Great Bike Build Off

[cotty]

Watched this on Discovery last night and it is facinating seeing these guys making fantastic custom bikes from scratch using old style tools and lost arts like the English Wheel, hammers and dollies.

If you have not seen it, two bike builders have to build a bike each within a set time, they then have to ride 300 odd miles to a bike even where the public vote which bije they like the most.

If you have not seen it give it a go

I think theyve only done three episodes - one with a red bike with flames down the tank, one with a blue and chrome bike and one with an old scary looking dude. All three times they used the bloke from Choppers Inc as the opposition. Great programme, thoroughly enjoyed it!

must be a new one as one of the bikes was red an silver (low and sleek) and the other one (trad chopper) was gold mealflake with a rat fink logo on the petrol tank
