Yay, another web bike, and he's back to using over the counter parts. The Geico bike isn't bad, the rear fender is different.

Jr wants to talk about how the internet bike looked like other bikes OCC did, and what does he do for one of his first bikes? Go web, like it wasn't done like 3 times before.

Sorry guys. Jr and Vinny just can't do the custom fab work like OCC with Rick can. Because of Rick, I can see Sr winning this, as far as true, one off customs go.

good looking bikes. the web bike looks different overall than a lot of the bikes occ has been doing.
i always wonder about these companies that are having bikes built every week on the show. is it just for advertising on that particular episode? i mean what other use do these companies have for a bike?
as far as occ building better bikes, sorry but with all that high tech equipment they've acquired in the past 3 years, the bikes have gotten to looking all alike. the memorable bikes are from years ago. Fire bike, Stealth bike, Jet bike, Statue of Liberty bike.

Jr. will try to make a few bikes with a wore out oxy/acetylene torch kit and some rusty chinese tools, then go back to building plastic BBQ's. IMO
Vinny is the man though!! he might make it happen???

Opinions, you gotta love them, lol.

Jr vs Sr

Edward vs Jacob

I can't think of another vs right now...lol...


I was thinking the exact opposite, save for the early theme bikes. Both Jr's and Sr's bikes have all gotten to start to blend in together. The Geico bike and Sr's internet bike from the show are the most different either on has done in a long time. Jr doing something that is a bit prostreet and Sr/Rick doing that two piece tank, with those low hung bars, both were nicely done.

In the end, this is why I think it's all ratings. Like mentioned, the ratings dropped changing channels, and after the big fight. Now they are back together, even if in different shops. And while Sr might be a bit arrogant, he was right, Jr has failed up till now. So Jr is back to building bikes, against his father, which isn't much different then when the show started, lol.


BTW, again, IMHO, ALL custom choppers look the same. From Big Dog to Iron Horse to OCC to WCC, they all have the same basic layout and design. There are a few that stand out, but for the most part, blah.

Exile is another name that would be on my short list of to buy, if I was to buy a custom

Oooh... is the yellow one called "YASB"? (Yet another Spider Bike)

Come on... both of them are acting like jerks to each other.

The only one of them with any brains is Mikey, and he's not perfect either.

Vinnie and Rick are the smartest ones in the show, and they seem to be the most talented as well.

Thats the bike I like the most.

Dunno it names but make me think of a wasp bike for some reason in the rear and they hunt spiders to lay their eggs on. Why I usually leave them alone if they are friendly, don't bother me.

Which they are more and more docile around here, Have had them start a nest right in the open sliding glass door frame near eye lvl and never noticed it as they didn't freak out ever time the door was opened or shut, or if you walked by.

OMG!! Thanks for posting! Wow those bikes look so much better than the crap OCC has been putting out lately. The web bike looks really cool.
