New OCC Chopper Guy From Michigan

[skullman]

HI all..

I'm from a little town called Bay City,MI. I'v been into drag racing all my life. I used to work at Tri City Dragway in the 70's .. Met some of the big names.. I'm a electrician. I ride a Harley .. But i have grandkids now as i'm 58 years old now. So to get my grandkids into what i like .. Bikes.. MOTOR bikes. I built a 49cc Schwinn OCC Chopper bike for me to ride untill they want to ride it. I like anything with a motor on it. Well that's enough about me. so here i am ..

Dennis..

Thank you fellow Bike Builders.. I'm going to buy another one Sat. and work on building another 80cc motor bike chopper. I have a 92 harley sportster that i ride. I did some work on that to make it look the way i wanted it. Then i bought a 110cc OCC web mini chopper that i'm working on.. I turned the foot shifter into a hand shifter. so i have my occ pedal bike done. so i'm going to start another one. And again thanks for welcoming me to the site..

Welcome to THE Forum skullman! I have three OCC MB.s A weakness I have. My wallet is too small for Harleys anymore. But my heart is still there. A 94 Goldwing is my street Hiway bike. I like all the buttons!

My father was an electrician at a steel mill...does that count?

As for me... electricity scares me, lol.

 

[skullman]

That counts..

And i just bought another OCC bike. The black ver. I'm going to collect all the colors.. and put motors on them.. I rode mine yesterday to go look at the new bike i just bought. It was great seeing all these people waveing at me. The only one i see in town. But there will be more.

Interested in seeing pics of your builds Skullman.

I remember sticking a table knife in a wall socket 50+ years ago; so while I'm not an electrician, I have expermented with electricity. What a small world it is indeed.
