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.

1 gallon of gas might be to much travel with either of those bikes by the way they sit. Lol. I voted for PJD. JJ's just looks like another bike to me with some chrome on it.

I'm going with PJD. That bike looks sweet. My vote is based on looks though. :) not much to say on JJ and that track non-bike looks like a freaking good time out here at the lake!

There is no doubt about who has the better metal fab skills and who is better at auto-cad design (then sending a file to the CNC company to spit out a finished piece that bolts right on) Its a battle of old school pures-ts and new school blingcheese . Jesse's bike will be a true to form chopper that works all day long and the PJ bike will be a CNC Terminator with the only thing they actually fab is the gas tank and fenders as usual .:twocents:

Junior assembled something that looks pretty off the wall. Not my style.

JJ BUILT his bike. That SHOULD count for more than making a large order from the custom chrome catalauge.

In the end, the JJ bike actually looks like a motorcycle people may want to ride, can't say the same of the other two.

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.

Exactly, only one of the bikes on that list was BUILT. The other two were assembled. VERY big difference.

PJD that bike looks cool as hell. JJ is more old school chopper style which has never really appealed to me. OCC must have been on glue that thing looks lame as hell.

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.

PJ's bike is the one i like the best. Occ's deal is more of a sled than a bike. As for JJ yah it's cool he built everything for that bike by hand right there, but he aint built a bike in 5 years and it's a cool old school bike. But jesse's looks pretty much the same as every other one he has built. He didnt step outside the box at all on it. PJD all the way..

Put my vote in for Jesse James. Paul jr has a nice bike but if you can ride it for more then ten minutes you dont get my vote.

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....
Are you a fan of the so called "sled builders" who just bolt on parts?

Jesse I hope. Not a fan of the grass hopper mower. And the airplane want to be. My opinion anyway.
