American Chopper Build Off

Sr, on the other hand, he should've stuck to the true choppers he had before the show. I know he just after the money but he, himself, couldn't produce the things coming out of his shop.

I am sure there are more but off the top of my head both the Black Widow and Anti-Venom were both choppers and much more creative than Jesse's bike. Jesse said his was a rider but the rider would have had back probems after 10 miles on that bike. No suspension and not a single layer of padding on the seat.
Senior copped out because he knew he didn't stand a chance.

I agree about Sr. - he knew right off the bat that they couldn't hold a candle next to the other two. In fact, if you watched the first episode where they built em', Sr. had zero participation in the build. Jr. is a design genius, and Jesse is a craftsman in it's finest form - I felt the show was really about those two.

I love watching the show as it's nice to see creativity get expressed into mechanical form. But OCC lost it's edge when they started designing behind a computer.
