Walking through the mall and came accross the OCC bikes and stalls this morning, so took a few photos...

Well it doesn't look like they're pulling out anytime soon.

Btw, the lads aren't there. Otherwise I'd have kicked the sh*t out of Big Paulie.

Probably bikes they built on the TV show. I remember the green Jets one they built for the NY Jets team.

They're more works of art then anything. Jesus, imagine dropping one out on a spin. Will drop in on Monday....hopefully they're not gone or stolen by then :rolleyes:

Cheers for the pics Mairt.

I snapped off a few close up's...








But the finish on the bikes was a little bit of a let down. But I guess these things are touring all the time, taking the knocks which goes with that too.

But I was a little disappointed, I'd had hoped for better tbh.

What was wrong with the finish?

How long is this on for?

Re. the finish. I'm just probably being a bit unfair - nice bikes, but for some reason I'd expected more. But go and see them, I was probably in a minority of one considering the gasps from viewer's.

I've no idea how long they're staying, sorry.

But seriously, for such a popular TV show and considering its 'in town' you'd be mad to miss 'em.

Sadly the boy's aren't there too.

Something seem'd a bit wobbly and out of sorts with the bikes...

Saw this show over in Birmingham awhile back. Have to say I think their bikes are hideous. The over the top garnish is one thing, but most of the bikes seemed to me to be just not right shape wise. I saw a guy driving around town on a chopper type bike recently and his handlebars were too upright for the rake on the bike which made the whole bike look awkward and wrong, OCC bikes give me the same impression.Milwaukee iron, now they made bikes that just look right, pity the main builder died.

The show is funny, but I've never liked the bikes either. I'd be curious to see them. I probably won't get a chance to go look this weekend tho.

They'll be around for a while, maybe not in Dublin, but if I understood it correctly, those bike belongs, or are on lease, to some marketing crowd over in the UK, who's the owner of merchandise right for OCC.
They were in Jervish centre in the early spring, then down in Cork, they've been to Killarney in June, now in Dub again...

Yea, haven't seen the show, yet, but in general, everything looks better on the telly. Paintwork and overall finish was nice, but just OK. If you know what I mean

Much more appealing to fanboys than actual riders I'd say, personally prefer a bike I can drive.

What are ya talkin' about?! Sure I ride one of them red ones with the pointy exhausts to work everyday! I have a top box and panniers on mine though.

These bikes are everything that is wrong about motorcycling, hideous looking hideously expensive garage ornaments for the hideously rich and clueless.

BostonB

Its just harmless fun. But I thought this looked better than OCC's.
