Gas Monkey's bike is a classic.
Jesse's bike has no frame. It uses the engine as a load-bearing, stressed member. Those three things might be supports. Problem is they hide the motor. The bike would look better without them.



I liked Jesse's bike. It was his arrogance and all the bragging he did throughout the contest that cost him a loss.

The OCC bike had no tubular frame. The engine was rubber mounted and hung down. Jesse's bike does have a frame, you can see it, it's purple and the engine is held within it. The three things actually look like the PJD crown logo to me. The GMG boys were complaining that the oil bag is under the seat of Jesse's bike and that the rider's *** would be on fire by the time he got to the convenience store.

I haven't seen a single minute of the show. I gave up on the whole Jr/Sr drama a long time ago. However, based upon the "real bikers" that will get to vote for the winner (if it is the same as last time), I predict:

Jr
Gas Monkey
JJ
Sr

It won't matter what the bkes look like.

Could you predict who will win the 2012 US Presidential Election?

I must be missing something (wouldn't be the first time). Is the build off over? I thought, by the ads on TV, that it was a multiple week thing.

Well, I guess I'll have to watch the reruns. Did a TIVO search and see that they will be playing reruns on Saturday. I'll record them for a time when I have nothing worthwhile to do.
