00:00Coming up on this episode of Orange County Choppers Original.
00:04Leo's got some family members who have autism,
00:06and autism really affects so many of us.
00:08The chopper tells the story, really.
00:10I was thinking about a sensory bike.
00:12This is the first time that we're using an M8 Harley motor in it.
00:15Bend the round ball all the way around the back of the fender,
00:18and then attach the metal.
00:20And that's a bullseye right there!
00:24I ran into some difficulties because I've never really been in this spot.
00:28You know, we didn't start the bike.
00:30Yeah!
00:54Ha ha ha!
00:57Yeah, we'll be right back.
01:02So we just finished the Gray Bull Chopper, and now, true to OCC fashion, we are on to
01:07the next chopper.
01:08And we're going to go pick up Christian and Jim, and we're going to head down to our buddy
01:12Leo's.
01:13We're going to talk to him about what does autism acceptance look like, and how can we
01:18create an incredible chopper that actually brings awareness and acceptance.
01:35Hello guys, and welcome to Farm I Call of Abilities, where we don't recognize disabilities.
01:42The only disability that we really have is not understanding the abilities that these
01:45children have.
01:47We're trying to set up a program where we can bring children in that are artistic and teach
01:51them different levels of responsibilities and ways to move about through their lives,
01:56through equestrian therapy, and also riding four-wheelers.
02:02Every child that is autistic has a level.
02:06I've seen children that come in with a level three that are non-verbal.
02:10They walked out with showing excitement that the horses, they actually can participate and
02:18talk about what their experience was.
02:20When they came, couldn't say a word, had no interest in people, and they leave.
02:26They just show this brightness, this happiness that they have, and it's just, it's the most
02:31rewarding thing to understand that I'm the one with the disability and not them.
02:38How are we doing?
02:40How are we doing?
02:40Beautiful day for riding.
02:41How are you?
02:42Nice to meet you.
02:42How are you?
02:43Good.
02:43Hi, I'm Jody.
02:45How are you boys?
02:46To move forward and to continue this program, I want to expand it more than just autism awareness.
02:52I want to make it autism awareness and acceptance.
02:55And I think taking a look at all this, it gives you a lot of insight into what the chopper
02:59would
02:59mean.
03:00You know what I mean?
03:00And I think that...
03:01Yeah, I think that's the most important part.
03:03The chopper tells the story, really, is what we always say.
03:06Yeah.
03:06We want to work with sensory, so we're kind of thinking about a sensory bite.
03:09How did you start?
03:10Like...
03:10I grew up doing a lot of summer programs and working with kids, and I really loved it.
03:19I had my oldest kiddo, really young, and she's autistic, and then she's nine now.
03:28When your kid's diagnosed autistic, you just get handed this world of pamphlets that don't
03:34make sense.
03:36And you're just basically sent to deal with it on your own.
03:39And that's where it all gets confused.
03:42Just because you're autistic, your brain works differently.
03:44You don't...
03:45You get angry.
03:46You get overwhelmed.
03:47And people don't...
03:47I never get angry.
03:49People don't understand that, like, just because you get angry or frustrated, it's just how
03:53their brain works.
03:54They don't know how to...
03:55Everything's black and white for them.
03:57And the biggest thing for me, and I can say, you're part of that bike.
04:01The confidence, the levels, and they're friends.
04:04The kids around will be, like, amazed.
04:07Now they're the coolest kids on the block.
04:09I don't care, you know?
04:10I mean, that's what my goal is with this bike.
04:12And I like to take it around with my granddaughter and show the people how amazing these children
04:19are and how amazing this bike is going to help represent it.
04:22I want to make sure that I bring, you know, acceptance to autism.
04:27That's a great statement and it's a great mission.
04:30And I believe that Leo and his family are certainly going to do that because they are pretty tenacious.
04:40How much are these wheels, seriously?
04:42Right?
04:43Look at how the, like, the contrast cut almost looks like diamonds.
04:48So it almost reminds me of him?
04:50The old Trans Am.
04:52Yes.
04:53Yes.
04:53Yeah, yeah, the wheels, right?
04:55Yeah.
04:56Yeah, S&T does a really nice job other than for incentive to do.
04:59Anthony should be here any minute.
05:01Yeah, I think he said he's on his way over.
05:03I was thinking we all think really hard.
05:05Yeah.
05:05He may just knock on the door.
05:07Oh!
05:09Hey, who's there?
05:10Yeah.
05:11Oh.
05:12There it is.
05:13Hey, Anthony.
05:15Hey, Anthony.
05:16Hey, Anthony.
05:17There we go.
05:18Perfect.
05:18That's nice.
05:20Yeah.
05:21You said this part's stretched back here?
05:23Yeah, we stretched it back here about three and a half inches because the touring transmission
05:27is so long with the oil tank built in that if you would have kept it in the stock location,
05:31the back of the tire would have hit the back of the oil pan.
05:34So we stretched it.
05:35You can't really tell, but yeah.
05:36No, you really can tell.
05:37Yeah.
05:37Good job, man.
05:38There you go, man.
05:39Very clean.
05:39Thanks, bro.
05:40You got it.
05:41Appreciate you.
05:43Get my next frames on.
05:44All right.
05:45I'm working on that.
05:45And I got another one coming after that.
05:47Okay.
05:47Yeah.
05:52Good rotation.
05:53Is that what you want going on?
05:54You want to put the front end?
05:55Me and Mikey can put the front end together or something?
05:57I don't do front ends.
05:58Get over here, man.
05:59I only do rear.
06:16Are you using the Harley-Davidson primary?
06:21I'm doing a close primary, but it's Harley-Davidson.
06:23So it's a stock M8, like?
06:25Right, yeah.
06:26If you put the transmission in there the way it is, you try it.
06:29We should just make it.
06:29Yeah, let's take a look at it.
06:30I got the hardware.
06:32Get that fender under here.
06:36I'm assuming it's an Harley.
06:37The smaller one on this side?
06:38Let's see.
06:39It says right side.
06:40It's probably this side.
06:41I'm just guessing.
06:41I'm guessing.
06:41I don't know.
06:42Yes, you are.
06:43Okay.
06:47I have a 1974 Harley that I bought new in 1974 that's in the restaurant.
06:52And I kind of like the way the fender was done.
06:55And as Smith brothers did that, I wanted to try and duplicate that somewhat
06:59with the bike that I was doing with him, the orthism bike.
07:02Okay, go with hands for A.
07:04This is his version of democracy.
07:06For A.
07:07This is his version of democracy.
07:10Obviously, building this bike, it's for a good cause.
07:13Most of the bikes that we do generally are for good causes.
07:16And it's good to learn more about autistic people.
07:20It affects millions of Americans and just learn a little bit about them.
07:25What I did for Paul today was actually we had a 117 motor that we got from Burt's
07:30that Burt's letting Paul use.
07:32And I actually tore it down for him for the guys to get it power-coded to match some
07:36of the colors on the frame and the covers and all that.
07:39And this is an M8.
07:40So we're basically, what we're going to do is we're coming up with,
07:43we're going to use one of the other platforms to get rid of all the wiring harnesses and run
07:47a carburetor on it.
07:47So it's going to be kind of cool for Paul.
07:49We'll be back in Indiana.
07:58Yeah.
07:58Yeah.
08:02Yeah.
08:15Yeah.
08:33I think that we got more done than I thought that we wouldn't get done.
08:36You know, we decided to do something a little bit different on the fender.
08:38Christian did the complete front end.
08:40The gas tank's on.
08:42We still got to build a sissy bar.
08:43We're going to run a king-queen seat.
08:45And then we got an exhaust, which is going to be, that's going to take a little time, too.
08:49But, I mean, for our first day, I think we did good.
08:56Drew bought two sets of handlebars in there.
08:58It was kind of difficult for me to figure out, really, which one I like better because they were both
09:02so cool.
09:03A lot of times I like to have other people's opinions.
09:05I still felt that there was a pretty close matchup to either or.
09:09Get the other set just for ha-ha.
09:11Yeah, yeah.
09:12Christian, these are nice.
09:13You came around?
09:14Yeah, they're heavy, too, man.
09:15Yeah, they're heavy.
09:16It's all right.
09:16Yeah, it's got rods in there.
09:21Okay, we're going to have to take a vote here.
09:23I like the first one.
09:24We got these, which they're very cool.
09:27I like that it has the rods already in it.
09:29But these in chrome are really going to be a showstopper.
09:33Hey, you're an A guy?
09:36I think A's going to match the sissy bar more with a twist.
09:41Yeah, I like them both, but I think, oh, they're both great, but I think that's going to match better.
09:45In fact, one or the other.
09:46Hey, you're an A.
09:48You're an A.
09:50You're an A.
09:52I'm going to say A because I want B's for myself.
09:55Yeah, yeah, yeah.
09:58Mike?
09:58I like B.
09:59You like these ones?
10:01I like B.
10:01But you're outboating, you know?
10:02I know.
10:03You're holding back outside.
10:04Okay.
10:06Come back.
10:06I'm going to sit now.
10:07Come back when you're ready to say A.
10:09Okay.
10:10I guess a twisted one, probably more, that's like a half twist, isn't it?
10:16Yeah.
10:17Yeah.
10:17This is like a half twist.
10:18Yeah, kind of using a white wave.
10:19You're going to do more like this.
10:21Okay.
10:21More like this.
10:22I mean, I like those a lot.
10:23I just made those the other day.
10:25A or B.
10:26Oh.
10:26I mean, I would go with B.
10:28I like those.
10:28I mean, don't go wrong.
10:29I like the full twisted ones.
10:30You like that better?
10:32It's a tough call.
10:33We might have to flip a coin.
10:35You know what I mean?
10:36But, okay, show of hands for A.
10:38I like the risers, though.
10:41Cleans it up.
10:44This is his version of democracy.
10:46He's got to put out what he wants.
10:47It doesn't matter what we say.
10:48Yeah, you guys can do it.
10:49You can vote.
10:50All right.
10:51I got to get running open the doors.
10:53It's up to you, Mike.
10:53Yeah, I'm a delegator.
10:55I'm a delegator.
10:56Okay.
10:56See?
10:56We got a lot to do today.
10:58Drew's going to be working on the sissy bar.
11:00We're bringing in Eric to do the Magneto.
11:09It fits right on the fender, perfect.
11:12I'm going to go straight.
11:13It's perfectly straight all the way up.
11:15It's going to work with him.
11:16We're going to hang in.
11:17Let's see.
11:17Anthony knew a gentleman who makes Magnetos to convert all of the Harley stuff over to chopper style,
11:22get rid of a lot of pieces and stuff we don't need.
11:24So Eric's coming over in a little while to help us put it together and teach us all about it.
11:30With this setup, you have the Magneto and you have the two wires, or you can run all four plug
11:35wires,
11:36run into the plugs, and you can literally run the bike just off of that.
11:39Right.
11:40Put the Magneto on.
11:41All right.
11:41Stand around.
11:43Look all right?
11:44Yeah.
11:44We're going to have a badass bite.
11:46Oh, yeah.
11:47It's like a cutaway of how the impulse coupler works.
11:51Let's see.
11:52It stops a paw.
11:53And this is the same technology as airplanes still used today.
11:57So this is the first time that we're using an M8 Harley motor in it.
12:01The wiring's a little different.
12:02Generally, you know, from the factory, there's all types of sensors.
12:06There's like 5,000 wires.
12:07There's computers, everything else.
12:09Fuel pump.
12:09So what we did was we eliminated a lot of the wiring by using a Magneto setup and going to
12:16carburetor.
12:16Having such a prestigious title as delegator, I feel it's my duty when my father's away to really lean on
12:23these guys and give them a hard time.
12:25What's going on over here, huh?
12:27You know, I got a job to do like anyone.
12:31I think it worked.
12:32You know, I kind of, you know, kept them moving, you know.
12:35And I don't think we'd be as far as we got today without me.
12:39You're scared.
12:40Yeah, Del, Del ran away.
12:43Del's scared of you.
12:44The sissy bar is coming along.
12:46Definitely taking longer than I think everybody's expecting, but it looks amazing.
12:49So it's worth the time.
12:51Christian's been knocking out a bunch of stuff with the tank.
12:53We had a gentleman come over today that's working on a conversion for the M8.
12:57Really smart guy, really interesting.
12:59So I'm curious to see how that all comes together.
13:01But it looks amazing on the bike.
13:02I think it's going to be a cool build for sure.
13:10I brought Del here, who's a super, super guy.
13:13And how I know him is we do a bike week here.
13:16And he's brought a few of his bikes here.
13:18And he just does amazing work.
13:21My name is Del Battle.
13:23I'm from Crown Point, Indiana.
13:25Working with Drew, he showed me certain things to do, tips and whatnot.
13:30And really it ain't that bad.
13:32And I'm going to incorporate it in some of the builds I'm doing back home now.
13:36Yeah, Drew, he's a good guy.
13:42Pay me that tour.
13:43It's got to be a better way.
13:49And I'll tell you what the better way is.
13:50A better way is if you have something with a lot more leverage.
13:54Yeah, you know what I mean?
13:56It's the same, too.
13:57Yeah.
13:58You want to try it, Paul?
13:59Give me that.
13:59Hey, man.
14:08Give me my job.
14:11So it was cool because I got to show Paul how to do it the old school way with just,
14:14you
14:14know, the torch, you know, and then twisting it to certain styles that you wanted it.
14:18So it was a lot of fun.
14:20I like it.
14:22Good job.
14:22That's the process, man.
14:24It takes a while.
14:24You got to finesse it a little bit, you know what I'm saying?
14:26So maybe you did 30 and then the 4-inch emblem over the top of it.
14:3134 overall.
14:32Yeah.
14:33Does that make sense?
14:34Yeah.
14:35Yeah.
14:36Oh, we're doing pretty good, I think, you know, for two days.
14:39We've got the front end on.
14:40We've got the calipers on.
14:41The wheels lined up, handlebars we've got.
14:44So we're doing pretty good.
14:46Tomorrow I'd like to see at least a sissy bar and the seat pan made for the king-queen seat.
14:54And then we'll go right to the exhaust, which probably would be most time-consuming.
14:58So we got the tank.
15:00I mounted it up, welded it down.
15:02And I was thinking you can even do it when you can run the hose like this even.
15:08Instead of, or you can just do a straight hit.
15:10It don't matter, you know?
15:10Same.
15:11Yeah, so put it there.
15:13Something like that.
15:21Well, of course, it's going to be a clear hose.
15:23So you can see the fuel level in there.
15:24We decided we wanted, you know, just like a fuel gauge on the side, like a basic old
15:28chopper fuel gauge where it's just a fuel line so you can just, you know, visibly just look
15:33and see your fuel level.
15:34This type of fabrication, I've never done.
15:36So I'm picking up and it's a blast, like I say.
15:41It's a good time.
15:42Everybody is great and can't wait till tomorrow.
15:45I look forward to coming back tomorrow.
15:55I mean, I got a lot of threads in there.
15:56I beefed it up.
15:58Yeah, Christian's lathing some parts to put into the battery box area in order to shim
16:04them up so that we can fully assemble the part.
16:08I don't know what he's doing, to be honest with you.
16:10I'm kind of watching him, keeping him company, you know?
16:14Some days I'm just sitting here and I'm just waiting for that second hand to keep racing
16:19around the clock, you know?
16:33That's pretty, that's pretty close.
16:35Yeah.
16:37I'd take that.
16:38The other one's not good, right?
16:39Yeah, we gotta pull that one in just a tad.
16:41Yeah.
16:45Yeah, and everything else.
16:47This side's out.
16:48The fender's gotta be, the fender's not.
16:51It's not really square here, you know what I'm saying?
16:53We got it right and it was worth it because it's really a nice sissy bar.
16:58A lot of time in that sissy bar.
17:00And then Drew's gonna be working on the exhaust, which I'm really excited about.
17:07Let me see, brother.
17:09Yeah, that's cool.
17:11That's cool, man.
17:13That's cool.
17:14That's cool, man.
17:16So I'm really excited about this bike.
17:18It's for autism awareness and I think it's turning out better than we had expected.
17:22Do you want to pass the axle or...
17:25I'd like to do it.
17:26Do you know what I mean?
17:27I'd like to do it like this.
17:28You want it really close to the...
17:30Yeah.
17:31You want them dual like that?
17:32If you've got a pain in your ass, I want them.
17:34We can do it.
17:35I think that'll look cool.
17:37Okay.
17:38Just have them parallel like that?
17:40Yeah, one side.
17:40It could be, you know, you could leave a little space in between.
17:43Yeah.
17:44You know what I mean?
17:44Whatever.
17:44Blow your ears out.
17:46Right?
17:47So I'm gonna jump on the exhaust.
17:48We're gonna do like a two-inch exhaust and we're gonna do like a really cool upsweep.
17:52Old school chopper style.
17:54Then probably just go real tall.
17:57This is keeping it up over here, you know?
17:59Right.
18:01Let's mark and shear it.
18:04We can do that, right?
18:05That's about where that's gonna be, no matter what, right?
18:09So...
18:12Yeah, that's good.
18:14Let's get it all centered.
18:15All right, I think you need to just eat it.
18:18Let's just press it down a little bit again.
18:27Back in the center.
18:30You want to take it over here or you want to...
18:32We're gonna have to add a piece of base.
18:34All right.
18:35Go up a little bit.
18:38There you go.
18:39Right there.
18:40That'll work.
18:45Is this the top with your fingers?
18:47Oh, no.
18:48Look, this top.
18:53That's good.
19:00I don't know, man.
19:01It's looking pretty baller to me.
19:03It's a perfect fit.
19:06I don't know.
19:07Wait a second.
19:08Tell me when it's straight.
19:09Got to get it right first.
19:11You guys, man.
19:13You and your buddy Drew over here.
19:16Shooting the darts in the dark.
19:19Get going on making the pipes.
19:21I think I'm gonna do like an upsweep setup on this one.
19:24And that's what Paul was wanting.
19:26We're gonna do something real tall.
19:28And yeah, it'll be kind of old school chopper stuff.
19:31It'll look good.
19:32All right.
19:32So now I got something to work with.
19:34I want three quarter to two inch.
19:36So we're gonna bolt these into the motor.
19:38I mean, what do you think, Derek, Del?
19:41I like your idea from yesterday's side-by-side.
19:45That'll give it a more of a one-of-a-kind look.
19:48Let me see, brother.
19:50Yeah, that's cool.
19:52That's cool, man.
19:55Right, bro?
19:56That's what you want to say.
19:57Nah, that's nice.
19:58Hold that there for a second.
20:00Don't move.
20:02Smile.
20:04Never mind.
20:05Don't smile.
20:05All right, good.
20:07Back to work.
20:08All right, bro.
20:16Kind of looking at it and see if I like it.
20:19I'm the one that's got to like it.
20:24Let me know, because I only got, I got, well, I guess we got a little bit more straight peas.
20:28I like it.
20:30We're gonna go a little bit higher on the sissy bar.
20:33So I'm just trying to tie in this last little 45 that I need to do.
20:37So today went good.
20:39It's our fourth day.
20:41I think that for, you know, we're not working with a huge crew like with the OCC we had in
20:48New York.
20:48But I think that, um, I think that we're getting a lot done.
20:52Nice, smooth boost.
20:53Very good.
21:03So building these bikes back-to-back like we are doing, it builds the tension and the stress level a
21:08little bit.
21:09So Paul had a great idea.
21:10Let's do something to blow off some steam, some team building.
21:13So there's a place down the street, Peepaw's.
21:15They have some axe throwing in the back.
21:17We figured this is a great way to get off some steam, have some fun, and just get out of
21:20the shop for a few hours.
21:21So, welcome on in.
21:23Name is Nigel.
21:24This is Peepaw's Garage here.
21:25We are an official waddle venue, World Accenture League.
21:27So you guys are gonna be throwing on the same style boards that pros compete on.
21:31I am a certified coach for that organization.
21:34More importantly, at least for me, is I am a certified judge for that organization.
21:37So I will definitely be judging you guys here today.
21:39Nice, smooth whoosh.
21:40Very good.
21:42Not bad.
21:43Competition.
21:45One, that is actually one of my, uh, very good.
21:50Damn.
21:51I got it.
21:51Who would have known that Mikey is like an axe throwing god?
21:58And that's a bullseye right there.
22:00You know, the guy picked up an axe.
22:02I think this second throw, he was nailing it.
22:04There it was.
22:05That's a solid stick right there.
22:08Christian and Paul did really well, as did Joni and myself.
22:10But, yeah, those three were really on target.
22:13I was pretty happy with my performance.
22:15The guy that took the, took it away was, uh, Christian.
22:18But I still think the best, the best thrower here was Michael.
22:24Hey-oh.
22:25There we go.
22:26It's pretty cool.
22:27Uh, I don't think any of us has ever done it before.
22:29A lot of fun, a lot of stress reliefs.
22:31And I think it was a good time.
22:32But it's time to hit back to the shop and get that bike built.
22:38My name is Billy Rude.
22:40I actually work at Burt's Barracuda Harley-Davidson.
22:42Um, which is right next door here to Paul's shop.
22:44Me and Paul kind of, you know, met in passing in the shop there.
22:47And anything I can help out with, I try.
22:49The spacers and then your pivot shaft.
23:00Hey, what's his name?
23:02Help.
23:03You're here last week.
23:05How's it going?
23:07Everything's there, man.
23:08You're loading?
23:08Yeah, we're done.
23:09We're going to have a Speedo for you.
23:10What about the primer?
23:11So we have a...
23:12Just put a Speedo.
23:13Um, if you need me to come back over and throw that together, I can't.
23:16We're starting out a little shaky.
23:18Some of the stuff wasn't powder-coated.
23:20The exhaust needs to be recoated.
23:22But, uh, we're moving along now.
23:24And, um, we got Mikey here.
23:27Where's Mike?
23:30He's doing inventory.
23:32Sandbagging.
23:34So we got to get back to work.
23:43Yeah, buddy.
23:47Man, that looks nice.
23:50What are you doing here?
23:51Last-minute decision.
23:53What did you do?
23:53Come all the way down?
23:54Yeah.
23:55When?
23:56Got here yesterday.
23:57My man Ken flew down.
23:59Surprise, surprise.
24:00The colors are great.
24:02The, uh, the beige color is really nice.
24:05I really like that, uh, color.
24:07To me, it's nostalgic.
24:08Almost looks like psychedelic, man.
24:11Wow, that's really nice, does it?
24:13As usual, they always give me that real tight timeline.
24:17Supposed to ship it out.
24:18Didn't quite make it, so I had to jump on a plane,
24:21put it in my suitcase, and get it here.
24:23Tried to replicate, like, some of the toys that they use for autism.
24:27The poppets and, uh, the rear fender.
24:31We did the fidget spinners.
24:32Mounted those on.
24:33It was a little cool add-on.
24:35Every bike we do, I find that there's a message in it.
24:38The more the message gets out to more and more people,
24:42uh, the better it is.
24:44And, uh, so that's kind of my, my philosophy is, you know,
24:47like, let people that don't, that are not informed, get informed.
25:18We're out to full of the bottom line.
25:20Yes.
25:21All right, good.
25:23Good design.
25:24I said, man, this, this bike, the car and everything,
25:28it would look great, you know?
25:30What do you want me to do?
25:31Matt, we don't do that.
25:32Or, or.
25:35Obviously.
25:36I love the bars.
25:38I do, too.
25:38They're really different, you know?
25:40They're cool.
25:41Everything's pretty cool.
25:42The old man's got eyes in the back of his head.
25:45He's got a fidget spinner.
25:47It's a fidget spinner.
25:50That's wild, ain't it?
25:51That is wild.
25:53The tank for the autism bike is my all-time favorite.
25:57I always said I never had a favorite,
25:59but there's just something magical about it.
26:02It's the colors, it's the feel.
26:04I could not have been happier than I was with that tank.
26:07The bike looks amazing, doesn't it?
26:09The bike does look amazing, honestly.
26:12How nice is that bike?
26:13I don't think I've ever seen a white engine.
26:15It's not a white, it's white and black.
26:16You want to argue over what color that is?
26:18Oh.
26:19You're colorblind, so stay out of it.
26:21I picked the colors, so.
26:22Of course you did.
26:23If it's done right, you picked it.
26:25Right, Jim?
26:26Pretty much.
26:27Yeah.
26:28So, actually, tomorrow, if everything goes good,
26:30we should be able to get pretty close.
26:33Bill's coming in tomorrow morning.
26:34He's going to do the primary.
26:36Hopefully, we'll get the exhaust tomorrow.
26:39Uh, so, if we get the owls coming in tomorrow,
26:42so, that'll be a big help.
26:44Again, like I always say,
26:45as long as something else don't come up,
26:47I think that, uh, I think we should,
26:50we should be on time.
26:56Yeah.
26:58That makes a difference.
26:59Yeah.
27:00Boom, right through the whole billboard.
27:02Yeah, you can't ask for a better track.
27:05You might be right, uh-huh.
27:07Oh, that goes right out here.
27:09Well, there was two here,
27:11and there was two this side, son.
27:15Yeah, good, Ron.
27:16Uh, LED Forever.
27:17They do all the bike events around here.
27:19Uh-huh.
27:20So, when you said you wanted to put LEDs on here,
27:22they were the first ones I thought of.
27:23They're local, which is good.
27:25So, we had Manny come in, uh,
27:27to do the LED lights,
27:29and I think that, uh,
27:31I think that it was kind of appropriate, uh,
27:33for the autism bike
27:35because, you know,
27:37the colors and stuff like that
27:39we tried to blend in.
27:41I think if we do a multi-color kit,
27:43it would be amazing
27:44because you can go with all the nice colors
27:45you got on the bike.
27:46Right.
27:47And I think your key fob control
27:48will work good on this one.
27:50Yeah, we can turn 18 colors.
27:51Light it up, man.
27:52make a Christmas tree out of it.
27:54Christmas tree?
27:58Sit down.
27:59I want to tell you
28:00how proud of the man you've become.
28:04Thanks, Mike.
28:05That means a lot coming from you.
28:06Yep.
28:08Proud of what you've accomplished here.
28:10Yeah.
28:11I'm so impressed.
28:12I was overwhelmed
28:13and coming out here
28:14and getting some air.
28:17and, uh,
28:19he didn't
28:20return the words at all.
28:23I just like spending time
28:24with my dad.
28:26He's old.
28:27He's really old.
28:31He's older than he looks.
28:50Yeah.
28:51Oh, yeah.
28:54Dude, that frame's cool.
28:56Look good?
28:57Blue, blue, blue, blue, blue.
28:58It looks amazing, man.
29:00The colors are gonna be nice.
29:01The kids are gonna like it,
29:02you know,
29:02which is important.
29:03Manny from LED Forever
29:05put lights underneath the bike
29:06underneath the gas tank
29:08and they'll change color.
29:09So that should be,
29:10you know,
29:10when we unveil a bike for the kids,
29:12they should get a kick out of that, too.
29:15Pretty sharp.
29:19How you guys doing?
29:21Good.
29:21How are you?
29:22Good.
29:22Coming in here
29:23to work on a bike or what?
29:25Huh?
29:26You got your mechanics license?
29:30Sure.
29:31Huh?
29:31It's somewhere, right?
29:32You just can't find it.
29:33We had a attorney here today
29:34and, uh,
29:35my wife knows his mom
29:36and evidently he's interested
29:38in bikes and stuff like that.
29:39So, uh,
29:40we invited him over
29:41to get a little bit involved
29:43in the bike
29:43that we're working on now.
29:45This guy's gonna take your job, Mike.
29:47Oh, man, that's not hard.
29:49No, that was easy.
29:50There you go, man.
29:51This kid's a boring writer.
29:54Mom needs to get pictures, Mom.
29:56Look mean.
29:57Real mean.
29:58There you go.
30:00Yeah.
30:00Something doesn't look right here.
30:02He needs a helmet or something?
30:03No, no.
30:04You gotta have sunglasses, Mom.
30:05It'd be cool.
30:06You see how cool I am?
30:08That's because of the sunglasses.
30:09What do you mean?
30:11Uh...
30:12Jeez.
30:14You're good, bro.
30:16Boom.
30:16There's one on the other side, too.
30:17Yeah, there's one on the other side.
30:24There's one on the other side, too.
30:25An Orange County shopper shirt
30:27with my signature on it.
30:30Don't put it on eBay, okay?
30:32All right.
30:33I won't.
30:33I'm just gonna show it off.
30:35You're gonna show it off?
30:37Good man.
30:37It was a great experience for me,
30:39but I'm sure it was more of an experience for him, you know?
30:44It's good to see that, uh, that he got involved,
30:47and, uh, I know that when he left here,
30:49he was, he had a big smile on his face.
30:51All right, good job.
30:52Thank you, buddy.
30:53All right.
30:56Okay.
30:57We got all the spark plugs in there, right?
30:59Yeah.
31:02There's four.
31:05How do you know which one go where, though?
31:07Almond flour.
31:07It doesn't matter the front.
31:08It's the front and the rear is the rear,
31:10and that's why we had to switch these around,
31:12because we had it wrong at first.
31:13We didn't switch them back by accident, did we?
31:15No.
31:30It's not coming back.
31:32There's, I, I mean, it sounds good.
31:35Try that.
31:45It's been a pretty long day,
31:47and, uh, the bike started, uh, for a little while,
31:50and the throttle, actually, the spring was bad
31:52on the, on the, on the carburetor,
31:54uh, but we've been, you know,
31:56we put the Magneto on there,
31:57which nobody's really that familiar with the Magneto,
32:00especially the, the newer bikes like, uh, like this,
32:03or even this motor period,
32:05but, uh, you know, right now, we can't get it going.
32:07Um, you know, we've worn the battery down.
32:10Uh, the guy that put the Magneto in that,
32:14that runs that company,
32:15he's going to come in the morning,
32:17and, uh, everybody seems to think
32:19it's something, uh, with the Magneto.
32:23I'm not worried about getting the bike started.
32:24We're going to get it started.
32:26It's not, it's, it's, it's not like it's, um, uncommon.
32:29Uh, it happens to the best of us,
32:31and, uh, you know, the, the main thing
32:33is to persevere and, and, and get it done.
32:39Then I spin at 180,
32:40so my dot is there, and the other dot is atop.
32:43I just wonder if that cam timing's not off
32:44with going to, the way you're going
32:46to top dead center on this,
32:48and it's not letting it pick it up or something.
32:50I'm not sure.
32:51I don't know how this one works.
32:51Why don't you put it on your top dead center?
32:53Let's see what our cam timing's at.
32:55Okay.
32:55Can you get it to that?
32:56Let's just take a look at that
32:57and see if those dots are off,
32:59then the cam timing's definitely off.
33:00So these MA conversions with the Magneto
33:02is something we've never done before,
33:04because usually Christian's, uh, pretty good
33:05at figuring it out, diagnosing it, and fixing it,
33:08but this was a little more than we've all done before
33:11and a little more than we're used to.
33:12Anything with, with the Harleys,
33:14even, like, even when I'm doing not adjustables,
33:16I have to set my, my cam timing there,
33:19drop the pushrods in,
33:20and then everything will start.
33:21Once you're there, so, like,
33:22I'm putting my sprockets on,
33:24so once I put those sprockets on,
33:26I'll, I'll, I'll line my cam up,
33:28I'll line my crank up,
33:29and with those two dice,
33:30so my crank's lined up now to my cam.
33:32Okay.
33:32So that's how you get the timing on that.
33:34We keep trying, uh, process of elimination,
33:36and, um, thus far we haven't been successful with it.
33:40We have the right people here.
33:42I guess the thing is,
33:43we just have to keep going.
33:45Never really been in this spot, per se, before.
33:49It's a different motor.
33:51Uh, things are, uh, a little bit different than the usual,
33:55so it does make it a little bit more difficult.
33:58I do believe that eventually we'll, we'll get it.
34:01You got to sit down with Leo and his, uh, daughter
34:04and his son-in-law, um,
34:06and again, great people.
34:08I think that they struggled daily
34:10with people's inability to just accept
34:15that many of these children
34:18are just a little bit different.
34:20So, how's Olivia?
34:23She's wonderful.
34:24She's, uh, she's been very excited
34:26about this whole thing we got going on.
34:29Today she's a little apprehensive.
34:31Uh, you know, as we know,
34:32some days she comes in,
34:33she likes to be a part of the film,
34:35and then other days it just gets overwhelming.
34:37Exactly the same way.
34:39For real life.
34:40That's a lot.
34:41You know, people talk about awareness,
34:43and awareness is great.
34:44A lot of people are aware.
34:46But to truly just accept
34:48and embrace the love
34:50and everything these kids have,
34:52um, is way more important, I think.
34:54The biggest thing about it
34:55is just to show her the support
34:57that out there in the real world
34:59she doesn't get overwhelmed.
35:00Right.
35:01And, you know, she's really come a long ways.
35:04I mean, throughout this whole experience,
35:06the process,
35:08meeting all these new people,
35:09being part of something that's bigger than her,
35:12it's just, it's been amazing for me.
35:15And I know, you know,
35:16I got tears in my eyes already.
35:18I mean, you know,
35:19I'm too big to cry,
35:20but, you know, here it is.
35:22So, uh, that's why I wear sunglasses.
35:24I got mine on my hand, but...
35:27So, as parents,
35:29what would be your summation of it?
35:31What, what, if you have an autistic child,
35:33what does that mean?
35:34She's living in a world
35:35that's not accommodating to her.
35:37Some days, like, yesterday
35:40was a very good day for her.
35:41She could have done anything.
35:42Today, a little bit of a rough day,
35:44so she's not here
35:44because she's a low-functioning day.
35:46More, like, what we're doing
35:49is we're sending out a message
35:51and I don't think that message
35:53gets out there enough.
35:55So what you're talking about here,
35:57people don't know what you're talking about.
35:59For the most part.
36:00I agree.
36:00You know what I mean?
36:01So, really, the whole,
36:04as far as I'm concerned,
36:05the bike's always a tool,
36:08but I think that we have to create the message.
36:11Yes.
36:11You know what I mean?
36:12And then from there,
36:13the bike kind of takes it over
36:15because you're going to use that as a tool
36:18for people when they come around
36:20whatever events or whatever it is,
36:22there's something to talk about there,
36:24whether it's kids or parents.
36:26Yep.
36:28It's all about that.
36:30How are we looking on a bike for tomorrow?
36:33Huh.
36:36Yeah, yeah.
36:38I think we're okay.
36:39Does it have gas?
36:41It needs a little more gas.
36:43A bad chance happens
36:44because we need to not to start it.
36:46Never really been in this spot.
36:48You know, we didn't start the bike.
36:49Start it!
36:50Start it!
36:51Start it!
36:58All right.
37:01All right.
37:03All right.
37:29Oh, yeah, brah!
37:32Oh, yeah, brah!
37:34Oh, yeah, brah!
37:41Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
37:43That's a relief.
37:46Listen, did you think at any time that that was going to be something simple that was wrong with it?
37:53Usually. We know it is, but we didn't.
37:57It took a little while troubleshooting different things,
37:59and, you know, we came to the realization that after changing the spark plugs
38:03and checking the timing, timing was still perfect, everything,
38:07the compression releases were just staying on a little too long,
38:10so we just disconnected the compression releases, and it fired right up.
38:17It's turning.
38:20It's got many of my friends out of Texas.
38:22Sure.
38:23Because they're real fast, they're sicklers, they're real fast.
38:28Yeah.
38:29Right.
38:29Wait a minute, we'll bring it back.
38:31Go!
38:51So we're super excited. We're about to leave to go do the unveil of the Autism Awareness Bike.
38:55Can't wait to see what Leo and his family and his granddaughter think about the bike,
38:59because it's really all about them and their cause to bring awareness to autism.
39:03So I hope everything goes well.
39:14The reveal day was just, like, amazing.
39:16The kids were just so excited, and I think that they didn't know what to expect.
39:23I'm pretty sure that we nailed it this time in terms of building the bike.
39:29It took a lot of creativity and thought into making sure that this bike speaks to all of us.
39:38You know, we didn't start the bike. We rolled it out of there because, again, you know, we weren't really
39:43sure.
39:43And the next thing everybody goes, start the bike, start the bike.
39:47Start it! Start it!
39:48Start it!
39:56To me, it rolled out the way it should roll out. It was their show. It's their bike.
40:01It was just a great day, and I think we're going to bring a lot of awareness.
40:04Leo loved it, which was the most important thing.
40:06But even more important than that was Leo's granddaughter loved it.
40:09She wouldn't stop talking about it. She was always by the bike.
40:12So it's a home run as far as I'm concerned.
40:14We really feel fortunate and blessed that we're in a position to bring awareness.
40:23Amazing! I'll be screaming at the top of my lungs.
40:24My wife will be like, what's wrong with you? I said, it's just amazing.
40:27The kids are just pure. They're unique. And I'm really, really honored to be a part of this.
40:34I think the bike is absolutely stunning. Amazing.
40:37It couldn't have came out any better beyond what I could have even thought.
40:43I'm so excited about it. I love it.
40:45I thought it was one of my favorite unveils.
40:49You know, I'm a kid and animal person. So, yeah, this was special for me.
40:55Paul did a great job. And I think Leo really loved it.
40:59And I think the people here really loved it and appreciated it.
41:02So, another successful unveil for OCC.
41:05That's an old school chopper. So it's keeping the old school choppers alive.
41:09It's cool and it's awesome.
41:12It's amazing. I really like it so much.
41:15This motorcycle is awesome. This is a really cool bike.
41:35So, I see you guys.
41:36It's really cool.
41:36Thanks to you.
41:36I love you.
41:36We love you.
