Did anyone else see the Build - off with Mezger and LarryLinkogle? They took a KX250 and CR250 and turned them into the sickest freestyle bikes you have ever seen! :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

Check it out!

Metzger's was cool.  Linkogle's was kinda gay.  He's an idiot.

Metz definately has an artistic eye.  That show gave an idea or two for Wasabi's next re-build. :mrgreen:

Metz was the man, he is an artist...  both literally and figuratively....  Linkogle was an idiot.  He was playing up to the under 12 crowd...  He sounded like he's has too many crashed without a helmet.  I think he needs to grow up a bit.

Looks like we have another "Brother in Bling" in the making!  Definately looking forward to the progress of your bike alan.

Did anyone notice when MM was doing the tricks at the contest if he was on the bike he made, or the bike he made had spokes when he was jumping?  Wondering if the billet wheels made him nervous because of weight, strength, spinning mass or the like.  I like the pimped frame color though.  Might have to do something similiar to my KX5 when the time comes for the Bling Job.  Have some other fabrication mods to do before then.

The only picture I can find of Metzger's bike.  Discovery must have some serious rights to the pictures for awhile.  Sly
