Its kind of like walking through an empty jail, or mental institution, old city building. The things the walls in that building have witnessed are simply awesome. Think about it. I am sure if you stood there in silence inside it woud have that odd feeling about it. Just because it was once so busy and popular, everytime you saw it, the building was packed full of trucks and bikes. The guy I did the photoshoot for that ended up in HotBike mag said the same thing, OCC’s bikes are hacked together and mass produced and the craze of having a custom chopper has faded with the economy. The days of borrowing $75,000+ against your house to buy a chopper are gone. He had an Iron Horse chopper in his shop he was repairing, I took one look at the frame and noticed zip ties holding the clutch cable in place.
