After the huge success of the first 11 episodes, Build or Bust is back for season 2 on Motors TV.

Amateur motorbike enthusiasts from across the USA again visit the slightly eccentric Russell Mitchell’s Exile Cycles, a bike manufacturer which produces around 20 top-of-the-range ‘choppers’ each year, sometimes selling for as much as $100,000, to have a go at manufacturing their own ‘chopper’.

The challenge for each competitor sounds simple, to design and build their own motorbike in 30 days, but things rarely run smoothly!

As well as the finished product having to meet the exacting standards of Mitchell, renowned as the bad-boy of the motorcycle industry, the challengers have to deal with the Exile Cycles staff, who aren’t always helpful and are very rarely patient when a contender makes an inevitable blunder.

Nevertheless, if your bike gets Mitchell’s seal-of-approval, you can ride off into the sunset on a brand new chopper. If it doesn’t, then you’re leaving on foot!

Build or Bust, Season 2 – Every Wednesday at 7.05pm from 13 January
