Hi Clarky,

Impressive quality in the Aussie build bikes. What make of engines they use for build his machines? Aussies or Japanese’s?

It was a good opportunity for get very colorful images. Very opportune shoots Clarky! Sharp and with a good photographic eye!

Thanks for share.


Best regards.

I particularly like the croc chopper!
I watch OCC occasionally on Discovery when there is nothing else on. It always amazes me how they manage to produce such amazing machines in between all the cussing and fighting

I actually prefer the cussing and fighting over the bike building

I just love to watch the show - almost every week (if possible). Some lovely machines - and very nice pictures.

Was senior and junior present at the show?

It was packed and getting close to the guys was near impossible and i wasn't about to go pushing through a couple of thousand bikers to get a pic
No fights surprisingly considering the number of biker clubs that were there. It was great day and they built a bike on stage and raffled it off

They are all Harley-Davidson 1340cc Evolution engines but probably bored out to 1500cc
