I didn't see the show unfortantley but there are some very very talented fabricators on there.

The aussies are huge customers of ours.

One of our good customers was on a couple weeks ago using on our collectors and wearign a shirt woohoo! free advertising!

The custom bike world is where the talent is at these days

I thought the bike was pretty sweet. All hand molded aluminum

Man makes wooden jigs and hand molds/hammers each piece, that takes talent. I thought all the bikes were badass.

right on.not all the bikes fit my tastes,but EVERY one of them has a lot of talent and great work put into them.
was it the Aussie guy who said "I'M a bike builder,most of the Americans are bike assemblers"

nice to see people create bikes as opposed to ordering a bunch of parts from a catalog,throwing on a custom paint job,and calling the bike "custom" and claiming to build it.

LOL that's what I was thinking

I didn't really like teh American bike all that much, just not my style I guess. The tank shape has been done before (Billy Lane??), so why not go with something original or traditional?

The Aussie bike was damn nice, I really like how he shaped the Al. and how it came out to perfect when he polished it!! I can't imagine how many hours he spent at the polishing wheel

I loved the British bike too. That was very much my style. Minimalistic and sleek, with that old school look. . . . . . damn nice!

That show was like 3 hrs long!

I liked all the bikes but I guess the usa bike looked the most stunning so of course it was going to win in that show.

The aussie guy was amazing to be able to have that kind of buisness in the outback and have to rely on shipments from around the world.

Discovery channel is awesome I watch it more than Speed now a days.

I didn't end up watching to the end cause I was tired and went to bed, but did they tell everyone where each bike came from? If so no wonder the good 'ol boys voted for the US bike

I guess I don't like that over-the-top, weld on a bunch of crap and paint it orange, look.
