I think occ missed the mark by not bring-in a bike.  ;D
I really think jpd did the coolest, but jesse built a real rider!

One was not a bike and two had a giant frame neck and headlight in your face to look around while riding. None were practical for real riding.

I wanted Jesse to win.
He was the only one that built a bike you could ride.
I think he should of won hands down. I didn't get a vote in so I didn't really help. Sorry Jesse.

OCC's ...thing...was a joke
JJ is a tool....he's built better bikes...certianly not ground breaking...and if you watched him ride it he had to look around the side of the front end...too dangerous
PJD's bike was bad ass...too bad it didnt have a bigger gas tank.  Jesse is a builder, OCC is a assembler, Paul is the best designer..

Jesse James was the only bike builder in the first place.  And it was clearly decided by people who don't ride.  What OCC built wasn't even street legal, much less a bike, although for what it is, it's sorta cool.  Jr. can't build anything that isn't a theme bike, and therefore, isn't a real bike either.  It ain't a real bike unless you can really ride it.

Here's a example of JJ doing something airplane inspired. ;)

I think all 3 characters are essentially the same.  They are all trying to promote their "image" to prolong their stay on TV.  They all built show bikes (even Jesse) to compete in a bike show.  Real bike builders actually build bikes for a living not star on TV shows about building bikes (even Jesse).  I thought it was funny to see "Jesse James Blacksmith" airing on the History Channel Sunday morning.  Obviously the build-off was a way to promote Jesse and test if audiences will even want to watch his new 2 hour special due to all the bad press he got last year.  My guess is "Jesse James Blacksmith" will get a big promotional push on the Discovery channel very soon.
