Don't know if anyone else watch or noticed last night but on Discovery (yes I watch dicovery) on the Biker Build Off, Cory Ness was doing some advertising. While building his sweet "Fueling W3" powered winning bike, he has on a Victory shirt! I bet he was asked to wear it. To bad they didn't have a vic promo during one of the breaks.

I watched this as well. He also wore a Baker Transmission and Ness shirts as well. I don't think it was anything more than "I need to wear a black t-shirt to work on this bike, so I'll grab what's in my top drawer" kind of thing.

I did like what Cory built, although I would have prefered a Vic powered bike. He has some pretty creative ideas working the metal. I gues the nut doesn't fall far from the tree in his case...

I do not normally watch those chopper shows but saw that engine while channel surfing and stopped to watch what was going to happen with it. Cory kicked but in looks and use. The other fellow had to stop for gas over 25 times while getting there. Now that would be fun.

Did notice the shirt, I bet he does think about what he is wearing when the camera is rolling. Kind of like the NASCAR winner remembering each and every one of his sponsors when talking at the end of a race. Going so far as to look the car over to make sure he does not forget one of the stickers. :-)

Thanks for those pictures. Now that is one chopper I would ride as it would really draw a crowd because of the engine.

Did you see Cory lift the W3 engine and carry it over to the table? I would think that 3 cylinders should make that as heavy as a Victory engine. Even though it has no tranny that has got to be heavy!!!!. I cannot lift and carry a Victory engine like that. Lee

Yes I saw that, but he used his whole body. He did it a couple of times. I have not tried to lift a Victory engine so can't tell.
