Talk:Orange County Choppers

OLP
OCC has liscensed it's name to guitar manufacturer OLP Guitars, I'm going to add a bit of info once I get it. Gopherbassist 20:33, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

"Comanche Bike" modelled after the F-22?
To me, it would seem obvious that its inspiration was the RAH-66 Comanche helicopter. Of course this is an U.S. Army equipment, so the Air Force would not pay for its promotion, as the article claims.. Could someone that saw/remembers the episode comfirm the facts? 82.181.150.151 03:51, 24 November 2006 (UTC)


 * That was a different bike, The Air Force Bike was made early on, the Comanche inspired bike later. Seaphoto 07:57, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Editorial in paragraph 2
There is a statement in the second paragraph of the page that "Many are under the mistaken belief that..." This is editorial, not fact, and while it may be a reasonably true statement, it is out of place in this article. I suggest changing the wording to make a statement of fact that OCC is in Orange County, NY, not Orange County, CA.

I agree it should be changed. This article has alot of NPOV in it... BTW to the user who added this thread please sign your posting...--Vertigo315 (talk) 01:42, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

"illegal" claim in first sentence
I would love to see an explanation on the legal base behind the claim that said OCC is an "illegal" custom bike builder. i would like to know which law has OCC infringed and if there is any previous legal enforcing action done against OCC. if there is no such data i feel we must delete this word lok2 (talk) 12:10 January 8 2008 —Preceding comment was added at 04:07, 11 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Some of the bikes produced are illegal to drive since they do not conform to rules of security, they mostly are show pieces, some of them are outright undriveable. You shouldn't have removed that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.155.100.130 (talk) 19:01, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

It should certainly not be stated without reference. If it is a referenced source then it could be stated but not without reference. --Vertigo315 (talk) 20:03, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

It seems Paulie and the Guys are running thin on new themes for their bikes ... suggestion: Build three wheeled bikes with a hitch / trailor Sponsor ? U- haul

Paul Jr.
While Paul Jr. was fired in the season premiere episode, the OCC website still refers to him, especially in upcoming events, therefore it would be premature to remove him as an employee, especially since the show is taped months in advance. Furthermore, upcoming promotions for the series on TLC remain somewhat ambiguous to say that the events that were taped in the season premiere were relevant, especially with the history of feuds between Sr. and Jr. --68.52.147.138 (talk) 12:31, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Since Paul, Jr has now (April 2010) started his own competing motorcycle business, he really can't be considered part of OCC any more. However, I'd suggest that we don't remove him until the 7th series airs and shows this, since I'm certain we'll get into an edit war over it otherwise. Rogerborg (talk) 16:02, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

Going to delete a lot of this article...
Much of what is in this article is fancruft and PR advertising. Anything that lacks a reliable source to back it up, and lacks sufficient notability really needs to go. That applies to most of these commercial custom bike pages, especially the ones connected to reality TV. Have to start somewhere.--Dbratland (talk) 17:53, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Removed ad tag
I removed the "Ad/Fancruft" tag from this article. Although it could use more inline citations, it seems fairly neutral (I'm assuming it has been improved since the tag was added). If someone wants to re-add the tag, please give reasons when you do. 61.68.126.160 (talk) 02:25, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

... "sinep" principals ?
"Teutul Sr. designed many bikes using the "sinep" concepts; even going as far as over-riding many of Paul Jr's initial design elements."

Can anybody clarify what this means? Pjbflynn (talk) 19:28, 13 August 2010 (UTC)

- it is "penis" spelled backwards. ---
