jesse james - history of the chopper part 1

[ardoinjc]

Jesse said he was just a "glorified welder" ! I say he is no such thing. Look at that shitty looking weld @ 1:38. Really ? And he calls himself a welder ?  Go be a pipe welder for a few years and pass some x-ray tests then call yourself a welder. That bubblegum looking shit would get you laughed at in most circles. Notice all the grinding he does in this video ? He can't use a torch either !

[AMG43ramirez]

jesse james is a BEAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[doubletapm4]

5:20 looks like he supports the hells angels......

[Th3Art0fRu1n]

Very cool.

If hes used to going from scratch though he should make his own frame with similar features. He could just give it his own twist to fit his ideas. Don't take an existing frame and chop it, just make your own imo

[bigqtech]

***what is the grinning/smiling boy sticker on jesse's green flames welding helmet? i think i saw it on mtv a long time ago? any help?

[dustinh70]

@bigqtech That's Alfred.E.Neuman of MAD Magazine

[weathered79]

the curves on the bike are way better than kat von d's you can get std from eating her pussy

[1custom1234]

I'm thinkin he cut that nice frame in the rear because he's taller than the original builder? Maybe it fits him better now.

[8314425157]

Nebula.........Fucking rocks,,,,,,,,,,

[bernhardtsen74]

wasnt one of the dogs killed by the other dog?

I remember watching buildoff season 1 I think where hes sad one day because of the death!!!!!!

[CapnNemesis]

the frame reminds me of those candy peeps

[doubletapm4]

for an og 60s bike i think he did a good job with what he was building off of!!!! and i do the sae thing to my pits lol there little tanks!

[NAMTRIP]

Dam,his welds look like hammered on dog shit,I need to teach Jesse how to Tig weld,I use to build aluminum fuel cells for inside passenger Jet airplane wings,

It was so strict,there was a piss test before work every monday morning,I was the best in the shop.

[mramoslo88]

whats the name of the first song?

[justfine77777]

Golddigger is alright, it is just a huge departure from what Jesse usually does.

[mari66101]

Yeah!!! finally found this documentary....love Jesse and his bikes.

[BullsEyeRocker]

i love his bikes......just not this one yuk!!!

[tdsviper]

Jesse is a awsome bike builder. I like the aggresive bikes he makes.

But in this build, i think he's wrong.

In the beginning he talks about the sweet lines of the frame and how the original builder made a beautiful frame.

Then he chops it up ????

To make it fit his vision. I think he should have left it alone and worked with it, as is.

Viper

[reverseperstalsis]

i agree, it would of been like a mysterious fame with a jessie james' essence.

Just awesome.

[curtmastor]

Thats becuase hes not an artist just a fantastic fabricater and builder. conversley there are alot of guys who are ok at building but have a gift for vision. Seeing the bike around the frame geometry. So your better off just perfecting your fabrication and taking chances and learning from failures like in this instance. Eventually if your hot shit at your own style and people want it your rich enough to fuck around with time and parts to experiment like this.

[elementkid482]

@tdsviper he really didnt chop it up that much it was more of an extension because he wanted to keep the lines of the frame but make it longer

[bradlee101]

@tdsviper i think he made it longer so its ridable with a half deacent engine for a implant instead of having to baby it all the time to get it to go.

[BikerRussell]

@tdsviper I could not agree more. Its was extremely sad to see that old chop frame be chopped.

[excessiveforce03]

@tdsviper all he did was make it a few inches longer. The lines are pretty much the same as they were when he started.

[ravagex9]

@tdsviper  I think he said he only made it a few inches longer. Jesse is a big dude, the guy who originally built it may have been smaller. I think he only modified it to accommodate his size.

[InstinctTOsurvive]

@tdsviper its the same frame though, he just wanted it longer.. I get what youre saying, I think it diesnt change it much personally

[Nachspeil]

First song anyone?

Jesse goes hard all the time. its nuts.

[billpeterson5150]

I think Jesse's gonna win the Celebrity Apprentice-he's clearly the most talented and has the best leadership skills-clearly

[jessejamesrimjobs]

Thanks for uploading this. I can't get enough of Jesse James, the rim job legend.

[nobodylisten2techno]

does anybody know the name of the song around 4:00 minutes??

[65scotto]

The band is Nebula..ahhh..the title escapes me at the moment...

[servoboogie]

he doesn't consider himself an artist??? wow...talk about one humble dude.

[sparizzla]

at 5:00 it shows where he cut a piece out of that tube and welded in a piece - i dont like that - looks weak as fuck - seen that sorta thing done before on occ - Jessie is the man tho hes a fucking genius - cool bikes

[HiTide522]

it's clearing the motor dude. relax

[TheGroundBeef]

Jesse is my hero. hes such a cool dude and has a great attitude... he loves what he does and dosent give a damn what people think.

[eatsandsleeps]

It kind of reminds me of mountain bikes. A lot of the old d.i.y. bikes like a Cunningham or a Salsa have a cool vibe to them and even new builders like Curt Inglis of RetroTech makes some bad ass bikes. Then big companies got involved. Then the became a commodity and the yuppie jerk faces came in.

Fortunately most of the posers sold their bikes after their first crash. But there's always a new crop. Keep it real, ride steel.

[juggalotus20]

okay yuppies did you hear him it came from a do it yourself era not buy it yourself era this is what seperates the men from the boys hard work and detication

[watanabehefuml]

i'd rather fuck lotsa women and let my slave build the bike!

[juggalotus20]

aw thats horrible why???

[watanabehefuml]

why is it horrible to fuck lotsa beatiful women? ok some are fat as a blimp but its still more fun than welding. Leave the welding to ma slave!

[jaimsC]

Building the bike is one of the only true way to appreciate it properly. whats wrong with abit welding here and there? then do some fucking later??

[watanabehefuml]

i can't weld but sure can fuck.

[imprtracer2000]

for me doing my own work is enjoyable,  nothing like the satisfaction of seeing your finished product.

[minitucker87]

Hell yea i got all his shit, except for this...but i will get it

[lunker73]

Double J is the shit'' this is why he is the best
