Las Vegas, Nevada - One thing you you’re sure to find at every SHOT Show is something new. A new trigger, new barrel, or new gun to set the shooting world on fire. Or, in the case of the National Rifle Association, a new bike.

Designed by the world class production crew over at Orange County Choppers, the NRA debuted an OCC-styled Pro Street bike with bullet-like appearance adorned in a matte gunmetal and black paint job on SHOT Show 2015’s opening day . Donated by Century Arms, the bike is adorned with the NRA seal, Century Arms emblem, and features design elements from the AK-style rifles Century Arms is known for.

Yup! Vroom, vrooom!!!!

[Duckdog]

I’m not much in motorcycles, but it is a nice looking bike.

[Fresh Wind]

That will really p*** off the liberals!

[IronJack]

Are any of those OCC bikes actually rideable? With all the junk they hang on them, it just seems to me that they’d rattle apart the first 100 miles.

Oooooo. LIKE!

[rktman]

The incorporation of the .50’s in the spokes is a nice touch and no doubt able to send someone’s panties into a wad. “OMG! They’re the size of ketchup bottles. How do we know they won’t go off?”

[Darksheare]

They aren’t that far up the highway from me.
About 28 minutes or so.

Good to see the NRA is buying bicycles to show to gun enthusiasts. I’ll be sure to up my annual contribution.

meh - a corporate cycle company, turning our corporate product that will never be ridden.....yeah, makes sense (sarc)

they all look alike imo

Meh.. This is much better:

Depends on the build. I used to do some of the design work and manufacturing process for Midwest Motorcycle Supply’s custom chassis. This looks a lot like the 34-40 soft tail frame we sold. It made a fairly comfortable good handling bike but had less rear suspension travel than stock. Some customs are nearly unrideable.

Not enough guns on the bars. At least place a shotgun holder at the back. And I don’t see an AR15 soldered on the engine block. Man, if I owned one of these puppies I;ll make sure drivers know I’m a gun nut.

[IronJack]

I think most of the components are probably solid, but then the OCC crew bolts and tacks on a bunch of ridiculous doo-dads and calls it “custom.”. It’s the add-ons I’d worry about.

A completely uninspired bike about 10 years out of style.

I've often wondered that too.......Now here's a bike that really impresses me with the work that went into it. Nothing fancy, just a beautiful classic looking bike.

Transformed 1974 Norton Commando

[Hot Tabasco]

That is a beautiful looking bike but I’d sure hate to have to clean all that chrome..........

[moovova]

Never mentioned Paul Sr in the article...just the designer.

[minnesota_bound]

The guy on the left side is the only one with a full head of hair.... I think that is the guy who does the designs at OC Choppers.
