Biker Build-Off

[Don Vito Corleone]

I'm watching BBO on Discovery, and I've seen most of the episodes.

How the hell can anyone ever beat Matt Hotch of Hot Match Cycles? His bikes always seem to be several steps ahead of everyone else's, in terms of design and fabrication. That guy is a genius . . .

I think the second most impressive builder is probably Scotty's Choppers (the Australian builder), though I also like the simple bikes built by Exile.

Ah I love that show. Is that a new episode that they're playing?

What's it with the Discovery Channel and bike building shows?

Ratings, I guess . . . They still beat the hell out of home-improvement shows for my money.

I almost tear up watching the memorial episdode to indian larry when he fell off the rat fink bike he built for the earlier episode

The bike he built for the newer episode that turned into a memorial was amazing. The chain fram....blows my mind. I want to do something similar if I ever build a bike. Big 124 CI s&s engine chain frame, oh god.....
