Wow Wolf you really have great logic. Why would it even be at the dragon for one.Two you wishing it was hanging from the tree of shame means you wish the bike got crashed and a possibility that someone (my buddy) gets hurt or worse. You sound like a very intelligent person for being 40 years old. I for one like the bike for the thought that went into it. If you don't like it thats cool I can relate to it. Better to say nothing at all. |

The video is LAME. Was that Triumph even running well? With 140 hp, it has more than enough power to spin that back wheel. It sounded odd, too - Daytonas had this crazy intake howl. That seems to be gone.
As for the Harley: they oughta have one like it in next year's lineup. Put it right next to the Street Bob on the sales floor... |

Sorry but the OCC bike just are getting tiresome.
Well to be honest I'd agree, but OCC do have a really clever knack of theming a motorcycle on the money so to speak. Like 'em or not, they are good at it.
The point of posting the pic of the Lincoln chop was to show that the Ferrari F1 chop thing doesn't work pretending to be styled from a car whilst the Lincoln does. Frankly though, the Lincoln chop is a crystal chandelier on wheels to me, and I much prefer your friends fat thing, except it's too long at the rear end. Junk the sss arm look and pull the rear wheel forward. But that's just me.

Rocket it really isn't as long as it appears. The shock which is from a 2004 R1 is right infront of the wheel. If it was any further..... no room for shock. The bike truly rides nice. |

Shock? It don't need no stinking shock.
This is the problem with 99% of every Harley derived chop in existence. Everyone puts something behind the transmission. Be it a battery, oil tank, shock or whatever.
That fat thing would be perfectly proportioned imho if the wheel was behind the transmission and the seat placed over the front section of the rear wheel / tyre like 60's choppers use to, where your backside sat above the saddle tube and down in the 'V' from the top frame tube to rear wheel. Everyone makes that same mistake these days.
Cool anyway.

"Even I as an Englishman recognised this Chop was themed on an old Lincoln."
You've proven nothing other than the fact that you can read the tank lettering.
"I'd like to see that THING hanging from the TREE OF SHAME!"
Sometimes people are scared by things that are different... why the reaction? Is that bike an assault on the integrity of your principles? Are you threatened by it?
For being a meeting place of open-minded, riding-to-feel-free people, there aren't too many members here that can be respectful of anything outside of the cookie-cutter they fell out of...
I guess if that bike shows up in a magazine with someone's endorsement, it will immediately cease to be ugly... |

Actually, the point was / is, if you take away the tank lettering one who knows their Lincolns would recognise that the OCC chopper was themed on a Lincoln.
THE SAME COULD NOT BE SAID OF THE 'FERRARI' THING?
Like I said, it looks to me like it was styled on a Scream mask. Either way it's well f**king ugly. But if it floats your boat then more power to your elbow (or wrist).

The bike that is the original subject of this thread is cool. I wouldn't want it, but as a work of art it's intersting.
