    Northrop Grumman comissioned Orange County Choppers to build a B-2 bike. They unveiled it last week at Whiteman AFB. The Episode will air in January. I would have thought as slow as the B-2 flies it would have had a John Deer tractor motor.

    :eek: That is one FUGLY machine. OCC must be getting Artist's Block. Between the stupid fake-canopy tank and the :puke: front wheel, I don't know what is worse. What a mess.

    I'd have gone with incorporating the stealth geometry lines, and some engine/wheel obscuring paneling. And it would definitely be a bagger, as fits a bomber's inspiration. And powder-coat black. The wheels would be in closed-in fender walls like those Bonneville record-chasers.

    This thing they made is horrible - looks like a lazy parts guy put it together with scrap from the Schwinn and Mattel factories.

    There is a Victory Vision at the HD dealer here and they can't get rid of it. It has become the brunt of jokes by everyone there.

    As for OCC maybe their popularity will die off (sooner than later) and they will fade away. :)

    off the bat...
    I would of:
    -gone with those new forklless front ends.
    -shaft drive (looks 'stealthier' than a chain)
    -maybe a boxer engine over the vitwin

    any one want to add?

    by the way, who pays for these bikes?

    Speaking of our tax dollars and what they should be spent on, wouldn't it be great if every year when we file our taxes it came with a worksheet of choices? The form would include check boxes for every government program not critical to mandatory services. If one program is discovered to be wasting YOUR money then uncheck it and let them go find someone elses money to waste.

    Ken, all the boxes would be unchecked and then we would have to bail out the goverment. :eek: On the other hand they should get their money from the oil that Iraq is selling to pay us back.

    I quit watching their shows a long time ago when they would break doors smash walls and yell at each other. Shows how really immature they really are.

    The best guy they had quit and you could see by the expressions in his face that he was feed up with the bull. Vinnie left Orange County Choppers and founded V-Force Customs, a custom motorcycle shop in Rock Tavern, NY. Several months later Cody Connelly, a friend and co-worker of Vinnies at Orange County Choppers left to join Vinnie at V-force Customs.

    I was wondering what happend to Vinnie. He and the skinnier guy where the good ones. What's the skinny guys name :confused: I can't remember. He as a good old school builder. The rest of them got a little annoying.

    I just went to their web site and it is just full of shirts and apperal and junk to sell. :wtf:
