Pulling ideas out of your ass is most of the fun!

But yeah, there are some continuity problems there...

The outcome of the caddy bike build vote was Awesome!!

I liked the gears of war 3 bike for what it was meant to be. Looked at at gaming / comic convention. It looks like a crazy, futuristic, apocalyptic, zombie killing machine and doesn't look like a rider at all, but it was not inded to be.

The pic of Jr riding it is priceless though!!!

Anybody old enough to remember a Green Machine?? Looks like he's riding one......

Yeah I don't even watch the show anymore it is totally stupid. Some of their bikes are ok but most are dumb and the drama is what really killed it for me all seems so staged. If I want to watch a chopper show I'll watch biker build off still has some drama sometimes but the bikes look way better.

They still exist, although slightly different now:

He's like a Kardashian. He can always make money off of his family now

Oh yeah! That would give you that old "big wheel" feel but with 100+ Horsies




Right on TexasSP I might need to see how this one compares to the old one on a downhill, spinout test!

I think the only other thing about the steering besides the ghey riding position is the fact that yyou have to turn it opposite to steer it. They couldnt just cross the cables to make it work right? Overall the trike is awesome though. And Nubby by far is one of the best painters I have ever seen. Wish they followed his work more.

[GREEDY GENIUS]

I think it looks gay!

I agree and I've never really cared for the "Theme Bike" concept. Most of them look like carnival rides to me. I used to like the show, and I do respect their fabrication skills, but I'd never want a "Theme Bike" from them.

You guys gotta remember these bikes are 100% show, no one is gonna roll up to Wal-Mart on that trike.

I too think the rider position kills the bike, they should have put the bars on the triple trees where they belong and make the rider lay on the tank. Then it would be better.

Oh man...The Green Machine! I used to have one of those as a kid! What great times, it was definitely a chopper among Big Wheels. I ruled the neighborhood with that thing!

If you watch closely, the handlebars turn opposite of how they are supposed to. I.e.- left is right and right is left. It's lame and dangerous. Good thing it will probably never see the street

[STANG KILLA SS]

im not following you. its a pull system like we use on our airplane rudders.

when you pull the left side of the steering wheel/handlebars towards you, it pulls the left cable, pulling the left side of the triple tree, making the front wheel turn left, and the bike turns left

[Blazefighter]

I may have to watch it again, discovery shows enough reruns. I could have sworn I saw it that way. There is a series of linkages from the bars before they ever touch the cables. If I'm wrong, my bad.

[Blazefighter]

Watched a video on YouTube, my bad it is correct. It just looks weird with that handlebar setup.
