that was one of the coolest bikes. Look forward to the Cincinnati show and others to come. Keep up the great work men of OCC.

Didn't do much for me. Sorry.

That crane boom/sissy bar was hidious.

The entire bike was hideous. Worst one to date. I think that's the reason why we don't see Paul Jr. working on the bikes as much as he used to. He even knows that OCC jumped the shark a long long time ago...

"Hideous" Offensive to the senses and especially to sight : Exceedingly ugly. Yep, that about sums up that crane bike...

It fit it's purpose well......to lend support and exposure to the company...( I had never heard of them until this build ).....but it was just weird looking....at least to me it was....

the wheels were kinda cool I guess...very "different"....but I guess you could say that about the whole bike.....very different

While I think it's the second ugliest bike they've built, I do agree it fits it's purpose.

So than bikerhart. What is the ugliest? There have been so many.

In my opinion, it's the Army bike. It wasn't an on air build, but it's very square...everything on it and it's olive drab color looks horrid.

Really, what did anyone expect? It's a theme bike for a company that makes cranes ... when was the last time you walked past a construction site and said to yourself, "wow, that is one GOOD looking crane!"?

Well I do everyday. I have been into heavy equipment since I was a kid. Caterpillar, Liebherr, Terex, John Deere, Euclid, Cyrus Erie. The largest earthmoving machines ever built.

Don't get me wrong, I'm quite partial to Manitowoc Crane, I don't live very far from them. I'm just saying, to the "average" person the street, a crane isn't something they will usually take a second glance at or find very appealing to the eye.

Don't get me wrong. I like cranes but that atrocious looking bike reminded me of my little red wagon with a boom (crane) welded on the back. Even the audience seemed underwhelmed when it came time for the big reveal or unveiling. I mean, for goodness sakes, you could have heard a pin drop as the Manitowoc Crane company employees were so aghast and taken aback, struck with horror and shocked at such a pitiful sight. In comparison to other theme bikes, I think they expected more for their money, as did I...
