The cool thing about Jesse's is the frame and swingarm bolt directly to the transmission. Kinda Panigale-ish.

I like Paul Sr's this time. Built straight from a block of aluminum. Either way, what i thought was interesting was both of these guys moved away from their bread and butter "chopper" to a more sport oriented fighter. Even jesse said he likes going out to a track and getting a knee down or doing wheelies.

Sr's bike...

Bears a strong resemblance to Confederate's Motorcycle's P120 Fighter. (the front end, anyway)

Yeah and he went to a site where no one was willing to pay close to that idiotic price. Where people are educated about that type of bike beyond anywhere close to his knowledge. There was no someone ELSE at ADV. Which was awesome. You have to know your crowd and the ADV crowd won't put up with that bullshit. They won't suck his cock like a lot of other fanboy sites.

Very true. ADV and Pirate4x4 are both VERY hard core and very unbias as to who they show (lack of) mercy too. But then again, both of those sites are comprised of mostly 50+ yr old crusty bastards that are too old to HAVE fanboy mancrushes on anyone other than someone who can get a good nights sleep without having to get up and piss every 3 hours.

Bullshit.

I read the thread. There was plenty of mancrushing, dicksucking going on.

You are right, hell I even said they were sucking his cock. My memory is horrible

Hell looking through the ADV thread, the mods removed all the bashing and just left the man crush bullshit. Gadget Boy made a new thread with the bashing and it's gone now.

I liked all of the bikes this go around... much more than the last one... The second I saw the bikes, I knew Paul Jr. would win... My beef with his bike - that fucking stupid red chain... I HATE colored chains... I think they look cheap.

Sr's bike is my fave... in order:

1. Sr.
2. Jr.
3. Jesse
4. Gas Monkey

Though, it's REAL close for all of them... very different, but I think they're all pretty cool. Jesse's had too much bling, but Gas Monkey's wasn't original enough.

That's not gas monkey's bike. The red one is Jesse's bike from the last build-off.

This is Gas Monkey...

That's funny.

I saw that red bike and instantly thought: That's my #2 choice after JJ's bike.

Apparently I'm a fanboy.
