Re: Biker Build Off
I was a bit unimpressed myself.
In a bike build off you would think a guy would actually build a bike, not a flame throwing, track type vehicle that looks like it's more meant to run off road or on snow and would ride like a covered wagon if you drive it on pavement. They should sell that thing to the DNR and use it to set back fires in a forest fire situation. it looked like something you would find in a GI Joe play set. All it needs is a rocket launcher. LOL
Jr. built a bike that looks like it belongs in a freakin jewlery shop not running down the road. If you rode that thing to the local bar, you would probably get your butt kicked. Unless you were a girl that is. I loved his gas tank but the smoking exhauts is a joke. Why would anyone want to trigger that smoke contraption to go off while they were riding it. If the seat on that thing wouldn't give a guy hemmoroids I don't know what would. I couldn't see riding it much more that around the block with the metal seat with the rivets in it.
Jesse James sounds like he's stoned every time he opens his mouth, but at least he actually built a bike that you would get on and ride. However, after watching him actually ride it, it looks like a guy would get a kink in his neck from looking around the handle bars. The handle bars are right in his line of vision and he was having to look around the side of them to see where he was going. Guess he should have thought of that when he designed it.
My take is this. If you're looking for "Pretty" vote for Jr. If you are a "GI Joe" fan, vote for Sr. If you think a motorcycle should be something you would actually ride, even if you can't see where you're going, vote for Jesse James. I was touched my his heart felt speach about spending time with his daughter. I wonder how he managed to take time out from cheating on one of his women to even get involved with this TV show. He must need the money and a little positive PR.
Wow. I didn't think I really even had an opinion on this stuff until I started typing this. LOL

Re: Biker Build Off
IMHO they should have to be licensed and ride the bikes they build a minimum 1000 miles to the show to qualify.
I fish not because I regard fishing as being terribly important, but because I suspect that so many of the other concerns of men are equally unimportant, and not nearly so much fun. ~ John Volker
Re: Biker Build Off
Clearly the Discovery channel had emotion build into this paring rather than the actual act of a bike building competition. Were there any perimeters to adhere too? NO!. Was the tool of a hose trying to constantly have someone ranking on one of the two other contestants..........yes. Did the host try and pry the lost love between father and son out into the open?..............hell ya!!!!! What was the winner of the build off........the winner of? Keeping his bike? Discovery channel did not specify.
One thing is for sure. The Discovery channel is over the top when it comes to adding drama into there shoes. Gold rush for one, American Chopper is another, the bike build off certainly qualifies, then there is Deadliest catch and the knew Gunsmoke gun fabrication shop.
So in true fashion. Jessee builds a bike with old school ape hangers for handle bars, and long raking front forks. The Ape hangers are likely not street legal. Sr..........Sr builds whatever Jason draws up. Since Sr. is so removed from what the company is building he relies on the rendering of a kids idea to be a good representation of Paul Tuttle business model. And Jr builds a show piece, good for admiring and trailing to wherever it is to be admired. A "theme" bike. The voting began before the viewer knew what each contestant was building. That means people were voting, in the beginning, based on popularity. Not the bike. Vinny requested all voters vote on the bike. But that could not happen for reasons mentioned above. Plus, Jr and Jesse did not have a drawing, they build something that was rendered, secretly in there head. Sr, even though it was not his idea. Had a drawing, there wasn't a secret as what he was building.
The hole thing was a big joke!!
Anyone watching the making of Moonshine on the Discover Channel?

Re: Biker Build Off
Moonshine?? Now there's a show! The guy gets an emergency call in the middle of the night to leave the Still to go put out a fire that didn't even exist. Man I was on the edge of my seat. I haven't had so much built up anticipation since the days when I used to watch the WWF, now known as the WWE. By the way, "Can you smeeellllll what the Rock ----- is cookin?" Heeeee's back! That's right, the most electrifying man in sports entertainment. Man that got my heart pumping! Here's another show that let me down. I was absolutely CRUSHED when I finally realized that all those Tow Truck repo shows were, let's say, not completely real? I really started thinking that I was never going to find real good television until last night. Then, there it was. What is likely the most exciting, keep you on the edge of your seat, heart pupming, over the top with anticipation program ever to hit the airwaves. Yep, you guessed it. LADY HOGGERS!! Yahhooooo, nuttin spels Rednek better than a night of Moonshine, Rock Stars (theres a good one for ya) and the Big Chested Lady Hoggers. Phewww! I was sure that Boss Hog Sized boar that was rippin up tha airport was gonna git ol Charlie. I was so happy to see him come outta da brush in that pink harness. It almost brought tears to my eyes. He's a Hog Dog fo sho!

What de ell is LADY HOGGERS? Anything to do with the Hog capturing show on the Discovery Channel?
Re: Biker Build Off
Lady Hoggers is a show on the A&E Network. It's about two Buxom Babes and one redneck dude that chase down and capture Ferral Hogs in Florida. I believe it's very similar to the show on Discovery. Now that's some Gooooood innertanement. Here's a link

It all works.AJ's Dad wrote:Lady Hoggers is a show on the A&E Network. It's about two Buxom Babes and one redneck dude that chase down and capture Ferral Hogs in Florida.
