I like the one where the guy builds the seat with the exhaust flowing through it and starts his pants on fire. Gee wonder why that happened...:confused:

It's on here until midnight. Just started the Indian Larry and Billy. I honestly dont know id Larry is going to win. He's veering away from his old ways and doesnt seem like he's all that confident in what he's doing. But who knows? Larry can build some sweet choppers.

I agree, that guy did it all. THe paint job on that bike was tits. All of those bikes with rigid frames are a nice idea but who wants to ride them, especially long distance?

Exactly...I watched this series last year when it aired and it seemed like there was a bias towards the east Coast IMO.

Maybe the same judges were also involved in this years BCS

Borguet's bike was sweet! I liked the way that they installed the nitrous bottles into the gas tank and how they use the frame as their oil tank. Overall that was definitely the best bike. I did like the paint on the Paul Jaffe bike with the silverleaf underneath the red candy. Just enough to see it, but not enough to be too much.

Watched both shows for a second time.
I don't perceive an East Coast bias. But I do think the voters at the events favor the "old school" style and Indian Larry's "street credentials".
All these guys - Bourget, Jaffe, Lane, Perewitz, and Indian Larry
are artists, and I really enjoy watching them work.
I don't know any of them, but Indian Larry comes off as friendly and approachable much of the time. Maybe the combo of him and the bike pulls the votes ??
