Get yer votes in. I gotta go with JJ. I like PJs machine...but you can't RIDE it any distance (where's the fuel...maybe 1 gallon?). JJ builds bikes that emulate art...PJ makes art that resembles bikes.
Did ya watch the show? That frame is all hand-bend, tig welded stainless. even the front forks are hand made stainless. PJ's bike, although interesting, still uses someone else's frame and he sent out both the front and the rear suspension to be built. As Jesse calls 'em: "cake decorators". LOL.JJ's just looks like another bike to me with some chrome on it.

Actually I watch American choppers all the time. The frames they have are built by them, mass produced and stored at their facility in various styles for use at a later date or sent to there dealer network. Yes they do buy some aftermarket parts, if they see something trick that will work on there bikes but have you seen the equipment they have at there shops. Trust me if they have the time they can build anything they have to within reason( engines, Trannys, etc)Are they old school like JJ. No. They dont have to because of the volume of work they have on there plates. JJ is to busy going through women to have a successful business like they do. JMO.Did ya watch the show?

Are you a fan of the so called "sled builders" who just bolt on parts?I say yes. Never been a fan of the "bolt together" bikes that OCC and PJD does...bunch of welded on heavy crap "theme bikes". Hey I'll be honest, I'm not a hog guy at all, but Jesse brings some skills to the table. Oh and if you don't know what I'm yackin' about, Discovery is airing a bike build-off between the three....
