Biker build off
Just watching the show, Looks Like Jesse took delivery of a nice S.E. 120 R. The only people that seem to know about this engine are people that follow the forums. I asked the service manager at the Moco down here how much they could get one for me , He hadent a clue to what I was talking about. Then a few days later I saw him and he told me those are race engines. You wouldn't put it in a bagger. Shows you how many Dealerships are out of the loop, and dont have a clue.

All H-D dealers want to do is sell motorcycles & clothes.
They dont have a clue when you ask question's

Most of those guys are parts changers and their idea of building an engine is busting open boxes with the Screamin Eagle logo and swapping parts.

Our dealer down here knows about the 120r. They will swap out your engine on a new bike for 5 grand and give you the stock engine for display. I think they actually have a plexiglass display box...

I liked all of the bikes. But, the more I here Jesse talk, the more I realize that he is a true piece of c74p. No wonder he can't hold on to a woman. He is a wining beoch, and no he is not just hamming it up for the TV... .. Discovery... next time get the old hounds... Rooke, Lane, EXILE!, Bourget, and them old Milwaukee boys... then we'll have a show... I know it sounds like biker build off again, but diversify... ok ok ok.. you can bring OCC and Junior back once and again.. just don't overdo it... I think that that's where all the hate came from... and how about giving Vinnie and Cody a shot? They almost had it with their co. I here too many builders at the shows... , yelling at the people waiting for OCC sightings and signings, "Hey! I'll sign your (fill in your choice of clothing or body part here.) Ed

IMO The Discovery Channel biker build off is garbage.
The Paulies have progressed in their skills somewhat over the years, but they're a joke and the fact that DC even puts them on the stage with guys like James illustrątes the s how's a joke too.
Love him or hate him, at least JJ is the real deal, ditto Exile, Bourget, Finch and a handful of others.
There's a whole new generation of motorcyclists /Discovery Channel viewers who think the new wannabes are much better than they are.

I get a kick out of these shows won't say anything about any of them enough has been said already.But an idea here an idea there it all adds up,it all helps build inspiration and keeps the juices flowing.My last few Harleys have been custom built to please only one person and that is all that matters well maybe two, the wife. She is a Harley girl she picked the paint for the 06 bike.Love that lady!!

The show was a joke. The narrator was full of drama. If you want to see world class bike builders go to the Sturgis biker build off.
The Pauly's don't build bikes, their employees do.
Jr.'s two wheeled thing is one of the fuggliest looking thing I've ever seen.

Gas Monkey boys built the only actually functional motorcycle on the stage, I liked the fabrication of Paul seniors bike out of the aluminum block but not sure about a 2 bolt backbone engine/trans mount and Seniors bike along with Jesse's bike weren't a real functional bike to ride and Jr's bike was just plain azz ugly as a mud fence in a high rain..I'm not big on theme bikes and off the wall designs personally, I admire the workmanship on alot of what I saw, but I don't feel like anybody except Gas Monkey built a functional bike...just my personal opinion
I will give Jesse credit for one thing tho,,he is actually a mechanic/fabricator compared to Senior or Jr and does his own work..again, my personal opinion.
