@gbsons Yes it was in Pulaski County, Kentucky, at the Area Technology Center in Somerset.

@wheelieguy sweet, i thought so. I hated that freaking white windstar in the background. That chopper was freaking loud though!!!

@wheelieguy The guy probably doesn't even know who orange county choppers is.

what song is this?

[wheelieguy]

@20stevieray The song in the beginning is "Fox on the Run" by Sweet from the Dazed and Confused Soundtrack and the one playing during the credits is "Sundown" by Gordon Lightfoot from the Gord's Gold Greatest Hits Album. Thanks for viewing.

i dont think it looks like the f-22. its more of a tribute to the usaf. pinball has one good comment which is the street bike reference. that wud hav gav them alittle more to work with. like the folding in and out fairings like the missile bays, and the navi lights. damn i shud design one O.o

[wheelieguy]

@STtheboy If you look at the gas tank at :36, it is modeled after the fuselage on the F-22. All the rivets on the bike are meticulously hand painted and have texture. I could see your point that it is more of a USAF tribute bike, but it's styling was based on the F-22 Raptor. Paul Jr. and Sr. Teutul probably thought having the wings, even if they swept back was probably aesthetically not feasible.

@wheelieguy again the gas tank is pretty musch all they have to work with. dont get me wrong it looks good, but if your gonna give a tribute to a machine that is a technological wonder of the world i think showing off much more than just the fusalage, and a fender that semi looks like the turbine nozzles on the fender. ALOT more could have been done with this design. but dont get me wrong OCC does amazing work such as th commanche.

32 600 for this piece of junk????????????? ===>>> ok >>> again u idiot >> hahahaha > this bike is a piece of shit > try a duel with suzuki 600 bandit or hayabusa from Kawasaki........>>> no chance for this american junk.....hahahahaha

[wheelieguy]

Okay, you have already proven that you are an idiot by your first comment, but to set you straight, again, here are the facts:

1. This isn't a racing bike

2. To equal its OVERALL NET VALUE, it would take 32 Suzuki 600's. What this means is that you would have to sell 32 600's to buy this one bike. Not that its riding or racing value is more, its OVERALL net value is more because it is considered art, a showpiece, or a one-of-a-kind item.

3. You're a moron because you don't know the difference.

@PINBALL777 The bike is worth $150,000. The motor on it is so big and powerful, a japanese bike couldn't even support its weight.

[wheelieguy]

@PINBALL777 it would take 32 Suzuki 600's to equal the net worth of this bike. It is not a racing bike, nor is it a production bike like the Kawasaki. It was never built to race, nor was it built to ride on the highway for any length of time, nor to ride for pleasure,as the guy even said the bike has never been ridden more than just a few blocks. It was built as a showpiece for the U.S. Air Force as a recruiting tool. Nothing more, nothing less. IT IS A SHOWBIKE, NOT AN EVERYDAY RIDER!
