We personally know one guy who has one of their bikes.
It handles so “squirrelly” that he crashed going down his lane at low speed.

Anecdotally, we have spoken to a lot of people who either own or have ridden them and they all say the same thing; handles *awful*.
[we have a bike building biz, ourselves so we talk to a lot of bikers from all over the country]

Hubby keeps threatening to call and reveal the secrets of “perfect rake and trail” to them....:))

People who buy their silly stuff are into looks, not riding. They make show pieces, not motorcycles.

I remember Peter Fonda’s comment about ‘the bike’ in Easy Rider.

“Looked great, was a bitch to ride”.

OCC builds bikes designed to win Cavalcade of Custom trophy’s, not to ride coast to coast...or as you say, slowly down a quiet lane.
