Did anyone watch "chopper wars" last thursday?

Did anyone see this last thursday night? It was a warbird themed buildoff, the bike pictured is an homage to the "cripes a mighty" P-51, and the other was a Japanese Zero theme. Gotta love this bike:

The P51 bike was probably one of the best of the build off bikes ever! So muich history was really captured in it's design. Guarantee you that every pilot out there would be honored to take that bike for a spin. And using that old Knuckle was brilliance, sucked to start, but brilliance non the least.
The zero was nice but never stood a chance!

i cant see the nose of the plane but i asume it had a barber poll on it? that looks a bit funny on the bike but other than that the bike is stunning

The P-51 in the background is not "Cripes a Mighty", here is a replica of the original plane.

And the other side of the bike.
