ORANGE COUNTY NAME CHANGE-- Since we are actually adding to, and not chopping from, the motorcycles we fabricate and assemble, we have made a decision to change our name to Orange County Adders, or "OCA".
It is our sincere wish that this does not confuse the many fine corporate clients as well as the numerous private individuals who previously purchased motorcycles from us, possibly under the impression that these bikes were actually choppers, which, in the purest sense of the moniker, they were decidedly not.
After having conducted a long, and at times, rather intense internal debated on the subject matter, we finally arrived at a proper conclusion and decision regarding a name change which we feel to be more in line with our endeavors, and one which is more accurately representative of our company. We further reasoned that it would be the only honorable path to take towards reconciliation with an industry often hostile towards our efforts; an industry which we continue to hold very dear -- and one which we do not wish to injure in any way.
We feel that it is of utmost importance, indeed crucial, to make clear the distinction between a custom motorcycle (which is what we produce) and an actual "chopper" or "bobber", as the difference should be fully understood and disclosed.
As such, we wish to hereby unequivocally state that, we do not, except for on the rarest of occasions, build either "choppers" nor "bobbers", and so, this clarification accompanied by our new name, will hopefully help guide the un-initiated prospective buyer in the right direction, as well as appease the many veteran and - true chopper and/or bobber - builders throughout our industry.
Going forward, we are very exited about the prospects of creating yet many more colorful and outrageous theme-bikes under this new and far more accurate company name and acronym.
Sincerely,
