    Biker Build Off on Discovery

    The rhetoric is annoying, but the bikes were nice. I think if Jesse James wasn't such a jerk, he probably could have won. However, I don't even think these bikes are comparable - all subjective.

    Anybody watch it?

    Watched it to see how the Gas Monkey bike would turn out. I liked theirs the best and was glad to see that they placed. I've always had a "simpler is better" mentality when it comes to bikes/cars..

      Same. I loved their bike. Even the size, they nailed it.

        Fred should have won. Wish they would have rated third and fourth.

            I'm not into those guys, but FUCK Jr and Sr. GTF off my TV.

            Jesse, I've been a fan of for a long time, since Monster Garage.

            FnL, they're cool in my book....but I still don't believe Rich holds the cross country time record.

              They said that one of the guys from Gas Monkey rode the bike to Vegas from Texas..Is this thing pretty much a fully rigid bike considering it looks like the fork has 1/4 inch of travel?

                My bike rating would probably go

                Jesse
                FnL
                Senior
                Junior

                My rating with builder considered would go

                FnL
                Junior/Senior (Tied)
                .

                .
                Jesse (He is a whiny litte fuck tard who thinks his shit don't stink)

                But his bike fit my style the best. I would like to own his bike and Fred. One for when I really want to ride and one for bar hopping and cruising.

                All the drama in the show made it almost unbearable

                  ^ I'm with you. I think junior has an amazing ability to build a themed bike, but the size of his bikes are a bit much for me.

                    Gotta be honest here, Jesse James is probably one of the best fabricators of our time. He isn't cocky at all in person, really laid back and chill. What you know about him is all television bravado. That said I like to old school chop best...

                      True fabrication award = Jesse
                      CNC award = Sr
                      Land yacht award = Jr
                      And not to bash, but FnL started with an already built bike. Just throwing it out there. It was a bike build, not rebuild. I did like the bike though

                      I am a fan of cafe racers, so Jesse got my vote

                          Other builders built/designed their frames. Jr probably grabbed one off his shelf, but I'm sure it's his brand.
