I'm not taking anything away from their creativity or skills bending metal. Like I said, I still watch the shows.

However.........that being said, I find it hard to believe that the choppers are at all comfortable or handle for beans.

Personally out of all the custom builders I prefer (aesthetically speaking) the Germanic chunky tire'd bikes that maintain some of the stock geometry. Exile bikes are cool looking (to me) but I bet they handle like a bulldozer.

Hey look.......it's a bulldozer.

What could be wrong with that?

I like most of the Exile bikes.
Someone built a bike using a Radial Aircraft Engine, but I can't find a photo, or remember who built it. I believe there were two built, by different people at different times. Anyone know the answer to this?

Who cares if it's pre-fabbed, hand-bent, or bought of the shelf parts?
Yes..to some degree they are pieces of art. The tuttels are mostly parts assemblers. Jesse makes his own parts. If your going to call yourself a "Bike Builder", then build the bike from your own designs. This includes building an engine..not buying a crate motor..and fabricate your own pieces..Bdog
