My two favorite bikes took 1&2, not in the order I would have liked. JJ and Sr, it was a chopper build off not a whizz bang sport bike build off.  Wink

Unmake the beast with two backsing believable  vomit

I can already hear the argument they built sport bikes to a chopper build off.

Net wort of the builders.

JJ $100 mil
Sr $15 mil
Jr &10 mil
Richard $8 mil

So doucheyness is proportional to net worth?

I kinda like GMG's bike, but I liked a previous take on that concept better:

You believe everything you read/see in the media?

I've run into JJ a few times before he moved. We used the same doctor and I answered a few calls for service at his shop. He was always very cool. He rehabbed a run down part of town and was generous to the community.

And at least he's legit and original. The other guys are just JJ wannabes.

I hope so, he was pulling $2mil a year when he did Monster Garage. Gotta get a break somewhere.

my vote went to JJ for the simple fact was in 1 key word.... "BUILD"...he did more to personally build that bike with his own hands using his own resources...

IMHO the Sr bike was designed on a computer and cut by a computer and assembled by Sr's crew....lot of nice engineering...but it seemed a little soul-less...

Jr's bike just did very little for me...neat looking and a lot of nice touches and flourishes...

GMG...they got 2 major things going for them on that bike over everyone else...they did it in a reasonable timeframe and they actually rode that thing there...not that I think it was stellar or anything...but in the end, a bike is for riding and that is exactly what they did...

I would have liked to have seen JJ get his hands on Richard though....looked a little tense indeed...not sure who said what and all, and I know that Aaron stepped up and apologized on stage and all...but damn...

One would think the 35% tax bracket plus the fact he provided jobs to quite a few people would be enough or actually (shock) congratulate him on being a success and not sitting on his ass asking for a government handout.  But alas the world is filled with envious douchebag looters as well.

Like lawbreaker said, none of them are original. They all ought to be paying royalties to O.G.'s like Arlen Ness,Sugar Bear,
Ron Finch, Mondo Porras and Indian Larry.
I am not trying to take anything away from any of them, I think they are very talented.
As far as who's a douchebag and who isn't, well that's kinda beside the point. Many, if not most, talented artists are a little hard to take personality wise.

I'll try again. Did JJ end up with a bike that was running and could be ridden. All the other shops had clips of them riding their completed bikes.

The Gas Monkeys one was very nice IMO, maybe the nicest, but it was hardly a "build".  Was more of a restoration++.
Jesse's one, I would have liked it, if it wasn't for that fugly three prong thing coming up from the engine. And the too blinky wheels.
Jr's bike was a freak show, and Sr was ugly, and Made in CNC.
