Biker build off. Again

Just saw that there will be a new build off. A four way between Senior, Junior, Jesse, and the guys from Gas Monkey Garage.

Generally I like Jesse's bikes the best, but I think he is as fake as can be. I'll be rooting for Gas Monkey.

Gas Monkey all the way! I like 'em because Gas Monkey only deals in cash. :laugh

Actually, the thing I like about GM is they build stuff I could picture myself building and driving. I don't think I've ever seen a bike from the Tutle's that I would want sitting in my garage. I've seen a few from Jesse that I like, but none of them could be my primary ride...just not practical from my perspective.

Maybe Sr. will pull his head out of his @$$ and build a bike, Jr. will stop trying to make a theme bike and build something you can accually ride. You could at least ride Jesse's bikes. GM......Hopefully they will actually build one instead of buying one that has been thrashed/unfinished and just fixing it up.

BUT if it is left up to the "fans" then it will prabably be Jr........again. Could be interesting to watch.

When is the show. OCC I don't know who even watches that show or how they became so successful. Jesse is the guy who started it all on TV. As much as I want to like him. I think he is a very talented, dumb person. Just build bikes and keep your mouth closed. G Monkey guys remind me of Jesse 10-12 years ago, when he made bikes. The one dude likes to talk a lot too. So give him time to develop.

The count? I have not seen him build anything much either.

I know they did cars, but...
I think since Boyd's and Barry's shows there really hasn't been true builder show. Frame ups anyway.

I was going to add Billy Lane, but after Googling him, found out he's serving 9 years in prison.

:whoa

Involuntary Manslaughter during a DUI has a tendency to do that to a guy.:nod

Indian Larry was an awesome builder. (and the nicest bank robber you ever met R.I.P.) I'm still in love with the bike that he built the frame out of a welded up chain. It looked so sweet and he said it rode better than he expected. Those early build off shows were pretty good. The newer spinoffs, not so much.

The show I want them to bring back is "Build or Bust" I know if there was a way I could be put on the show, I would be riding that scoot home! :thumbsup

I don’t understand why everyone is so down on Paul Jr. The guy is an artist and has a great eye for design. They are all spoiled but out of the 4 Paul Jr. works more and talks less. Jesse has diarrhea of the mouth and senior thinks his $hit smells like roses.

The gas monkey guys still have a lot of proving to do. It seems to me they do as little as they can to get a car ready and sell it for as much as they can. I would never buy one of their cars.

100% with ya..I like Jr..He's down to earth, doesn't talk smack, or get caught up in the crap and comes up with some wild new chit thats never been done..His father is just a tool in every way shape and form, hes trying to be a good guy now cause after the Discovery channel vote/ forum Sr got hammered by Millions on what an ass he is!!:thumbsup Jesse just thinks he's badder than he is..he should stick to his porn girls, his bikes are all the same and break apart a year later! I heard of alot of bike builder and get Bagger mags, never heard of Gas Monkey???:think

My dislike of junior has nothing to do with his personality or the fact that he is spoiled. Trust me, I would happily live like he does and I think it would be cool to have a beer with him.

I just don't care for theme bikes. That bike he built in the first build off hardly looked like a motorcycle.

Guys like Indian Larry, Billy Lane, Paul Yaffe, Martin Bros and even Jesse James build bikes that look like bikes and try to develope technology to improve bikes.

When was the last time either Teutal won the AMD World Championship at Sturgis?

I admire his creativity and attention to detail. It's just a market niche I don't care for.

Didn't watch Jesse when he was on TV, watched a couple of OCC episodes when I was unemployed and bored (it's been a long time), didn't watch the recent build off, don't care, saw the results wasn't surprised.

I did watch build or bust, little too much drama bullshit for my liking but the episode where dude built a kick only bike was good, I didn't think that turd was gonna get that bike started.

Gas Monkey who? Sorry don't watch too much TV guess I spend too much time in my garage for that.

if indian larry was still around he for sure win, after all he won every build he entered. as long as they make them ride them more than 5 miles than they all have a chance, except for jr, he bike would fall apart. at least sr will be building a bike this time, i think he knew he wasnt going to win last time so he built what he built. jesse and gas monkey will build something you can ride, sr too, jr will build something you stick in a window and look at. if i want art ill go to a art gallery. that makes me think of indain larrys bike, work of art but you could also ride them across country.
