How Ferrari didn't step in to prevent the Ferrari bike from being made is one of life's greatest mysteries

[loveisthelaw]

Can u imagine working at that place where the owner comes in and tells you that you’ll be working on the “Tampax Tampons” bike one week and then the Gerber “Baby Food Bike” the next.

The biggest running joke was letting mikey think he was an artist when his art looked like a blind child had done it 😂

$100, 000 for a bike with a stock Evo, no suspension, and no gauges. ALL of their bikes were crap.

[gnashsang]

These bikes should never be allowed on public roadways. They have so many pointed pieces of metal that I can imagine you’d ever survive a wreak without getting empaled in multiple locations

It went from a chopper show to a soap opera. The 56 chevy bike and the gto bike they did was horrible.

[FunnyHaHa]

The Ferrari chopper was from the 'Paulie Jr. left to do his own thing... which was lots of coke and designing BBQ grills! *Allegedly

I remember putting a bicycle together one xmas eve for my 5 year old niece with my dad and we were both drunk. It was like an episode of OCC with the two of us shouting at each other.

The worst American Chopper Motorcycles?....All of them.

[tylerdurden]

I hated this show. The bikes were corporate billboards…everything a Chopper isn’t. the family squabbling was disgusting. Glad these dudes and their show is history.

[chadriggs]

Lots of stories online about how bad those bikes are. I remember one episode (Wendy’s theme bike, maybe?) where they built a battery box to the exact dimensions of the battery, not taking into account the change in thickness due to paint/powdercoat. When the problem became apparent, they didn’t build another battery box. They beat the battery into the existing box with a rubber mallet. Good luck getting it out when it’s time to replace. It was at that point I realized I was watching a giant joke.

I never really understood the whole thing about making motorcycles that were supposed to look like things that weren’t motorcycles.

If it is from OCC it's probably junk

[stevezelev]

OCC bikes are all loathsome. I lived in NJ at the time and went to their shop. I was amazed at how poorly the finish was up close. Welding blebs were painted over-WTF? I would imagine you could ride them about 5-10 miles before saying "Uncle". Pissing blood from kidney injury doesn't sound too sexy. If you bought one for $85, 000 and it's now worth $ 9, 000, well that's quite a nice return on investment-LOL. Good-bye OCC and good riddance.

[mongoardath]

I watched and enjoyed this show before I got my first bike. Now that I have some riding under my belt, I can definitely see why riders have a low opinion of these choppers. As works of art (or corporate billboards), they are arguably fine. As functioning vehicles, give me a pit bike or a scooter instead.

Piles of junk. I had a 9 feet long 1967 Triumph chopper in the 90s. Rode it back from where I bought it, and promptly sold it again.

[thededicatedbiker]

I think that after the Discovery series made them so popular it became a case of "The Emperor's New Clothes". Usually the company or organization that commissioned the bike saw the bike for the first time when it was revealed at a big public event with news media present. They couldn't admit on camera that they hated the bike. They are thinking, "This is horrible" but saying aloud on camera, "This Bike is better than we expected!".

[mrabrasive]

Ya know, nomally a build like this takes 6-8 weeks..but we have to get it finished in 25 minutes!!😂😂

[vaughnmcmillan]

You're right on all of them! They were fugly, but what really made them unrideable was their 'fool frames'! Otherwise known as rigid frames, or kidney killers. Instead of hiding a monoshock softail system with a swingarm in it, noooo, make the marks pay $70 large for a fool's frame!
Did you really pay $10 large to beat up your bike!?

[scoutandscooter]

Years ago I stopped at their newly built showroom on I-87. I thought "wow, these guys are way over extended". Now I think it's some indoor go-cart track and arcade. They had their 15 minutes (maybe fifteen years), but it was over fifteen years ago. There is a reason why Honda has sold 100 million Cubs.
