The negative thing about a bike build off like this...is that the average public thinks these bike builders are the best of the best...and this is far from the truth, lol.
Aside from the well respected Jesse James from yesterday's build off...the others really don't belong...all the other true great biker builders in the world don't think much of the Teutuls...who in actuality...were just small time average run of the mill bike builders...until Discovery and TLC made them famous...this new found fame...gave them access to things they couldn't possibly do before...such as top fabricators, mechanics, connections, etc.
There are bike builders who would've destroyed yesterday's bikes without breaking a sweat...bike building masters like Matt Hoch and the late great Indian Larry, among a ton of others.
I'm not saying the Teutuls don't belong, but the extreme publicity they get, and the false thinking that they are the best, is pure nuts...it's a disservice to all the other great bike builders out there who are not on TV all the time.
I love the Fast N' Loud guys, but to be brutally honest, they are not true biker builders...they are car and bike restoration guys...and that's great...but among the bike fabricator world...they don't belong.
True,Indian Larry was a master bike builder,i loved the bikes he made.You called it right Hector,Jr took 1st and poor Sr last.It seems today the most outrageous,over the top bike wins.
My biggest gripe about Jr's "stuff" is none of them are practical at all!!!
No way you could use any of his "bikes" as everyday riders.
Seniors only bike I ever liked was the P.O.W bike.
Jesse has made some amazing bikes plus he was doing it all on his own at the time he didn't have a crew like OCC.
Indian Larry made amazing bikes one of my all time favorite builders.
“When you say “It’s hard”, it actually means “I’m not strong enough to fight for it”. Stop saying its hard. Think positive!”
The big problem I had with this competition is the fact that Fast and Loud did not build a bike. They took an already complete bike and rebuilt it. It is not the same as fabricating a bike from scratch.
