to me Jesse's bike has the best shape but i dont like the shiny look....Paul Jr. has the best color imo...i love the flat black and the faux whitewall tires.......if Jesse would have went with the flat black look he would win hands down imo

Jessie seems like a cool dude.......I'm going with Jessie. I think they all built nice bikes this time........except fast and loud......I could probably build that in my garage.

The thing is you can't ride Junior or Seniors bikes,Youd have to stop for gas every 40 miles.

This is oft repeated, but never verified. Senior's bike was made from aluminum and was undoubtedly lighter than it appears. The tanks on Jr's and Jesse's bikes seemed to be similar in size.

Besides, why is tank capacity and miles between fill ups the critical factor for you? These are all collector bikes.

Jr won and the Gas Monkey Garage guys came in 2nd. They did not announce 3rd and 4th place.

Personally I thought the best bike was the Gas Monkey guys. JR's was way to big and both SR and Jessie's bikes just look so small and unrideable.

But they didn't build their bike. They brought a bike they restored

Yes I think that is their thing though. They flip cars and took the same approach to the build off. I blame Discovery more than them. They shouldn't have been invited but they did the best they could with their skillset.

I thought they all did great bikes this year. I really like the black that Jr used on his. Sr's and Jesse's bikes both looked really small. Don't really care for Jesse, but have to respect the talent that he has as far as metal work. I can see Paul Jr being on Jesse's show in the future since Jesse brought it up that he would like to teach him about metalworking

Agreed. I loved the Gas Monkey bike...simplistic and pure with an awesome sound. I liked Jr's bike too. It was a show piece. Figured it was Jr or Gas Monkey and style won. As for Sr and Jesse....chopper guys don't want to see your version of a super sports bike. Just do the friggin choppers. And when did Jesse turn into super a-hole?

While I think that everyone on the show is super skilled and can do just about anything, I'm so tired of Jr using the same stance in every bike he builds. They all have the huge 26" rim in the front with very little rake. I wish he would use some different frames and different front suspensions on his bikes.
While I think Sr can be kind of a dick, I love that they try new stuff all the time and I think they employ some of the best in the business minus Jason, he's just flat annoying.
Jesse James will always be great, just needs to shut up about it.
Gas Monkey guys are pure entertainment and their show is different cause they don't have a client when they build stuff and they build cool and different stuff with regular tools in a home like garage.
