They are nothing but bike assemblers. Anyone can put all the parts together after receiving them in bubble wrap boxes. I attended a 9/11 run a few years ago, and half way down to ground zero they were pushing the SpiderMan bike on the shoulder.I thought SpiderMan was more reliable than that.? I was told Justin (bike painter) left at first because of not being paid. He was told air time on T.V. was payment enough. When they built the new shop bragging how all American they were, everything was Non-Union. So all local Unions set up picket lines. However, the shop was built by everything but Union Labor. So it's o.k. to put big price tags on the bikes, but building with Union Labor was too expensive.What Country did the Labor cost go to? The attitude and bikes still don't impress.IMO it's only a matter of time before everyone realizes that all the publicity in the world can't build an American Legend.
Sad to say but AMERICA is becoming a third world country; we are well on our way. The quality of work being done in the trades today is absolutely horrendous...........Trust me only going to get worse with this administration............took me 4 yrs of being a apprentice before I could call myself a mechanic now everyone is an expert including the so called bike assemblers.

Scroll down to the bottom and you'll see them listed there.
OCC is pure entertainment and everything they do, including all the tantrums are done for the Cameras.
These guys are not bike builders as much as they are simple bike assemblers. Yea maybe Paulie Jr. has some design thoughts etc but none of these guys could hold a candle to the likes of "Indian Larry" R.I.P.
Besides that, WHO is buying these high priced bikes? I never see one on the road or at a meet. For every one that does get sold, likely that 100-200 stock Harleys get sold, if not more.
