charleston was nice and pleasant. didn't rain... 65 and sunny. but i didn't see any rotaries or eights. so i was a little bummed. it would have been awesome to tour the facility too.

Great picture/video sets altspace.

btw Storm: I guess this is a dumb question, but does OCC build two of every TV episode chopper? e.g. how can there be say a Lugz bike in the store, having built it for/given it to Lugz?

Or, does OCC (Senior) bid on/buy most every charity bike?

Yeah alot of the bikes we build are auctioned off for charity we usually buy them back. Tax write off since it's for charity. If we really like the bike and they either keep it for their own use or we get out bid, we will build a duplicate.
The Lugz bike is the property of Lugz, we have an OCC boot with them so they let us keep the bike in the store.

Im good, i didn't even realize Storm worked at OCC. I missed the tour too. Guess we'll have to do it again.

Storm...
Perhaps a Rotary Bike would make a big splash with the Public. Mazda could fund it with their next big RX8 Rollout. It would make a great story, the history of the rotary, the fanatasism of the owners (no offense).

take it ease.

I'd love to do a Mazda bike, but the problem is getting mazda interested in it. It's really expensive

That's why I love NEPOC, which is all Mazdas. Heck our Fall clean meet gathered 25 people. The we have our "little" meets from time to time. Had one 2 nights ago, last night, and one coming up Sat.
