Biker Build Off

[metallimonster]

I liked all of the bikes.  I thought Jesse's last year was much cooler than his this year. 

I'm in the minority but since he left OCC I love everything Jr's built.  I thought his was the best this year and GM was next.  I loved the lines and coloring of Jr's, yeah it might be a theme we've seen before and that's what I thought when they started building it but the finished bike to me was very beautiful.

My favorite part of the show was when the GM guys totally backed down from Jesse when he basically said if you're going to talk shit you better be ready to back it up. JJ is not a guy I would want to make the beast with two backs with.

That being said, something is up with Jesse.  Seems like he might be bipolar or something. One minute he's the bad ass outlaw the next he's praising Jr for his skills.  He came off a little depressed and pregnant dogy to me throughout the whole show.

Dude's got issues. I remember seeing a program years back when he was just breaking out. Much more an interview/documentary than any of the documdrama crap now. He talked about his problems with booze, drugs some personality instability etc.

none of them ran during the show...

All of them were driven onto the stage.

Jesse's talk about building a totally USA-built sportbike was interesting. Here are some pics:

I'd like to see a build-off where they build bikes like these.

Exile actually was on one of the first biker build offs.

Yes, when actually Biker Build Off was the real one. With builders like Indian Larry, and others, and the show was more about building bikes, than fake drama and trash talk.

JJ has ben building bikes for a LONG time.... So have several other builders


I'm not sure what the rules  are, but... Roland Sands has an affinity for sport bikes...



hmmm..... Buell had been making sport bikes for a while- without much love or support from Hardly-Ableson.

At this juncture, it'd be nice to see something DIFFERENT :

Not a Nostalgia "old Skool" bike
Not some Ghey-Ass "Theme" bike- 

How 'bout a different drivetrain/powerplant....?

Different style.... ?

The mainstream voter (for this type of crap show) seems all boner'd for the theme bike crap.... and the shit that made all these bikers famous 10 years ago.....


Mybe I'm stuck in the sport bike - non-squid-actually can ride- hits trackdays-goes to MotoGP-uses my bikes EVERY-eFFi'n-day.. crowd

I think its fair to sat that we ALL know that if ther rules were :

Here's a pile of metal tubing, sheet metal, a motor/trans and a set of wheels... Now build a bike...


We ALL know who would win....... (JJ... PERIOD)


These type of 'Reality Shows" are actually lame... but have the uncanny ability to reel people (Lawbreaker included) in to see what happens and who will have the most drama.....


Maybe someone should do a MOTORCYCLE Build-off with builders other than strict H-D people..


Flightcycles.... BooM !!!

I really like how this bike looks, but look at the fork travel on that thing.  No thanks. 

The pics don't do the paint justice.
