Would have been better if the '54 had been a junker that they redone... Not that survivor...

If he keeps his grades up, mommy and daddy just might buy something for him.

OCC opened in 1999 and the show debuted several years later. I think what you're thinking about is that the show aired several months after they moved into their current facility, but that was about 2 years ago. Here's one link that says when they started and a link to their official site. Also, they are planning on a new facility that should be done later this year or early next year and plan on having a 70,000-square-foot building which will include a retail store, garage with public viewing area, film-shooting facility and corporate offices. It'll be where the company will do most of its bike work and where the Discovery Channel show "American Choppers" will be filmed. You can read more about that here.

I love this show and watch it all the time. Those guys are a hoot...get a little out of hand on occasion, but for the most part it's all in fun. The bikes they turn out are fantastic and they do alot of projects that are for a good cause. Look forward to watching this show for years to come.

Dunno what you're on about but, They'd been open for some while before the show... I used to see their bikes in magazines before they had the show.

I am going to be as nice as I possibly can. There is nothing wrong with working at McDonalds or any other fast food joint like that. It's not about money...it's about learning to be responsible and the beginning of a journey through life. I'm sure most of the other members have work jobs they didn't really want to...I know I have...and it's not anything to be ashamed of or thumb your nose at. Good grades...well obviously they aren't in spelling or english, which definitely could use some improvement.

Enough said. If you want to ramble...please take it to the lounge and keep the rest of the threads on topic. Thank you.
