Biker Build Off

[BikeryJeff]

Can someone explain why Jesse James did not win that biker build off the other night? Yeah we all know he is a cheater and bullshitter but he does make cool bikes and races off road blah blah blah..  jeez the old man built some weird snowmobile and Jr's bike looked like an oversized bicycle

Jeff 1988 FJ1200 (yep from Canada)

You couldn't GIVE me any of those pieces of shit they made. Senior's wasn't even a motorcycle. Jr. built a good looking scuplture, but it sure wasn't much of a bike. Jesse James' couldn't even see where he was going on his piece of shit,  he had to look off to the side (around the gas tank) to see where he was going.

I didn't watch the show, but saw a portion of the one prior where they were just completing the "motorcycles".

I think they are all over-paid toy makers!
Why do they insist on making "chopper" themed bikes?
Couldn't they just as well build a "sport" oriented bike?
Oh , no they couldn't, because they only use HD Johnny-Popper V Twins for power plants!
It was just a thought...

I prefer WWE Perfassional Wrasslin over the Chopper shows.  

The wrasslin is real and provides a better benefit to society.

PS, is this really a serious discussion?  This is really a sick attempt at humor, right?

What do you mean WRASSLIN IS NOT REAL???

You some kind of communist or sumptin?  I bet you wouldn't say that to Hulk Hogan's face....

Next you'll try to convince me that all those fake deadlines in the house makeovers and the bike building shows are also..., umm,... uh also fake???

The Flying Red Basteen is rolling over in his grave (assuming he's actually dead in real life, but then that wouldn't necessarily be life then, would it?). 

I digress, or tangent, depending on the direction.  Remind me to put you in a "Step Over Toe Hold" next time we meet.......

BTW, I only watch it for the babes! woof!

Amen brother. I watched those shows for awhile and then realized all these guy do is argue about the details of building UGLY bikes. I do appreciate their skill and I love those shops they have but it seems half or more of every bike is ordered from a catalogue. "Bike assemble off""
I'd like to see a show about behind the scenes of Moto GP or a show about building rat bikes.

I hear that!! We (wife and I) equate Harley motors to popcorn poppers. All noise and no performance.

There is a show called "Cafe Racers" on HDTV, a version of the History Channel that goes into detail as to how they build Performance Cafe bikes out of old school 70/80's era bikes.  Very entertaining and we all here are so much into modding our bikes.  I tell you they should talk to a few of these guys here on how to mod up a bike. There are some extremal well modified FJ's here with all sorts of nice bits on them. And I drool with delight...

One of the "builders" realized that the "Build Off" was a popularity contest and he was going to finish last no matter what his team built so his team at least had some fun.  So it came down to which one of the other two was less objectionable to the masses who do not ride motorcycles but watch television, a mass of people well qualified to pick a winner of this "build off".
