[edit] "Comanche Bike" modelled after the F-22?

To me, it would seem obvious that its inspiration was the RAH-66 Comanche helicopter. Of course this is an U.S. Army equipment, so the Air Force would not pay for its promotion, as the article claims.. Could someone that saw/remembers the episode comfirm the facts? 82.181.150.151 03:51, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

That was a different bike, The Air Force Bike was made early on, the Comanche inspired bike later. Seaphoto 07:57, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Orange County Choppers logo.jpg

Image:Orange County Choppers logo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:57, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Editorial in paragraph 2

There is a statement in the second paragraph of the page that "Many are under the mistaken belief that..." This is editorial, not fact, and while it may be a reasonably true statement, it is out of place in this article. I suggest changing the wording to make a statement of fact that OCC is in Orange County, NY, not Orange County, CA.

I agree it should be changed. This article has alot of NPOV in it... BTW to the user who added this thread please sign your posting...--Vertigo315 (talk) 01:42, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "illegal" claim in first sentence

I would love to see an explanation on the legal base behind the claim that said OCC is an "illegal" custom bike builder. i would like to know which law has OCC infringed and if there is any previous legal enforcing action done against OCC. if there is no such data i feel we must delete this word lok2 (talk) 12:10 January 8 2008 —Preceding comment was added at 04:07, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
