jporter12 Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 Thread revival.So, the show's back on the air. Has anybody watched it? I'm sad to say I have watched a little bit of it. Nothing new, other than less focus on bike building, and more on the Jr. vs. Sr. battle. On a side note, I just watched one of the few unique, interesting builds that they've aired, the Lugz boot bike. Leather covered tank, the brass badges, etc. The letdown was that they should have used a springer front end for it to look "right" IMHO.

NinjaNick Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 I wish I could have them build me a custom. It'd be pimpin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jporter12 Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 I wish I could have them build me a custom. It'd be pimpin!If I had that kind of money, maybe. But none of them look practical to ride more than a short distance at a time. Practicallity factor is on the bottom with their choppers, and I have to get at least a little practicallity out of a vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dorifto240 Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 True, but don't forget Jon & Kate, or Hulk Hogan. Two other families that would have been better off without cameras recording every moment.I like some of their bikes, and they did push some boundaries design-wise, but then everyone tried to copy them. And now the chopper style is played out and full of garbage. That's a shame, because they really can be gorgeous bikes.The love of money is the root of all evil, and pride comes before the fall. Too bad more of the wrong people don't mix those two in strong enough doses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely an expensive town bike when I'm not riding my sportbike. I HATE riding a sportbike in the city. A laid back seating position is nice in town.True, but don't forget Jon & Kate, or Hulk Hogan.

YSR_Racer_99 Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 what "technical stuff" are you talking about? pre-assembled engines? bolting them to pre-fabbed frames? it was like watching 3 retarded monkeys assembling a 16 piece puzzle for an hour.Perfect!
