I think they should have the OCC guys on Monster Garage..
i heard that jesse offered up a challange to the OCC boys for a bike build off but i really doubt that will happen. It dose look like discovery channel likedthe idea cause the have a "bike build off show" but no OCC Vs. West coast yet
That's the difference that a lot of people don't realize, between WCC and OCC. WCC fabs everything such as tanks, etc, where as OCC buys (has them made) their tanks, fenders, etc, out of house. No doubt OCC could create everything on their own, they just choose not to do it that way. Probably why an in house bike at OCC costs about 10 grand less then one from WCC.
I have a copy of American Iron around here somewhere and I remember that there was a write up on WCC and the author pointed out that fact as well, but at the same time he stated that, they do mass produce them in house so I guess they can all be considered hand made. Can't seem to find that mag right now though. Either way, if I were given $50,000 US and had to pick between the 2 builders, I would have to flip a coin. Unless Mikey was running the show for my bike, then it's a no brainer!
