Default "BIKERLIVE" New Discovery Channel series

Who watched the new series on Discovery Channel, BikerLive? I watched it Tuesday night and thought it was pretty cool. I like that they chose small bike builders instead of focusing on the big guys like Paul Yaffe or Bourget. I also thought it was cool that they chose two bike builders from my state, TN. One thing I thought was gay and cheesey was the twitter voting.

I watched about 1/2 of it. Not bad. The twitter voting I didn't care for as well. Who won? Each had things that I liked if I wanted a custom scoot.

40Cal customs won, I think it's pretty cool they are using small shops too. There are a ton of really good builders out there that no one knows about.

To much drama for me! The biggest POS bike won the competition. The friggin thing kept breaking down on the way to be judged!

Twitter voting reflected the twitless!

I think Fred was a better build than those!

I forget which shop used a Dyno and a golf cart to bump start their bike, but they should probably take a remedial mechanics class.

Just build the bikes!

I agree! Waaay too much BS/fabricated drama. I doubt the show will last.

Watched every minute, loved it. I don't care how they do the voting, I like seeing builders that can put out machines like those for $15k. I liked the 40cal bike the best, and I'm not usually a fan of long bikes.
