Excellent bike im from longisland ny, I wish before I moved to florida I could have seen this bike in person.this is beyond the best bike I have ever seen.my whole intire life ive always wanted to become a nys firefighter or police officer but after 9/11 it just scared me.I mean look how many brother fire fighters and police officers we lost.they were all at a normall day that day when they showed up they thought they were just going to a normal fire,But they were wrong.I have watched this episode over and over.Excellent bike occ youve still got it sr and jr and mikey and the rest of occ,thank you.

No one really knows how much of this "reality" TV is real. I am of the opinion it is more a product of crafty editing than anything else. I also happen to think the guys at American Choppers crank out some of the funniest TV today. Speaking as someone who grew up in an environment of a family owned business, and who still works in a family owned business, I can certainly understand why they act the way they do. And a side note to Grizzly, the one star review guy. Dude, you're BITTER. Your precious biker lifestyle is being exploited by some folks who want to make a little money. It's the American Way. Get over it.

Speaking on the authority of a REAL Biker who has LIVED the Lifestyle for over 35 of my almost 53 years, during which I have ridden the same '63 Harley Panhead, (which I built and rebuilt from the ground up with my own two hands), longer than the Turtle Kids have been alive, My Brothers and I all find Orange County Chumps to be some of the Funniest Comedy on DVD! Their Ol'Man is one of the greatest comedians to try and call himself a "biker"; seemingly, the only thing that HE works at is running his MOUTH! What little I have been able to watch of this show without developing acute nausea, I have NEVER seen Turtle, Sr. EVER pick up a tool or lend a hand to help anyone at ANYTHING.

Altho I respect the idea behind the Fire Bike, and the bikes built by OCC may have some eye appeal, but are otherwise a waste of parts & labor, as they are totally unridable; you would need an entire parking lot to turn one of them around, and the spider bike in particular, with its ridiculous rear fender, would give you a radical shower if one attempted to ride it on wet pavement, much less in the rain!(And I would LOVE to know what company sells them INSURANCE!)
My Brothers and I have long debated which is more hilarious, the Turtles, with their hour long screaming matches, or the sidewalk commandos who give the mighty OCC free advertising, running around with T-shirts & other gear, none of whom OWN, or probably even KNOW HOW to ride a MOTROCYCLE! Only Hang-arounds and Wannabees worship these comedians; REAL Bikers only LAUGH at them!
As far as other reviewers who are so critical of my well earned opinion are concerned, just read their other reviews (if they have any)!
At least Jesse James RIDES his creations to shows! The Turtles TRAILER Theirs (and then have to FLY IN their mechanics when one of their monstrosities breaks down!)
