives in the area

That's pretty cool. The Hard Rock Café that opened in Pigeon Forge TN a few years back had OCC's Hard Rock bike on display for a few weeks. Big ol' Baker tranny on that bad boy as well.


I think a lot of what the fellers like the Teutels and James, and quite a few others not quite as famous, are building is a lot more like art that rolls. Yeah you can ride 'em, but they're mostly just eye candy.


I'm sure it was happening some before, but the 60's and 70's were the heyday for "garage bikes" and where a lot of guys got their start. Guys with some fabricating skills started making frames, modifying stock stuff to get the rake and stretch and banging out their own sheet metal.


My old Lowrider shovel was one. It had been raked and stretched. Looked cool and was great on the highway, but had very little ground clearance.

That's it on the right with little brother in the saddle. I wish he would sell it back to me without trying to screw me over, but that just 'aint his way...

They got good pricing but we rarely ever "donate" anything. I like my pay check.
