    Four way bike build off on Discovery.

    Four way bike build off on Discovery.

    Tonight Monday, tomorrow Tuesday live results.

    Senior, Junior, Jesse James, and the Fast N' Loud guys.

    I'm rooting for the Fast N' Loud Monkey Garage dudes, they are cool.

    Let the games begin!

    I'll take Jesse for the win!!!
    Any day of the week the dude knows how to build bikes period!!!
    But I'm sure it will go to Fast N loud guys they seem to be the flavour of the week right now.
    I wouldn't count out senior though.

      I just seen the bikes.

      Senior's is a mostly all aluminum frame with no paint, not bad, but it looks rather small.

      On the opposite side of the spectrum, Junior once again built a HUGE and super long bike based on a car design, once again, and over the top bike.

      Jesse James went 180, and surprisingly did not build a chopper, but a hybrid crunched up motorcross, this was the surprise built of the bunch, it just doesn't look like your typical Jesse James bike, I don't know if I like it that much, he also went two weeks over the deadline, and the other teams were not too happy about it.

      Then you have the Fast N' Loud guys, to me, they built the most practical bike, they rode it from Texas to Nevada, I dig it, if you gave me a choice of which ones of the Bikes in this competition I'd pick for my own, it would be the one from Monkey Garage, it's something you can actually cruise with no pretense or worries, I really like it, The problem it will have in the build off voting, that it might not be flashy enough, and voters might want a more artsy looking one like Paul Junior's.

        Fast N' Loud's bike has that real old school classic Americana look to it...I love how their bike turned out. Not super flashy, no extra bling, just some nice and cool lines...I think it's beautiful.

        The more I look at Junior's bike...the less I like it...I mean...it has nice lines and all...but it's too damn long...you cannot ride that thing comfortably...it's not only long...but it's overall too big as well. I also think Junior is cheating a bit by announcing that his bike is going to charity...that's an unfair advantage...he should not bring charity into a contest. If you want to give it to charity...announce it AFTER the contest...charity should not be a chess piece for checkmate.

        Jesse James' bike is growing on me...it's not his typical chopper build...he went for the motocross sports look...and it's kinda original...I gotta give him credit for taking that risk.

        Senior's bike looks like James'...but with less character, it just has no soul...he should come in dead last again, lol.

        Fast N' Loud:



        Jesse James:

        Can't wait for tomorrow!

            This was Junior's winning bike from last year...




            Seriously...that gigantic ghastly thing is not for real riding...it's just a friggin' prop...Junior's latest entry is just as huge...

              I feel Paul Junior is going to win though...he has a huge fan base...plus he shrewdly advertised his bike as a charity piece...and his bike is very showy...not very practical...but showy nevertheless.

              My prediction is that he's going to win again.

              But personally...I'd rather have the Fast N' Loud bike over Junior's...not even a contest for me.

                I'm a huge JJ fan, but just looking at those pics and not knowing anything else about the bikes, I like Sr's.

                    The more I look at Junior's bike...the more it looks like a huge horse carcass laying in the sand in some desert after being consumed by a bunch of vultures, lol.

                      Juinors got some fabricating skills but i think he went over the top with this ugly monstrousity.Jesse ventured too far from what you would normally see from him,dont like that at all.FnL's bike is really cool old school type and if someone was giving me my chose of any of those, thats what i would take.But if i'm just voting on which bike wins this contest,i would vote for Sr's.It has a kinda futuristic/old school blend that looks cool.It looks like something a Terminator would ride.

                        Good observations, and agree with everything you said except for Junior fabrications skills, he has none, what he excells at are in conceptual design, he's got some sic visualitations, but he is no fabricator, a decent welder yes, but not an actual metal fabricator.

                        The rest of your post, I tend to agree.

                          I guess "some" is the key word here.I wouldn't put Jr in the same class as say Jesse James.Its been quite awhile since i've even seen any of these shows.I think his name was Rick that used to work for OCC,then went with Jr?.He was awesome metal fabricator.I agree Jr excells at conceptual design.I liked his earlier stuff when the show first came out.The Spiderman bike comes to mind and i believe Jr did fabricate the spider webbing for the tank and fenders,so you have to give him credit for some metal fabricating skills.Some of his latest concepts are just way over the top IMO.

                              Quick results:

                              Junior successfully defends his title.

                              1. Junior
                              2. Fast N' Loud
                              3. Jesse James
                              4. Senior

                              Poor Senior gets no love, lol.

                              The Fast N' Loud guys almost came to blows with Jesse James at the hotel, and tension was super high between those two during the live event.
