You really can't help but love Paul Senior, Paul Junior, and Jesse James. You might love them like family (annoying sometimes) and be excited for Chopper Live on the Discovery Channel. But will they show the thing that people really want to see?
Everyone is critiquing the biker build off noting that we have seen Jesse James' car building skills more often than bikes. If you have watched so far (and are honest with yourself) you will have to admit that It looks like Jesse James will be a formidable competitor. The bikes all look really great. That brings us to what a lot of people are talking about:
Are these bikes just centerpieces in a CEO's garage? Could they really hold up to trips to Sturgis every year from California?
This is the question that so many are asking on the forums: Are they ever going to test the durability of these things Monster Garage style?
The consensus seams to be that the Pauls are cheating in a sense; amoung other things they built a bike with a gas tank that held a single gallon of gasoline. People are asking if this is a functional motorcycle or just a piece of art.
By the way; Here are some bikes By Jesse James:
Here is my proposal:
Jamie and Adam from MythBusters should do an episode on this. They could test all of the motorcycles during the bike build off.
How many times have you watched MythBusters and been amazed at the creativity? I think that these are the guys for the job; they would come up with a much better test than on Chopper live and it would be completely unbiased.
Everyone would watch another one of these no matter how they feel about the contestants. If you read the buzz on the forums everyone felt cheated in regards to testing the true durability of the bikes in question.
That said, I really think this one calls for a rematch.
