Jesse James.....

[Damn True]

Bullock - hot. Ive met her in person.
Porn chick - uh....no thanks, too much filth for my blood
James - kook

Personally I can't stand the way the guy talks. He sounds like "whiney little weasel" mixed with "surfer boy".

And the only reason that guy gets props is because he sought the limelight. I'll bet you there are hundreds of fabrication guys out there that could smoke his ass but you've never heard of them because they're not attention seekers. OCC was the same way....that Mikey was the one that contacted Discovery Channel pitching an idea for a show. All those guys are are glorified cake decorators. Jesse? He's just a product now. All them stupid West Coast Choppers shirts and hats that I see people wearing (who don't even own one of his bikes, mind you) and all the bumper and window stickers...that's how he makes his money.

Sandra Bullock...aaahhh....she's alright. I guess I wouldn't kick her out of bed for eating Thai food. But she's loaded and wanted him...I guess I can't blame him for hooking up with her. But he's had nicer tail than that.

Yeh, Jesse is the bomb! Anyone here trust him to raise your kid??? lol

Personally I like the guy. I don't pay attention to his personal issues or what he campaigns for. Everyone has their own agendas, famous or not. To me his work is remarkable. Sure there are others out there that are not in the spotlight and are better, but once again, its what you want to make of yourself. He does give credit where credit is do I think. He really looks up to those old timers and tries to gain as much as he can from them when he works with them. At least it seems that way on his shows. I would give my n***s to work with him and some of the other pioneers (Ron Covell, Craig Naff) just to gain some knowledge and insight.
Some disagree with the way he makes his money but come on, if someone told any of us that we could makes millions off of say a t-shirt with a pic of our car and a pro-touring logo, no one would try it? Its all about trying to make money.
Now as for his wives, I'll take the girl next door (Bullock) any day over the porn star. Who needs that headache? Ok some of you want it, not myself. Besides, most girls next door are that dirty little porn star when the lights go out. You can give me Bullock anyday.

Almost everything I read or see on TV regarding celebs and "Hollywood" I take with a grain of salt. Most of it is a a giant PR machine..
Having said that Jesse is a huge talent and anyone that has
"PAY UP SUCKA" tatooed on the palm of their hand can't be all that bad

i agree with him in a way.. every kid i have ever met whos daddy worked his ass off is a dumbass they have the world by the balls and can do watever they want and instead of putting in the efort and hardwork to properly become successful themselves there just like my daddy is rich and im going to be to someday so f_ _ _ you. this personaly peeves me because im someone who has had to work a manual labor job in winter and summer in maine outdoors all the time since i was thirteen i have gone without heat and hotwater in the middle of winter with nothing but a woodstove in a 2 floor house and it just really burns me to see these kids. and i think thats what he was trying to get across he worked hard for it and hes doing his best to teach his kids to value the right things like he did and not be a little sob who takes things for granted

I go to the local roundy-round track here in SoCal (Irwindale Speedway) most Saturday nights. They run a figure 8 program, and Jesse James has a figure 8 car that he enters in the races. I don't know if he's fearless, stupid, or just doesn't give a damn, he's torn up that car many times wrecking into the other cars in the turns and in the X. He's got money to burn so he can afford the damage, he'll let his crew haul off his wrecked car back to the shop while he takes off for a night of partying in his Bentley Continental GT. The other drivers don't have those deep pockets however. The kids do love him, and you'll see a lot more people in the stands when they run figure 8. You'll see Jesse James name on the marquee sign for the track the nights they run figure 8 too. He does a good job of driving I'll admit, and has had some podium finishes. But even then he can't shake his bad-boy persona, he'll say stupid things about not caring about winning, and with all those kids looking at him he'll pose for pictures for the track photographer holding the trophy upside down and giving the finger. Not really the kind of person I'd want my kids (if I had any) to emulate. The best thing I can say is his figure 8 car has these 180 degree headers that sound absolutely wicked at full throttle. They really howl.

Damn, I was hoping this topic was about someone cool like Jesse James Dupree, not that dope.

[steemin]

You know I do not know why we expect guys that grow up as thugs
(i.e. many pro Basketball players) to be great role models themselves..
What do you expect?
(there are some obvious exceptions)

Do you think once they get money and fame that they are going to become more cultured and refined? It is a sad fact that many young people do look up to these guys. Thank goodness I understand that I need to be my kids role model!

He does good work, no doubt about it. But he comes off as a d***head himself IMO. I don't think he has more talent than a Chip Foose or a Troy Trepanier or a Mark Stielow (granted somewhat an apples and oranges comparison) but I doubt you would ever see any of these three acting like James. So as stated before it is obvioulsly brilliant marketing that has made him what he is today. I get a kick out of all of the primered late 80's jap sedans that have a West Coast Chopper sticker on the back window. $600car, and you have a $60,000 bike right?

You don't think he has more talent than Troy or Chip Foose?...He's not in the same universe with those two..and I think he's got talent..but nothing close to those two guys..did you see the bike Chip had at SEMA? I think they're building a limited number of them...real cool scooter..

I guess I should have made my point a little stronger. I agree Foose and Troy are miles above Jesse James in talent and vision. Have you got any pics of the Foose bike? I would love to see a comparison!

[rocketman]

Jesse James is hands down one of the greatest motorcycle builders around.Jesse started the whole custom bike deal,none of these bike show's would be around if not for Jesse.

Now you can't compare Foose,Troy and Jesse.each is great at what they do,Foose and Troy dont build bike's.I dont think Troy or Foose could hang with Jesse building a bike

[Foudie]

I gotta disagree Rocketman. Hugh King started the whole bike reality show deal (producer of Motorcycle Mania, Biker Buildoff etc.) I watch that biker build off show sometimes and I see lots of builders on there that build a heck of alot nicer bike than WCC. IMO he is a great fabricator but much of his success lies in marketing and being in the right place at the right time.

I am not trying to start a pissing match here, I hear what you are saying about Jesse James. Sure, he was the first guy to be featured on the big bike reality shows. It all stemmed from that camel bike competition. The guy is talented, but my point is that timing and a clever marketing strategy made him stand out in a group of very talented craftsmen. Which to me is a shame that he happened to be in that place at that time because, at least for my own enjoyment, I would much rather watch someone that I can respect as an individual as well as his work. Such as a Foose, or Trepanier.

Ding, ding, ding!

Right answer.

they brought jesse into a bike show here in fayetteville ark about 3 years ago . he was a dickhead ! major dickhead ! one of the sponsors that he was " selling out " to was a tool company that rented a top floor of a restraunt, jesse wanted to go out on the deck and look over the street , but he demanded that we clear the outside deck for him only ! this deck is a 50ft x15ft it had only 10 pepole on it . we did not clear the deck ,and he finally came out on it with us and the 10 pepole .
then he was walking back out side when a kid about 8 yrs old wanted his autograph he grabed the had and signed it ,then said " get out of here kid " in a real loud way . now i understand that he probally gets tired of signing autographs but this was a kid that didnot understand and was yelled at by a " tv" star ?

plus i was realllllllllllllllly pissed off when this dumbass crushed a 48 anglia .
