    Jr made something cool to look at.

    JJ made and actual functioning MOTORCYCLE.

    I don't even know how you could compare the 2. It was just like JJ said last night. It's got like a 3/4 gallon gas tank that's gonna get you on a 20 mile round trip.

    My .02 is that Juniors bike won hands down. Sure, he made the gas tank run the oil for the jetting...But, I think it could easily be a functioning tank. That aside, Jesse's bike was old and tired in my opinion. I've been watching his stuff since he first got on tv, and nothing has really changed. He is still building the same bike he was building 10 years ago. I like the guy, I love his attitude, but I don't like the old bikes he keeps regurgitating. I think it's great that he makes most of the stuff by hand (even though he said on tv that "everything" was done by hand"} he obviously didn't make the motor, tires, rims, etc. This was a bike build-off, not a hand craftsmanship/blacksmithing buildoff which were really his only talking points. Sure, JR's bike was flashy, but it was awesome flashy in my opinion. I think more innovation and thought went into JR's than anyone else's. Sr's was just straight up retarded. He built a snowmobile. A retarded one at that. It just shows me that PJD was actually the innovator over at OCC, and his dad is just mad he overshadowed him. In the end, I'm probably just partial to copper, and when that motor came rolling into the shop, I already had my decision made.
