Check out the competition on discovery. Who's did u like the best.
 
I still like Jesse. While I don't agree with his personal life choices, I honestly think he has vision that others lack. I love his old school machinery and fabrication techniques.

The other 2 clowns are simply entertaining to watch. Though thanks to them, I now use my speed/uni bits more often :flipoff2:
 
Sr made an interesting machine but I'm not sure anyone can ride it. Jessie made a nice chopper that looks like a nice chopper. Jr created a piece of art that can b ridden. I don't think he has the total fab skills of Jessie, but his ideers are better.
 
As far as "bikes" go, I think Jesse will win hands down. It's old school, loud, and a bad ass bike you can ride everyday. Sr's is totally different, but more of a snowmobile than a bike. Jr's is art and very stylish, but you can't ride something like that everyday, if much at all. I think Jesse captured the true meaning of the build while Sr and Jr just tried to do something different and over the top. Tonight is going to be interesting to say the least.
 
different and over the top is OCC and PJ designs M.O. Garage queen builds that you just ride to the local buger joint on sundays with the other middle aged lawyers and stock brokers.

Jesse, while i assume his prices are enormous too,atleast builds bikes that look like they would be driven everyday.
 
If I want to ride everyday I'll buy a goldwing!
 
Still like Jesse James bikes better than OCC and PJD. Like the guy said "I'm building all my bikes on a motorcycle theme...a fast one"
 
I usually love Jr.s bikes but that one could have been done way better. They could have done the same thing but in a chopper format. That crazy big skinny rear tire is just weird! I'm thinking Senior might win it just based on the overall design, it's pretty dang clean. Jesse's is just another chopper in my book.
 
Yea watched it last night. Sr's whatever it is is cool. Jr's ugly as crap and does not look like something you could take and ride on a road trip. Jesse's I like the fact that he builds the frame, fenders and tank his self. My vote is for Jesse
 
You can't add a poll once the thread has started...

I didn't even know about this until thsi thread ;-)

after watching the show thus far - Jesse for sure.
Jr's is WOW nice artwork and craftsmanship - but yeah, it's artwork and no long a mode of transportation.

but I have to give props to Jesse for hand-maing something that is both stylish AND practical.

And that think Sr did is just... fugly.
 
20 miles on a tank? The buildoffs used to include a long roadtrip.......oh well.
 
Jr wins it. I agree that the most driveable would be Jessie but that's kinda like saying 40's are more practable for the road than 44's. In the end you are left comparing apples to oranges to antifreeze.
 
I just hope Jesse gets a show and just builds stuff so I can learn more techniques and hope Sr. and Jr. show goes away so they have to learn to actually run a business without TV backing them..

I say they will both fold within 2 years from the time the show stops..no regular bike owner would buy there crap.. and once TV is gone no company is gonna pay for a themed bike without TV time..
 
i thought it was funny last night when jesse said that juniors bike would go "10 mile radius" and jr said no itll go 20 miles on a tank. well it took as radius meant out 10 miles and back, junior just didnt catch it.

there were some people talking about how "uncomfrtable" jesse's bike would have been, you reckon they saw the metal seat on jrs bike? :lol:
 
sr didnt really build a bike but it was cool, and as has been said jr built a piece of art. im not sure whos i like more but i do agree that despite the fact that jesse "remembers his firts bike with copper and rivets" his was still just another chopper, as with all his custom builds, theyre nice lookin and all but nothing different or mind blowing or innovative.

Click to expand...

but I think I disagree with you here.
IMO it actually takes a lot of innovation to figure out ways to add or change style, yet maintain functionality. It's all the really tiny details that add up.
