Orange County Choppers in Daytona Love 'em or hate 'em you'll probably admit you know who they are. I have to admit it's not my kind of bike, but seeing these in person was very cool. To me the Snap On bike was very impressive because if the way they used all kinds of tools as parts of the bike. It's hard to see from the pictures but the POW bike with the barbed wire and names from the wall was cool too. You could keep the Jet's bike, it's about as impressive at the Jets themselves. IMHO.

Dave, I really enjoyed that! My Step son and I watch the show and you know which person I am and who he is! I hope I am not that bad! He (Randall) is supposed to be coming to Maxton Sunday and ride my bike and get his license and then see just how fast he really is??
Seriously neat pictures, but one question is that fender on the POW Bike "1" Piece?? or is there a section at the frame tube. The Snap On tools bike is cool! I saw all of the box end wrenches and Combo wrenches! and the upen end for the bar mounts!

The fender looked like one piece, I'm not sure how they get that wheel in there, probably have to do it with the tire flat.
The more you look at the Snap On bike the more tools you see in it, that's why I took a picture of the mirror, the sockects for grips, the wheels are cool, too much to mention. I was waiting on a certain someone to see it, you know someone who loves Snap On with a passion and hates cruisers just as much. It's got to be emotionally perplexing. ____________ DaytonaSportbikes Forum

Is that like you see your Caddy going off of a cliff and then spot your mother n law behind the wheel?? I like the show because it makes me feel better about how I raised Randall. Even he agrees I did not go the the level that Paul Senior goes to, plus I do most of the building and Randall helps where in this case, the Son does "ALL" of the work and the Old man only picks things to be unhappy about and then goes home early!
Seeing this, I really wished I had been there, but your Camera did a great job! I personally appreciate it and Randall will be over tonight and I will show him!

love the snapon bike. very creative. but as a general rule i dont like choppers. the stance jsut looks stupid to me. i do love a custom with a more conservative rake & lower bars tho.

Dave, Randall appreciated the pictures and of course the Snap on bike! Iven the Belt drive is sockets! Choppers are not what I would ride, but as a work of creative art, he is really up there!
