I've never really been into bikes, but once I started watching Discovery and American Chopper, I was blown away. When I heard OCC was going to be in New Orleans in May for the Louisiana Bike Expo, I knew I had to check them out.

First I went to a bar/restaurant called The Dock, where the OCC folks were making an appearance. Shaking their hands and getting to talk to them was definitely a cool experience. They seemed down-to-earth. At the bike expo, they looked a little preoccupied with the number of people coming through getting autographs, but they were still happy to sign whatever you gave them.

But the best part of the show was when they rode into the Superdome on the Black Widow and the Firebike. Paulie Sr. was on the Black Widow, and Paulie Jr. was on the Firebike. Those two bikes are just amazing. Maybe one day I will be able to own my own OCC bike. OCC has definitely inspired me to get into bikes, and hopefully I'll have my first one within a year.
