DESCRIPTION:
He is the owner of West Coast Choppers in Long Beach, California and a host of the Discovery Channel’s hit Monster Garage. Jesse James builds some of the most sought-after motorcycles in the world. Eric Hameister is a photographer specializing in automotive, motorcycle, and lifestyle photography.
Based out of his West Coast Choppers garage in a tough neighborhood of Long Beach, California, James has created one of the most famous and lucrative chopper boutiques on Earth, with an appropriately star-studded client list. But the fact remains that this book doesn’t say much about its supposed subject. Best known as the master builder on television’s popular "Monster Garage," James has cultivated a reputation as the enfant terrible of customized, hand-built choppers, couching his considerable mechanical and metallurgical skills in a hyper-masculine, chicks-guns-and-iron image. The real stars here are made out of rubber and steel, and pictures of the bikes (frequently pictured with scantily clad models
With one hundred and sixty pages of full-color photographs grouped into three sections covering his bikes, his shop, West Coast Choppers, and his lifestyle, I Am Jesse James will introduce the gritty, supertalented biker who makes no apologies for who he is and makes no compromises when it comes to the artistry of his bikes. He’s one of People magazine’s "Sexiest Men Alive." But, only now, in I Am Jesse James, will his legion of fans get an up-close look at the man and his machines. Like his famous relative, Jesse James has captured the imagination of the world. Tattooed and devilishly handsome, Jesse James is the kind of rebel that many teenage boys—and grown men—dream about being.. His bad- to-the-bones hand-built choppers with their trademark flames and Maltese cross logos are coveted by millions and ridden by wealthy motorcycle fanatics like Keanu Reeves and Shaquille O’Neal
"Custom Harley Davidson Eye Candy" according to Nicholas Gomez. Don't expect any lessons on how to build a custom Harley Davidson. This book is just pure eye candy. Considering that bike magazines are so expensive this book is worth buying for inspiration. As a 'coffee table book' (whatever that means!), it serves its purpose well, which is why I'm giving it 5 Stars.I'm not really into custom Harleys (As far as H-Ds are concerned I would prefer a Buell X1 Lightning or Sundance Performance Super XR1200) but I appreciate the effort, skill and craftsmanship that goes into e. More balls than bikes Jmon I was a bit disappointed in this book. I did like the bike photos that were shown not many. Lots of filler of Jesse and his gang posing with guns. What looks like porn stars on the bikes. I would rather just see the bikes man. I don't need to see pictures of Jesse playing tough guy holding a shotgun or burning money. Or his freaking dog dish with the WCC logo on it my god. It makes you wonder what he is trying to make up for. His bikes are cool. They need to show more of them. And the text is pretty much a j. The Master Fabricator Chris J Yozwiak I saw Jesse James had a book coming out so I ordered it. Upon receiving it I read it in about an hour. My reason for ordering this book was to find out more info about the man that is not written in every publication out there. What I found is there is about 15 + pages of written words and the other 130+ pages are photos. Granted these are great photos, but I have seen most of then on the West Coast Choppers and the Chopper Dogs web sites. Most of the text about Jesse James I have read before. However, there
