maybe sandra was an impossible c*nt and frigid b*tch? seriously no one knows the mans personal business...

 

Yeah, things are slow right now. I always liked the stuff Russ Mitchell was doing at Exile, but last I saw, his bread & butter now was "hard parts for softails", bolt on stuff. Can't blame him if it pays the bills and keeps the doors open, tho.

But yeah, it's all cyclical.

 

jesse james is a a hole dragged his kids and wife thru mud, morals he has none as far as her being a kunt than leave and file divorce

 

Mediocre custom bikes....... Damn dude, Jesse made damn near everything on his bikes by hand.... yet they're mediocre. I want to see what you consider "custom". I hope to hell you don't mention Arlen Ness as that guy's bikes are down right hideous.

 

That's probably true. The one thing I did hear about it, was that she left to go to Florida to make her latest movie...was gone for 9 months, and expected him to be Mr. Mom, and be domesticated.

She married a bad boy....what did she expect?

Anhow I don't really care. I just hope he's doing okay. The guy is a top notch fabricator.

I'm sure he's happier having cameras off of him now.

Atleast now he cant build those ugly *** bikes he was doing anymore. Rat rods are hard to fudge up hahahahahaha

 

You don't even have to know who he is/was. All you have to do is look at his welds and know what a good weld looks like and what a ridiculously amazing weld looks like. Dude could weld. I would not mind getting my hands on a 140 CFL frame!

 

Awesome fabricator. His personal life is "personal".

 

Although some of his bikes were cutting edge. He sold plain choppers for up around $45,000 to $60,000. You could get the same chopper from another builder with better paint and features for a lot less. In the photo below is a bike he helped create (I was told he helped, however this is hear say), and this is one of those bikes that is truly a work of art by the man and I understand a high price on it.. He is a good fabricator, no doubt there. And he can weld with the best of them. However I have seen the price on his regular joe custom bikes and they are way over priced.

 

Jesse James (and all of the other big name chopper guys) cashed in on his Discovery fame. Supply and demand, every one of us would have done the same thing if it was possible. He made something that you buy with 'expendable' money and asked top dollar for it. WCC, Exile, Choppers, inc were around before the chopper phase and should be around after the chopper phase. I can't stand the OCC guys anymore but they're in the same boat. In the first few episodes they had fabb'ed and welded parts on their bikes and now they go to the shelves.

For you Jesse James haters: What do you think of Roland Sands and Corey Ness as fabricators? They were born into the business. They've never been the 'starving artist'. They walk into their shop and pull thousand dollar parts off of their shelves that daddy spent years making/perfecting. They have CAD machines and other machines that do a lot of work/thinking for them. To top it off they charge outrageous prices for their stuff.
