Hmmmm.... well,

1. I hate Junior's bike. Period.

2. Jesse didn't finish in time I'm not sure it's as special as he thinks it is... Plus, does it even run? Not to mention his, "I don't give a shit" attitude. Why did you enter this stupid contest then? Sounds like sour grapes to me.

3. The GM bike is a real bobber but it seems that all they did was refurbish an existing bike.... The whole time slamming on the other builder's buying frames and motors. It is cool that they are riding to the contest though...

4. I can't stand senior but I think that his bike is the most engineered. I mean they really basically made everything from scratch.

The thing that struck me the most was how each one of them spent more time slamming on the others while they did the same things themselves.... It reminded me of when I was the doorman at a strip club. Listening to a bunch of bitches complain about the other girls....

All these bikes are shit. I rather see a plain jane bike decked out to the hilt with awesome useful accessories.

That is prety cool, I would def rock something like that. jesse made soem off the wall stuff but always built his bikes to be ridden as opposed to the OOC bikes with a 1/2 gallon fuel capacity.

He tried to sell his GS build on ADV for like 40k. He got laughed off the board. It was a good time.

The cool thing about Jesse's is the frame and swingarm bolt directly to the transmission. Kinda Panigale-ish.

I like Paul Sr's this time. Built straight from a block of aluminum. Either way, what i thought was interesting was both of these guys moved away from their bread and butter "chopper" to a more sport oriented fighter. Even jesse said he likes going out to a track and getting a knee down or doing wheelies.

Sr's bike...

Bears a strong resemblance to Confederate's Motorcycle's P120 Fighter. (the front end, anyway)

Yeah and he went to a site where no one was willing to pay close to that idiotic price. Where people are educated about that type of bike beyond anywhere close to his knowledge. There was no someone ELSE at ADV. Which was awesome. You have to know your crowd and the ADV crowd won't put up with that bullshit. They won't suck his cock like a lot of other fanboy sites.
