OCC's Legacy

I saw this bike for sale on Craigslist earlier today, here is the listing. flint.craigslist.org/mcy/1205629385.html

Is it just me or does it seem like all of a sudden there are a rash of these type of bikes appearing for sale? It seems like every 20 something kid with a $10.00 angle grinder from Harbor Freight, a can of Krylon and an inflated ego thinks they are some big time chopper builder. $12,900.00 for this turd give me a break. I have a bunch of bikes, some of which are pretty nice but I think I'd be hard pressed to get $12,900.00 for all of them. What an egotistical little schmuck this guy is.

Actually amigo.........it looks a lot better than some of our own reverend members bikes.:laugh: Least he's trying to make a buck. Now thats Americsn !

I don't see the value at 1.29K let alone 12.9K, or am I missing something. The engine is worth about $400 max and the chopped up frame a couple of hundred at best. What other value is there???????? :dry:

I sent him a bit of a reality check response. Honestly, that bike might have been worth $1200 if he had left it the way it was. As is, maybe $200.

I saw that bike on craigslist too and thought it looked like arse. Some of the prices people ask for garbage on cl is unreal.

This gets better all the time, I googled Crazy Jack industries and found this pic on their myspace page. The "master builder" is the bald one in front on the left. They look about like I thought they would, a bunch of OCC wannabees.

Oh but Otto you must have missed the fact that the motorcycle has been autographed to show authenticity, that must be where the additional value is.:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: What a bunch of wankers turns out the main business for Crazy Jacks is a quickie lube.

Boy what a bunch of losers. What's up with the handlebars?
I didn't paint these bikes but I did all the fab work. I don't call myself a bike builder but I try.

They have a long way to go to even be "Wannabees" Besides, when I watched the few episodes of OCC, and saw what kind of Hacks they are, I stopped watching. They farm out all the hard and complicated work and than just put the pieces together. And they do a "Hack job" even at that.. When it comes to the "handlebars" on this "PIG", They must have run out of money so they went to the local scrap metal yard and took them off of an old "Schwinn" Racing bike (Which I bet that in the right hands could have romped on this "Thing") as you have noticed, I have stripped the picture from this Quote. They don't deserve the exposure.

He says the rims are Crazy Jack Industries. They look an awful lot like painted Kawasaki rims to me. How can they misrepresent that without it being flat out fraud?

Has anyone noticed or realized that OCC came out ashort time after "Jessey James" had his show? Now there is a "Master Builder" The Tuttles can go back to their Rod Iron Railing business. There are enough shows on TV about "Disfunctional Families".

The email I sent mr custom:

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAAHAAAAAHAAHAA!!!!!!!!!
That poor KZ400 might have been worth $1200 if you had left it alone and it was in nice original condition. As it stands its worth about $200. Thats with two zeros. Not four.

"Jason lives by making statements in his work, as you can see, this bike makes one Hell of a statement"

Yeah, it makes the statement that you're related to the twelve year old kid who just got an angle grinder for his birthday, cut a half decent bike to death, took a dump on it, wrapped it in used toilet paper and put a $1,000,000 for sale sign on it. Maybe you guys are brothers?

"autographed to show authenticity"

Authenticity? No one WANTS your authenticity never mind paying $12,700 more than a bike is worth just to get it.

You've been watching to much OCC, stop sniffing the carb cleaner and go get a reality check.
