Make your bets, who wins Biker Build Off?!!!

I think Jesse will do somethin' of high quality but I really don't know if he'll do anything cutting edge enough. The Gas Monkey boys will do something really cool and unexpected in my opinion. I think they'll atleast get second. Jr. is a fan favorite so he'll probably win again with a big ole shiny fishing lure bike while Sr. does what he does best....second best.

Also, isn't there some new rule about having to ride them up there? Or they have to have a realistic sized gas tank? I missed that part.

Anyway, who do you think will win (have the best bike)?

Yeah I agree. I find it pretty funny how Jesse and even Richard of Gas Monkey can insult american choppers the way they do. It's hilarious because they have pointed out exactly what they do and what those bikes are built for yet they are all on the same network.

I haven't seen gas monkey do anything with a chopper yet but they seem more humble and seem to know what cool is. pretty good show too. I don't care for many of these shows but there's seems a bit different to me and you can learn a bit from it. Jesse's show is probably the only thing I even watch on Mondays and I too hope he wins. I really wish they would have to ride those bikes up there. You would think that being a bike competition you'd atlest have to know how they function.

And Jesse's bike was "rideable?" The only way you could see while riding that monstrosity was to look out to the side, as the handlebars blocked your vision looking forward. He was hunched over while riding that, while twisting sideways to see where he was going. Within 10 miles on that thing your back would be killing you.

mosterosity so you rather have the donk bike with enough fuel to ride in the parade

[–] bikebryan 11 years ago

I wouldn't want either of them. I'm not saying PJD produced a bike that was ultimately rideable either with a tiny gas tank and a metal seat. But what Jesse brought to the table was his hypocrasy - saying that the others don't build anything other that table decorations, how he builds bikes that can be ridden, then showing up with a bike that nobody could ride more than a few miles.

he has put 800 miles on the ginsu bike i dont think the tinker toy or the killer snowmobile even has 10 miles on them let alone 800

I heard Jr mention something about the bike having to drive up the ramp under it's own power. Which tells me he's probably going to build another show bike that has a gas tank the size of a Pepsi can.

I think Jesse and Gas Monkey will build the best choppers. Using the classic definition of a chopper. Better build quality, and actually drive-able. Jr and Sr will build the only things they know. That is show bikes that were never meant to be driven. Junior and senior's showbikes can't be driven. Not only are the gas tanks too small to be practical, but the bikes are not street legal in most cases.

I think Jesse and Gas Monkey's bikes SHOULD be the top two. But won't be simply because of popularity. The buildoff will be a popularity contest, just like it always is.

Add to that, Jesse's mouth. Jesse usually says something that turns the American Chopper audience against him.

I think Jr will end up winning the build off. But I also think it will end with a sappy "re-uniting" of everyone from PJD and OCC on stage together holding hands or something dumb like that.

Yeah I love how they always mention how great their bikes handle haha it's crazy. And almost every single one isn't even street legal or user friendly in any sense of the word. But hey I watched the show and liked the heck out of that geico bike so who am I to badmouth their work.

I watched the last episode of American Chopper, and I thought the last two OCC bikes looked very rideable. They looked a lot like ordinary motorcycles in design, not that I'm an expert. The Rock of Ages bike and the red one, I can't even remember what that one was for.
