I've been monitoring the OCC Facebook "Recommendations" page since the conclusion of the buildoff; and all but a few comments are like this:

 Art has no price, it's worth whatever the beholder thinks it's worth.

Yeah, you could really tell he's about to implode from his behavior on the last couple of episodes. Beyond the classic Pohl jackass we've come to expect and abhor. The phrase "jumped the shark" comes to mind.

 I agree with the person who said Jason; "...has killed the 'soul' of OCC..." (want to bet there's a horse head on the tombstone?)

Last I checked, Sr and Jason are the ones that come up with the designs, Jason just draws what he is told and might add some stuff to it, but sr will never allow another employee to go around saying they are his designs.

OCC is a business, not a one off theme bike builder for bikes that never get ridden. I am sure customers getting drawings of what they are paying for is a big selling point, didnt OCC build a bike when the customer went to PJD first but PJD couldnt give them any concepts to the point of that customer not thinking PJD would have served their purpose?

 So Sr designed the Horse and Antler bike? A cafe and selling t-shirts is OCC's business, how many OCC productions bikes you seen on the road? What's the point of getting a drawing when things need to be changed because what Jason draws in 2D cant be done in 3D?

My emoticons are still there, maybe you're having a Java problem (I'm having difficulties getting videos to embed)...

It would be cool to know which if any current OCC production bikes offered Jr. had a hand in designing. Although I imagine OCC will build anything they have in the CAD files. Their website is rather confusing when it comes to production bike sales. They talk all this hoopla about all the effort in production bikes but the only model details available are for the softtail. It's also the only bike listed in current inventory at $38,900. Its listed as  a 2010 origanal so am I to assume its been gathering dust for three years? Understandably most of their sales are probally negotiated via special order before work is begun. Posters from the Discovery boards used to mention visiting the shop and commented they saw bikes being built but you have to wonder how many the really sell in this economy. Seemed liked a few years ago every boomer doctor, lawyer, and insert your favorite profession wanted to live out their Harley Biker Fantasy before the golden years set in and were willing to spend crazy money to realize that dream. I belive those days are behind us now. hmm
