Bonneville America Forums Forums Off Topic Discussion Forums Lounge Triumph and OCC teaming up?

I look at it like this.. It is kind of 2 fold,

Triumph will get some market reconision,

And OCC will get more air time..

Yes they will most likley build a (chopper) that will hardley be ridden and toted around the country.. But remember folks Diffrent strokes for diffrent folks..Hate them all you want, but they found a nitc in the market and are making money hand over fist beacuse of it.. They are bike builders, Paul Jr has some impressive ideas for the bikes he builds, and Daddy bank rolls it for him.. It works for them so let it ride..

The TV showis a bit of a joke, but remember maybe 50% of the people who watch it dont have bikes,much less the diff in a chopper, bobber,prostreet,crusier,bagger etc etc.. All the see is someone making a bike, thats what America wants and The Discovery Channel provides it.. I personaly dont care for the show, matter of fact I had my cable TV shut off since i am never home ( 70 more a month I can put into bikes), But I have met them and they are or seem to be a nice bunch of guys.. they truley love bikes in all shapes and forms..

That being said,

They should build a bobber with the new 865 motor, nice paint job (the flat black "bad boy " look is played out" some nice wheels (no more spokes please) and some custom pieces that can easily be made by Joe Schmo at home with simple tools.. Oh andthey have to use a Triumph tank, even if modified, has to start as that...
