I have to give JJ's the nod. Jr did some things I liked, but he just took it too far. Had he shown restraint, he would have won in my mind.
This is how you build a bare metal bike. Shinya Kimura > all of them.  |

Pretty easy to guess JR got the most votes because he has a current show in production. Viewers = votes. JJ was the only one that actually built a bike. JR assembled a presentation piece. JJ built a bike just like arfcommers "build" AR15s. I think you mean JR. If he didn't mean jr then he's absolutely clueless. JJ is the only builder between the three. Forget what you think about him personally, his fabrication skills are unreal. But he didn't build a better bike. Ooh!! He slightly modified the jig for welding the frames on his standard production bikes! And OOOOooooooooooH! He made the same type of tank and fenders he always does, except oooooo! he but finny shapes on them. PJD = RJF Im glad that you get all your brilliant analogies from discovery channel crossover shows. Your independent thought is a breath of fresh air. You mad? Figured I use something you're aparently familiar with...or does your indepentent thinking prohibit you from watching the discovery channel? |

Fucking Jesse James built his entire bike by hand.
He fucking grew the rubber trees and milked them and then build the molds for the tires. He scraped the carbon black from the coal mine he dug. He fucking mined the copper for the wiring and then smelted it and then hand cast it and stretched it into the gauge wire he needed. He also drilled his own well to pump out the oil to convert it into plastic so he could sheath the wiring for the wiring harness. Did you see his mad skills when he cast the bearing races for the wheel bearings? What about when he cold worked the bearing rollers for the wheel bearings? It was awesome to watch him hand spin the wire to make the throttle cable. Did anyone catch the part where he mined the lead for the battery and then distilled down the hydrochloric acid? Fuck my life, Jesse James is the man!

There was only one bike builder on stage. I know Jesse through business (I used to build bikes in CA). He is a class act when it comes to honesty, and business ethics, and a true craftsman. Those other two faggots assemble parts other guys build.
Jesse got railroaded by that fucking soap opera. ETA: Pussy is his kryptonite though..

I want to see a build off between Jesse and Paul Jr., one on one. Put them in a neutral location, no outside help other then paint and plating, no CNC's no water jets, just old school fabrication. Then we will see who the real bike builder is, i already know the answer. For all of you PJ supporters, do you really think he would stand a chance one on one with JJ?

He couldn't come up with anything new and normal people want to see new shit, plain and simple. And after looking at those weld pics, maybe he needs to head to Pittsburgh or somewhere he can apprentice as a welder. Or maybe he ought to just lay off the stainless, whatever. He was good for comedic relief and should have produced an updated quality product-he didn't. I didn't particularly like the PJD bike either but at least he wasn't telling the camera "Well I don't intend to make anything shiny or riveted." and then do it anyway like JJ. And if this was about "rideable" someone should have just pulled a Sportster K1600 GT onto the stage.... You've never actually attempted to ride a "paint shaker" have you? |

Jesse smokes them so fucking bad they cant air the show BTW JJ is only a dirt bag because haters gonna hate. What makes him a dirt bag that he loves hunting down some pussy and bagging it? What makes JJ a dirtbag is the fact the he cheats on his significant others. Chasing tail is great, but only if you're single or in an open relationship.

And all that he built everything bullshit, yea ok, it showed other guys building his shit when he bowed out and admitted to needing help. Jesse James is more talented at fabbing hands down but nobody strokes their own cock more then Jesse. If jr's bike was more rideable he wins hands down. Jesse's shit was cool 10yrs ago.

Looks like 33% of this thread is Disneyland loving weenies with hemorrhoids and also the majority that watch that show. Indian Larry is glad he's dead. I think even Indian Larry can respect the fact that other bike builders might have different styles - and not try to goad them into a juvenile shouting match on national TV for the sake of ratings and his own ego (unlike Jesse James, who feels that all choppers should look just like his).. What's lost in a lot of this is the fact that both Paul Jr. and Jesse James have very different styles: I don't see it as good or bad. One was definitely more aesthetically ornate and designed as a modern, moving presentation piece, the other a clean, simple old-school chopper. Choppers themselves are all about individuality and STYLE, most often at the expense of comfort and agility (ergo, rigid frames, ape-hangers, big motors with small tanks, etc). If this bike build off was about performance, the bikes would look a lot more like a Ducati than anything presently on stage. THAT is what's lost on JJ. This build-off was about style, and to a lesser extent fabrication talent. JJ's argument about "riding" is foolish and ego-driven, if only because from an aesthetic standpoint he had no ground to stand on - his is more rideable because it has... a larger gas tank? That seems to be the extent of his argument. It may be something to consider when buying from either builder, but was not the explicit point of the build-off nor was it the point of PJD's shop, who caters to companies who want? Modern, moving presentation pieces. He's just bitching because he is a narrow-minded builder who things real choppers look pretty much just like what he built, which is why his bikes look more or less the same. Park Jesse James' bike on the street at Sturgis, next to 20 other bikes. Have someone pick it out from the crowd. 9 times out of 10, the average person would be wrong IMHO. Now do the same with PJD's bike - I'll bet the ratio is reversed. Which one is "better?" Well, that all depends on the purpose of the build of course. |

Jesse lost because this was a popularity contest and he didn't play to the full extent of the rules. Nothing said the bike actually had to be rideable and functional. He's use to competing under those parameters. If you don't have to worry about the bike actually being functional then the design parameters open wide up. You can get as creative as you want if you don't have to ride it.
If you remember previous bike build competitions, he actually had to ride the bike to the competition. He rode bikes from Cali to Sturgis. In the end that's the big difference. Jesse James is a biker. He lives like a biker. He builds bikes he actually wants to ride. The Tuttles are posers. |

When you look at them up close you see the difference. JJ knows how to fabricate, weld, paint and shape metal in ways the Tuttles couldn't dream about. JR and SRs welds look like dog shit smeared on metal. JJs welds look like something off the space shuttle. You might want to go back in this very thread and have a look at some of JJ's comparative welding prowess. I've seen Jesses welds up close, I've handled exhaust parts he has welded. I am dubious as to any allegations regarding Jesse not knowing how to weld. One only has to look at the pics to see how fucked up they are. |

Jesse built a nice bike next time part of the contest needs to include a 300 mile ride also, I predict a big auction in the future for OCC- place is going down...fast I bet most of his good employees are on Monster looking every day That's what all JJ supporters say. Did you not see him ride his bike? He could barely reach the hbars.

Of the three, the only one I'd actually want in my garage long term (as a rider) was JJ's.
And that's not saying much, because this was NOT his best effort. Not by a mile. I was pretty disappointed. I wouldn't really want to live with it every day, either. If I'm honest, I like my own custom bike more than every bike on that stage (technically there were only two motorcycles...), and it was built in a friend's garage. Somehow, I expect more from famous bike builders that charge almost as much as a house for one-off bikes. |

All this reminds me of the late sixties and early seventies and some of the concept cars I saw coming out of a shop called Barris Customs. They were all the rage in car magazine circles because they were wonders of design. Problem was if you saw one up close you pretty much could see it was all style and no substance. If you put a few thousand miles on a PJD bike I strongly suspect it will be falling apart at the seams. Of course I also suspect it barely holds enough gas to even be a good bar hopper.
 That's the same thing I think of when I see a PJD bike. His creations are straight up trailer queens. If that's what you like then I suppose they're fine. Myself, I prefer a bike that is a motorcycle rather than some kind of bizarre sculpture. For me a custom should allow function as well as form. I've ridden many motorcycles through the years and can say there have only been a handful I didn't like on some level or another. I'm sure PJD could turn out a decent enough custom if the customer wanted one but it sure wouldn't make for entertaining TV. Since he makes his living working in a circus side show he'll keep on making bank on bikes with exhausts in front of the rider, weird seating positions, and bizarre pointy features. He's an artist, not a biker. |

I will qualify this with saying that I hate choppers in general, they just look dumb to me.
That said, I didn't really like any of these bikes. None were rideable Jr's would have been most awesome had he just controlled himself and went with a smaller frame and decent sized tires, and a fitting P-51 paintjob, not copper accents, I loved the exhaust arrangement though and it made the bike look very clean. Sr? He didn't give a shit period. They looked like they had a really good time building something that they knew would never win. JJ is an ass, he's too arrogant, and his bike looks like every other chopper made in the last 10 years. So he built his own frame, whoppeee, OCC used to have their own frame jig too, but they figured out that its cheaper to outsource some parts. |

It was a Build off not a Ride off. They were supposed to build the best bike they could and JR did. JJ build the most ride able but it was shit for design. SR's was shit to begin with. In every other bike build off on discovery the bikes had to be ridden. The builders would meet up some place and then ride to the event. Why not this time? Sr didnt build a bike and Jr's bike only has a range of 15-20 miles? Total waste of time. |

Pretty easy to guess JR got the most votes because he has a current show in production. Viewers = votes. JJ was the only one that actually built a bike. JR assembled a presentation piece. JJ built a bike just like arfcommers "build" AR15s. BS JJ didn't build that fucking motor either He also got way behind and called in a lot of help, otherwise he would not have had a bike to enter. And Fuck Jesse James all he has is stale skills and his relatives name. Arrogant cheating fuck, thats all he is. SR didnt lift a finger on his bilke and Jesse cheated by calling in help? |
