Are there any pre-show pics of the bikes available or do we all have to wait for the reveal?

More like a rolling caricature or cartoon. I think it looks ridiculous, I'm not a fan.

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.

This is just my opinion....but ANY biker build-off challenge should be judged and WON by who's bike would you likely actually BUY and ride. I.E. orders taken (IF you could afford it)

I'd rock the piss out of that bike Jesse built. Not because I'm some leg humping fan, but because I LOVE twins and I'd LOVE to have some kind of "Confederate" type sport/muscle bike.

I mean I absolutely LOVE the Ducati Diavel but I'd like to have something a little different.

THIS bike....is different...the kind of different I LIKE






But for ME...I'd rather have red instead of purple

Thanks for the pics, Troy.

I'd ride a bike like that in a heartbeat.

Leave it purple. Red is too Ducati-ish.

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.
