  1. Jesse is a douche but has the best bike by far, Paul Sr let the show turn hom into someone’s he’s not and it cost him his relationship with his sons and eventually his business I’m sure, and that excuse for a bike is something I can’t believe he would turn out in a Championship fight, Discovey paid him to lose I’m sure, And Paul Jr, the bike looks cool I’m just not sure you built it, probably scripted like every word that comes out of your mouth.

    • Well Kory, You obviously do not know choppers because Jesse’s looks like 1000 others I have seen riding around at every rally I have ever been to. You also can’t make sure and edit your comment because what is hom? Jr’s bike it fabulous! It was original and beautiful. They all make their own modifications and medal. Come on even Jesse called in other shops for help. He can’t even say He built the bike. All 3 bought the motors etc. I agree that Sr’s bike was over the top but original if nothing else.

      • hi,kerri, i think you couldnt say it any better.i think JR ROcked that bike.jesse talked mad stuff about his bike would look good be rideable and he couldnt even see over the bars lol. GOOO paul JR :)

    • The fact is there are dozens of people who have made bikes just like Jesses( tow of them were on stage). Can Jesse James say that about the other two? They are so far past just making “drivers” as Jesse put it, it boarders into art. He would of had a point if they didn’t run at all, but they do, and the bike that Jr. made shows an absolute mastery of his trade PERIOD

    • Was Jesse’s vulgar language “scripted” too? And did you not watch the previous episodes which showed Jr. working on the bike? Sr. did not throw the competition…the man has all the money he’ll ever need, He just needs the attention that a “buck the system” person gets. He showed numerous times that he won’t follow the rules, written and unwritten. As far as Jesse’s bike, it looks like a factory bike that someone stripped down and modified…something that anyone with any mechanical ability could do. Paul Jr. built a competely custom bike. Sure he used some factory parts, but Jesse did also. Jesse said he built everything on his bike. Lies. Discovery clearly showed that he recruited help. And what about the tires, wheels, motor, transmission, sprockets, etc.

    • Well Kory,
      I agree with Kerri! I am thrilled with Jr.and team’s bike and am thrilled that they won! I have never seen such an awesome bike!! I kind of feel sorry for Sr. and his team, he has gone out of his way to belittle his son on national television on top of being miserable to both of his sons I think he is getting what he deserves!

    • Obviously the whole show was set up for Paul Jr. to win, because he couldn’t really compete as a real bike builder, and even Discovery say’s that before the show even aired Paul Jr. was ahead on votes. Let’s face it, Jessie James is a villain and he isn’t likeable like he was when he was in MONSTER GARAGE, and then he cheated on his wife and now he even admits he has a PR problem, but I would still rather have his skills than Jr.s, because Paul Jr. is only a bike assembler not a builder.

  2. Jesse James is a piece of sh*t. His bike was nothing special and damn did u see the reach he had to make. Plus his sh*t talkin a** couldn’t even see over the handlebars. Jr wiped them off the table no doubt

    • Paul Jr’s bike looked liked 1988 Pee Wee Hermans bike with out the red.
      Senior needs to buy a bobcat skid-steer. I want to see him drive down the road for a few hours and see how he feels.
      Jesse built a chopper,that’s what I would call an American made tuff ass bike.

      • Jessie’s bike, really? Ummm, he beat up Jr. because of his small gas tank, but I wanna see hime ride that ridiculous OCC customer bike (kinda looks like the POW-MIA without the sissy bar) bike for a couple hundred miles. He could barely reach the bars and he would wreck it in the parking lot because he can not even see over the bars…What a douche…

  3. I would love to own this machine! Freaking awesome job Junior and team!

  4. Paul Jr has no competition in bike building.nothing compares to the art work he puts out.He always goes outside the box.The right person won hands down.

  5. I can’t beleave the amount of hate that i’ve seen on this and everthing else. what ever. its just sad Jas James god you could have ben bether! !!! What a poor showing boo hoo you suck!!!!

  6. hands down jr kick the hell out of trash talking james and sr!!this two loosers deserve one another..did you see the last part how they ganged up on jr after he won..instead of being a real man and shake or even give his son a big hug to congratulate he just stood there with jess..its just later on when his mind came back with some sense that he greeted jr..keep up the good work PJD!!!awesome work!!love the whole team and go mikey!!!

  7. Paul Jr. turned out the best bike!! It is like jewelry. I would love to have it but would be afraid to ride it. Wouldn’t want tot damage it. Jesse’s bike would be perfect for me to scoot around town. Paul Sr. and OCC built a track driven snowmobile. This is not a bike. I guess with out Paul Jr.his business can’t survive.

    • agree with you 100 percent, you could not be more right

    • Exactly, it’s like jewelry, nuff said, there are bike builders and bike assemblers.

  8. P J D and team. great job, you proved you don t have to be like your dad to to do busness like a Man, great job team,

    • Junior’s bike IS art. You could ride it but who would want to? It’s a showpiece. A beautiful showpiece but not a cruiser.

      Jesse’s Bike was a beautiful chopper. That polished stainless steel frame is outrageous. That bike shows fantastic craftsmanship and brilliant execution. This bike could be proudly ridden. It doesn’t look like it would be real comfortable for a long ride but you’ld sure look great driven it.

      Senior’s machine shows great engineering and execution. It’s the fanciest snowmobile I’ve ever seen. If you could aim the flame throwers down they could clear the snow and ice from infront of it. The obvious question is why did Senior not participate in the motorcycle building contest? The only thing I can think of is that he may have consulted an “image expert” to see how he should deal with this challenge. My guess is that OCC had nothing to gain by building an awesome motorcycle. They built an awesome Caddy bike but it was judged by personality rather than the real merits of the bike. I’m not saying Jr. shouldn’t have won. I’m saying that the slaughter that occured did not reflect the design and execution of OCC’s Caddy bike. It’s my guess that the only way OCC could win was not to play.

      If the rules for judging the bikes had been ridability, I think Jesse would have won. But there were no rules so creativity ruled the day and without OCC entering a motorcycle there were only two bikes to judge.

      Any you look at it, Those are three talented awesome bike builders.

  9. everyone is saying that jr.s bike isnt one you can ride. how many show cars that we would all love to own are never driven or rarely driven because of how awesome and expensive they are? who said that this build off was about a bike you could ride to work everyday? it was a competition on building the most awesome bike. if it was a contest for building the best daily rider then im sure jr. would have built a different bike. honestly for a rider, i would have choosen jj’s bike, but for a show stopper and a show bike…jr. wins hands down.

  10. PJD for me is the real chopper designer he has a lot of talent because he builds bike’s by incorporating all the things for a theme bike. While Jesse’s bikes it’s all the same even though he can build it by his own hands but not everything. With OCC no talent in designing bikes the title is chopper build off then they built a ride for Batman no question OCC will lose the challenge because it’s not a bike.

    PJD is outsourcing the build but it is still PJD’s design they thought of still make sense, but when you say Jesse’s bike was all built by him you make me laugh he still needs fabricators and a good mechanic and some specialty for design so it will not be always the same you can not even turn the wheels for this build. For OCC pls think first before building anything my suggestion for the boss Sr. to have a meeting with all of there employee before Jason makes a design that kid can draw but no creativity for any challenge. And pls read the challenge title okay kid???

  11. Jr kicked ass and ignored the trash talk, but NOW , I need to see Jr. vs. Kory Ness, since both of these over-advantaged children of great bike builders have all the resources in the world to build the absolute best bikes. Discovery Channel, make it happen. ICE FLiCYCLE Gas Powered Bicycle.

  12. Details details that is PJD not like Jesse its always mocking the competition because he could not compete with the other. If OCC just build a bike they would have won over you…. Jess is a joke!!! OCC think over what you build with this challenge…I could suggest that OCC and PJD build a bike for the Manny Paquiao I am from the Philippines next year do a collaboration with Jesse James as a builder for the frame as you know he told us he did it by him self for sure. then I would like Rick and Vinnie to do all the craftmanship and JR with Jason Poole with an awesome design Sr just be the boss hahahaha…..

    Let them make everything just sit down and watch get busy with advertising, and not telling them what time they come in for work and how much time do they have to take they are workers they need time for them self also even at work work work!!! no need to shout! at them for them to work, why you self can;t build one nice bike? you told us you build a lot, a lo9t’s of time but what you holding always is the wellding gun??? or screwing some nothing???? be helpfull man and trust or give a comment that your kids did a great job you can tell it to other people that they did a great job but for your son no comment always even though they did????

    Being a parent is a great deal but when you can be a good parent tell them they have a good job, like now PJD is smoking you with all the build’s your loosing it man, be gratefull with your children they still love you….. even though you are selling them as an ungratefull children.

    PJD ls the winner because they are……..no contest!!!!!!!!!!!

  13. To all you yuppie biker possers that ride your show room bike with radios, chrome & 500 lights w neon. You try riding Jrs bike the tell me how awesome it is, for those that say Jessie is a douche try lookin @ yourself first. I can bet you have f**ked up in your life, you people dont know what real talent is. Jessie made 90-95 of that bike from scratch he didnt have someone build his front end, the tins or frame. Plus his bike holds more than a gallon of gas, Jrs. bike is like a boat that doesnt float, you cant ride it. You are the people that probably love those tattoo shows, since im a professional tattoo artist i can tell you thats not real life in a tattoo shop. America is full of retards. By the way my bike is a 1978 shovelhead, 93 cubic inch. Its a suicide shift w no front brake, ridgid frame w 14 inch gimp hangers. Oh & yes myeself & a buddy did most of the work on it & we can fix it when it breaks down sometimes on the side of the road. Junior would call for a trailer.

    • Ummm, nobody care dude! LMAO! Junior Rocks! Can I get an AMEN?

    • Yes I agree with you that Jessie does have real bike builder skills. He likes bare bones kinda bikes. But u have to admit that even though Jr may not have built everything himself that Bike was a show stopper. Over the top detail. Much like Jessie did in the past with his copper bike.. Senior not even going there. So pop out your copy of wild hogs and lets all just ride and agree the the best most detailed bike Won..

  14. I have watched American Chopper with my wife since the Pilot episode (yes my lovely wife suffers through it for me) and we have agreed for years and well before the spilt that should Paulie Jr. ever leave OCC and start his own company that he would put Paul Sr. in the poor house. Let’s look at some things here…every great creation from OCC was a PJD (i.e. Fire Bike, Statue of Liberty Bike, Miller Welding Bike, Web bikes, Lincoln Bike, etc..) and the list goes on and on. Now, to be fair let’s list Seniors accomplisments over the same period of time… (i.e. POW-MIA bike, David Mann Bike (Jr. Helped), Santa 3-wheel catastrophe). I think this clearly says enough. I think I agree very much with Junior’s quote upon his exit from OCC. “That’s a pretty nice house your living in up there from what I’ve done!” Granted, he may arrive 10 minutes late for work, he might take 30 extra minutes at lunch, and he may leave 15 minutes early, that being said, Senior was it worth loosing your soon and obviously your #1 meal ticket? Let’s face it, Rick IS going to go to PJD! We all know that it is just a matter of time, and when he does Senior will have nothing left. Senior has snaggle toothed Jason that couldn’t build a chinese bike from Kmart that included the instructions and toolkit, but he could draw it well. Then Mike, pretty good mechanic/assembler, but no designer. The dips*** that runs the machine shop, I don’t even know what to say about this geeky weasel. It’s sad really.. I did notice last night when Paul Jr. and Paul Sr. hugged that Sr. whispered something in his ear. Rumor has it he said “Paulie, can I borrow a couple grand? I spent the shop payment on a futuristic snowmobile”"…LMAO!

  15. This wrestlemania of bike building did exactly what the discovery channel hoped it would … boost ratings. That being said I would like to see jr. Build something original and ridable instead of his usual copycat technique.

    • Yup! You hit that nail square on the head.

  16. Jr is the bests

  17. JR’s bike should be taken right to the smithsonian. It’s the most beautiful bike I’ve ever laid eyes on. Stunning.

  18. Jr’s. bike is stunning,and a piece of Art.

  19. Yea Jr won but what i wont to know is can he build a bike just one time that does not involve a theme?? Jr is a great designer i’m not knocking it but just one time build a bike without a theme an it’ll proly be bad a@#. Sr is the same but he did build a bike that had no theme but it was yrs ago an it looked good… An the people haten on Jessie sayin he didnt build the bike him self BULL SH%# he clearly said he’s building everything him self other than the tins,motor an trans. Personally I like an dislike Jrs bike The wheels dont match it at all.. Jessie’s bike is a REAL BIKE that you can ride an not stop every 10 miles to fill up. Jesse should of taken it. I mean come on how many bikes do you see that have a SS frame?? I feel it was a popularity contest thats why Jr took it but Jessie will ALWAYS be the king of ol school choppers!!!! And this has nothing to do with this but Mickey needs to STOP crying. Sr never did anything to him other than not really including him into the buisness by taken him on trips Mickey didn’t do anything anyway.. So grow up Mickey stop running to Jr an asking him what to do..

    • You don’t have a clue about anything.. Jesse is not the king of old school, and anyone can build a ride-able chopper, that’s why he does themes because it actually takes creativity.

  20. Dude, you got mad skill. I respect your vision. Stay true.

  21. Jesse James is a big mouth whiner. I would have loved to see Vinnie or Jr. beat the piss out of him. Junior made the best bike by far and that idiot Jesse James had to eat crow because he has zero creativity and could only do something every builder in the country does.
