Haven't watched it, not sure I will, but it looks like one guy won, but all three kind of lost. I am disappointed to say this, but JJ just didn't do anything to get excited about.  That said, on any given day, I would lay down my own money for a JJ original.  If a Paul Jr or Sr bike was given to me for free, I would push them off a cliff.

Indian Larry was probably my favorite builder. A lot of what JJ does reminds me of Indian Larry's work.

Agreed with Indian Larry...it was a sad day when he passed :-\

I miss the old Biker Build Offs...they had some pretty sweet builds. Also, it was more what the builder wanted to make, instead of some corporate fueled circus bike.

Billy Lane was a pretty good builder too. Off to Youtube to watch some old episodes!

I forgot about Billy Lane. He came up with some innovative things!

JJ bike = what I'd call a chopper. 

And it's re-kindled my interest in building one.

Damnit.

PJD has the best design skills of the group IMO.  Granted many cannot be ridden but that's not why he's asked to build them either.  JJ makes the "real" old school bikes and for those with the taste he's the best.  Paul Sr. is simply a troubled asshole whose alienated his own family.....all of them.
For a show piece I'll take PJD and for riding I'll take JJ but only if he quits making rigids.   
Can we thin the gene pool?

[bang] when is this going to fade away. The chopper is dead.  It needs to go underground for at least 20 years before it resurfaces.

+1000. I wouldn't have any of those bikes. Ugly, poor performers, and screams "hey! Look at me! I'm an idiot!"
