While I don't really care for that style of bike, I thought it was interesting. Right up to the point when I took a look at the front end. It looks like they forgot to finish cutting it out. It's too blocky for the rest of the bike.
Its blocky to hold up. you cant ride with the front end on the 9/11 bike for long. one pothole and its scrap. I thought it was cool they made it a springer.

JJ kind of explained his decision when he said if you draw a silhouette around every bike he built and stacked them on top of each other there isn't much difference, so he wanted to go another direction. I don't like the style but I see why he went that way. Funny that Sr. also went that direction.
I think there should be a class action lawsuit by all the people that hurt their bottom jaw when 2nd place was announced.
Lord knows why JJ and Senior built bikes instead of choppers...smh. And the refurbished bike builder Gas monkey brought second.
I just started a new thread about the AMD World Bike building Championship. Take a quick look at this year's entries. It appears that the current poopular trend among the best in the world, is "Cafe Racers", "Sport Bikes", and old school "Board Track" racer style. Seems like maybe JJ, Sr, and the Monkeys, decided to follow the current trend this time around.

Apparently, Jason must have a Rasputin-like effect on Senior, who continues to cherish the designs produced by someone with an extremely poor record of success. Pohl was a video game animator/artist prior to Senior making what has proven to be his worst decision ever, hiring that "real life industrial designer". Senior, cut your losses and fire the s.o.b.

Problem over at Senior camp is it is a One's an Zero's Geek fest when it comes to design. Not so much into visual style an design as much,they make a average looking bike in shape, slap on cnc'ed or flow-jetted horns or antlers, or a drive cover, an air cleaner, an a adequate paint job( Well this time was not "Real" paint.) but back to the point, when you get Senior doing a bike, it looks like a fairly average old school, because Senior just doesn't put his heart into the bikes anymore, for him now it's more business than pleasure.
Has anyone ever even seen Jason Pohl ride any type of motorcycle, or conveyance with two wheels which didn't have a thumb-operated bell, streamers mounted inside the hand grips, and a pink basket mounted to the handlebars??
I liked OCC's bike while they were fabricating it. As each part was fabricated and assembled, I was pretty impressed. The problems started when they had the whole thing assembled. It just looked odd, and definitely not what I was expecting. But it became ridiculous when Senior climbed on it. It looked like a futuristic mini-bike. You could see how squirrely the front end was as he rode it (he seemed to constantly adjust the trajectory).
Honestly, I put aside my distaste for the old man and gave the bike a chance. The other thing was that Senior didn't even bother to APPEAR as though he worked on the bike. Epic fail, I believe that's the term they use nowadays. (Whippersnappers.)

Yep I was pretty much the same. I really like the middle of the bike and the rear is OK but that front end is horrible. I'm not fused by Sr doing nothing I just don't understand why Sr doesn't get Rick and others to help Jason with designing the bikes.

Your just not a bike shop till you start selling Xmas supplies and party decorations.
Now if they wanted to bring a sport bike it would've needed to look more like this to stand a chance against PJD's curves.
