I really like Gas Monkey's bike. They are the only ones who made a true old school bobber that isn't completely retarded. I'm sure I'm biased since I love bobbers but they stayed true to what building a bike is all about. All the other guys do is open a parts catalog, buy a bunch of stuff, and slap it together with a custom chassis (which all look the same)
Jessie James basically trashed Buells :/

I wonder if Sal was a last minute backup for Jerry springer. This is getting pretty lame and ridiculous.

huh [confused] Did you not see them fabin' up all the parts from blocks of aluminum. OCC made their own wheels and frame from a Watert-jet. How is that from a magazine?
You can like the GMG bike but dont let it take away from the amazing skills and hardwork that went into the other bikes. Cause if Gas Monkey had those machines they would be using them too. Also why its a little unfair.....
Still liked the GMG bike Best. The whole chopper thing started with young vets coming back from war and building something custom, build by and for the average guy. Jessie,Sr, and Jr have LONG forgot what its like to be the regular guy. I mean a normal person cant even relate to there bikes, and their shop. At least with the GMG bike, its a CHOPPER for one (I mean Chopper live is the name of this show) and two, was built by two guys that almost every guy in America can relate, and three, out of a shop that could almost be in anyone's back yard. Built by hand, with tools out a an average garage, based off the original design.
Also, I would have loved to been on that stage after the show to hear the B.S. coming out of Jessie James. What a Bitch!! Talented yes, greatest, that's open to discussion. The only reason he is famous is cause Discovery started in his shop. Had they started in another shop, we wouldn't know, and care who Jessie Jame is.

About Jesse James' comment regarding American sport bike - alot of good points have been made above that I concur with - but have you ever known Jesse James to be a sport bike guy at all? Has he even spent much time riding sport bikes? Does he even persue high performance? From what I have seen of his ideas, it is all old school, low tech. No advancement of motorcycle design.

Jessie said on the show yesterday he loved a badass sports bike and owns and rides sports bike. Also had a comment saying he drags knees.
My take on Jessie's comments is who really gives a **** what his opinion is? He's entitled to have an opinion, so hate him because it's different than yours? Not my style but hay to each his own.
I personally liked Jessie's bike the most. In not into choppers/harleys at all and sr's front end was hideous. I would ride the effing wheels off of Jessie's bike.

GMG bike was the truest to chopper/Bobber form. I hated the bars though.
Jesse's bike was ok but too many shiny things for a sportbike. (which he claimed it to be)
Seniors bike was the toughest looking on profile.
Juniors bike still makes me gag thinking about it.

Haven't seen him race bikes, but he does race other vehicles, mainly Baja trucks. But still doesn't change the fact that he a douche.

Actually he rides sportbikes. In one of the episodes in his new show it showed him riding his ducati.
Him talking about american sportbikes was definitly directed at buell. Kinda put me off but i still voted for him and think his bike was bad ass.

Thats not how its done but i agree with you they should have announced 3rd. You do second runner up, runner up, and then first. If you do it your way second place gets no recognition or applause.
Well sure they're fabricating a bunch of parts, but they're taking a crate motor and a lot of other parts and just CNCing parts to glue onto them. The fact that GMG didn't stoop that low and actually built off a 67' shovel is both epic and old school.

Enough talk about the stupid build off. Did anybody else watch amish mafia after, that was awesome
I just watched most of the first episode. Absolutely retarded. Everything on Discovery was already scripted, and this is no exception. A bunch of morons waltzing around in a pickup truck with some guns. And I love how they blur some peoples faces as if that's supposed to make it more real lmao.
