Hate to admit it but I am going to watch.
Not interested in Paul Sr or JR...tired of the freaking drama with those two...

X2 - But I still am only watching to see that arrogant "I'm the only real biker on the planet" Jesse James LOSE!...AGAIN! Personally I hope someone from the audience wheels a tricycle upon the stage and beats them all!

X2 - my thoughts, as well.

My take is that they are all more interesting than last year for sure.
That said, first Sr. reminds me of a Confederate MC. Cool and much better than his track what ever last year. Actually surprised by it, but no matter how they spin it, it is knock off of a Confederate. OH did anyone notice that the air cleaner sure looks like a knock off of a Big Dog Standard.
Jr. has some style, but not to my liking. Reminds me somewhat of a poor Arlen Ness. Of and the so called exhaust, sure look very similar to one of the Big Triumph. All said, like many of his, loaded up with a bunch of add on and skills seem to be more limited to being able to make crap thrown on to resemble something. Actually give Sr. more credit than Jr. this time.
Gas Monkey, old school, was done on time and was done like a true bike. If we are to beleave them, it appears to be the only one rode to the final showdown also. Nothing that has not been done before, but it does appear to be right and something that I would love to have and I think most of us could appreciate.
On Jesse, like always it does appear that he had the highest skills and did much of the work himself. Have to give him creed for his skills for sure. As far as style, nice but not that original. Roland Sands has been doing something similar for years. I am sure that it would be a very kick ass bike for sure. That said, not sure what is up with the change of rules (if there ever were truly a time limit), but he did not meet the time.
I do like his attitude though that F them since there still had a few weeks from when they were supposed to be done till the revel and vote and even with the extra two weeks, it is not like it was yesterday.
All said though, Gas Monkey built a nice classic old style chopper, legal, pure HD, rideable and met the original time. Appears to be very nice and to be honest very clean and reasonable. However does not really show all the skills, and there is many other builders in America that are not known that do as well or better.
That said Gas Monkey is a small shop and somewhat represents what many of the small shops do, so hat off to them.
Hard one for me to choose between Gas Monkey, Sr and Jesses. Do not see nothing special of JR except more of the same per say.
Lean towards Gas Monkey since they seem to be the closest to what a good builder do for the people that enjoy MC.
JJ has the skills and there is no doubt, but it is not that much of one off as he makes it seem, since Roland and others have done similar. That and he did meet the time. Also, he does have excellent skills, no doubt, but his attitude is getting old.
Sr. not original style either and still surprised. Would enjoy a ride on it. That said, he did not build it, but his shop did, much the same as JR. Kudos though for going outside the box.
Jr. cool, but nothing special, maybe next time you can order some 59 Caddy rear fins and weld them to the back and make another BS on, as long as Vinnie and Cody and the rest are there to do the work, he will always have a name.
Got to give to to the builders from Gas Monkey for they build, did it on time and something I would love to be riding.
Should be interesting to see whom wins, but for me Jr would be last!

Tried to watch but the assembled egos put me to sleep. Dreamed about REAL bikes. It was a good night.

With today's "reality" TV most of the drama is probably manufactured and scripted.Not interested in Paul Sr or JR...tired of the freaking drama with those two...

So true, about the only reality is that it is on TV , too many people take it for real and eventually the participants ego get into it.
Every watch Gold Rush, simple question since season one, it was supposed to be make or break and since they went broke, how come they are now finishing of season 3?
For Build Off, I do think that all of them is real with the arrogance and egos. On the Teutals, since about mid season 1, it has forgot about bikes and building and focused on drama, which for the most part had to be scritped, though I do think that with the money involved that there was some and is some real disputes going on. That said, put yourself as a worker in one of their shops and ask yourself do you think a real functioning profitable business could get away with the stuff they do!
Oh well on the build off tonight, going to go with the Gas Monkeys since there is closest to reality of all off them. Though for some reason, like last year too many non bikers will vote and they vote on cool and awe factor and not reality.
We will see, still I would be happy with any of the bikes except for JR's

Think Gas Monkey would have a better shot if they had a different color scheme. Really liked the bike and what they were trying to accomplish. Jesse built a pocket bike ?!

The color was not expected for sure, but overall it did come out good and hell I would ride it for sure.
That pocket rocket would be fun to ride, also even Sr. would be cool to ride also, still it reminds me too much of a Confederate.

As bad as I hate to say it, I'm thinking jr will win again this year just because of the viewer base and nobody(well almost no one) wants to see the kids get beat up on by an asshole parent. If he don't it will be the gas monkey boys.
