They're nice bikes, but not for the price they're asking.
Which shop?

Really? I haven't been to Freedom in a little while. I will need to stop by sometime to take a look. I want to get out on a Warrior this year so I need to find out when the Yamaha ride is.

The Cody bike is the best bike they made



For the rest of them? WTF, I mean, seriously a fucking crane? Do you expect to move industrial equipment with it? Or for that matter why a hospital bed bike?

I don't think the cody bike is the best. It looks nice. Nice pan head motor. But beyond tt. Um... Its nothing spectacular.

Honestly its the bikes tt made them famous like the 9-11 fire bike, helicoper bike, etc. The non corperate sponsor non-cnc machined bikes tt were their best bikes.

All that cnc takes away from the bike imo. Their new style of designs is absolute garbage.

I worked at Sikorsky on the Comanche helicopter program when OCC made the Comanche bike so it was pretty sweet to see that bike being made.

It had a lot more rake than I prefer but still a bad ass bike.

And let me tell you, this was the most bad ass helicopter ever built. Not in terms of fire power since it's main mission was reconnaissance, but it's flight capabilities were insane. I designed the turret system for it(20mm guns) and the helmet mounted aiming system.

That's insane. Any chance you did work on our sea kings or cyclones?

No, I left Sikorsky when the government ended the program.
