2. Choppers made famous by OCC , and Trikes. The important thing is that they gather for a fun time to
enjoy other bikes and share the friendship of the biking world.
The american Choppers reality television show in 2002 highlighted Paul Sr and Paul Jr within the
OCC Shop (orange County Chopper ny ) customizing bikes, a company that began within the late
1990s as an extension of paul Sr.'s metal business. In 1999 he actually created Orange County
choppers. The company's first bike , "True Blue", was debuted at the 1999 Daytona Biketoberfest.
Our first trip to Sturgis was back 2003. My husband and his awesome friend drove an RV and
trailered the bikes. Me personally and our friends wife flew in to Denver rented a pretty blue
convertible and fashioned ourselves Thelma and Louise. The program was to drive through areas of
Wyoming into the dark Hills to our quick City destination Katmandu Campground. My research done
and mapquest printed I had computed 6 hours from colorado. What I didn’t take into account was that
by means of winding Black mountain roads your time is much , much slower. As that wasn’t negative
enough my friend ms Drama Queen kept reminding me we were in a National woodland doing about
30mph through twists and turns , up and down blackhills in the middle of the night with two single
motorbike gang members ahead of our vehicle in which at any switch could slow our rented
convertible straight down , attack, rob and rape us. RIght after about 45 moments of this, my mind
began playing games and I became genuinely concerned. The lady reminded me never to slow down
for anything at all and I vowed i would run them more than if any suspect arose. Some motorcyclists
look scary , they could also be dangerous, you never know.
We made it to the campground without trouble and without occurrence but a bit shaken. After this
harrowing knowledge all I want can be a glass of wine. The next thing my partner and i find is my
hubby has shaved his / her head completely hairless and is now sporting two earrings. Perhaps I
should have stayed home.
I got used to that real quick , not going to spend my vacation ticked off , in addition its not like this
individual could have grown that overnight anyways.
From then upon I'm glad in order to report everything proceeded to go pretty smooth.
