I’m 63 years old and have lived a crazy life, so far, with pinnacles of sucess, bottomless failures, euphoric highs and soul crushing lows. Still, if you were to ask me who I wanna be when I grow up, I’d probably say Jesse James. Dude has a glint in his eyes that indicates he knows something that mere mortals such as myself do not. Gotta be the chillest badass alive.
@@vividdreams8356 lol you’re such a loser you keep commenting & trying to change peoples opinions about him. don’t be mad cause you’re an ugly loser who can’t get women
@@chrishandsome4267 first off I dont try to change people's opinions about him its mine. Second I'm not to ugly I'm like a 6 or 7 about average nothing special tho. Third I have no problem getting women I have a beauty gf and baby. Last Idk if I'm a loser or not but sorry i talked bad about your crush didn't mean to offend you bro.
I've been wrenching since the 80's. People who use their hands and brains for a living can totally relate to Jesse's stories. I wish he would shift focus to cars, dudes got the vision and the scratch to blow everyone else out of the water.
I disagree I live in small town and theres people here that are just as good or even better then him hes a douche. Why you kissing his ass does it taste good or what
I was lucky enough to see and be part of a team that used some of Jesse's early fenders.I worked for a famous bike builder and Jesse was sending us his fenders to try. They were nice stuff!!
I don't care what anyone says, Jesse is one cool dude in my books. The abilities this man has is incredible. You just gotta remember, he's a professional fabricator/ blacksmith before he's a tv personality. I know many talented people that are exceptional in what they do, however they can't string together two words to make a sentence. Jesse got put into the spotlight when all he wanted to do was build bikes. I'm sure a lot of people wouldn't know how to act when all of a sudden your all over the TV and you can't leave the house without having people all over you. Personally I wouldn't want that kind of attention.
I didn't used to care for him until I realised he was just another flawed human being with an amazing talent that doesn't really care what others think. I like that about the guy.
Brian, many successful people are into what they do. Proud to be the best or at least the self realization that you can hold your own against anyone. Couple that with his eccentricities, he just comes off that way to some people. No one is perfect. I don’t think he’s a bad person
What a trip... this bike is like my FXR's brother. Even running a similar bar controls setup, but the black version. No switches and the same HHI clutch and brake controls.
I do not care about his personal life but I do admire how he got famous doing what he likes to do and 60% of the population in this country cannot achieve.
I remember back in 1996 My buddy was a otr trucker and brought a West Coast Choppers Catalog back from California... Kid's today have no idea what it was like ordering parts from catalogs and the nerve racking wait.
Jesse James is a fellow metal-botherer I really admire! One of the old-school guys who started with hammers and then progressed to heavy machines to lighten the load. This I think is vital to develop a real feel for your material, in the end it's almost as if you can form sheet with your mind! 😉👍 Well... Almost! Happy New Year America 🇬🇧⚒️🇺🇲
As a fabricator.. I'd put him right up there with the best in the World. Jesse is just Jesse and that what I like about him. Who am I to judge?? He's seen it all and lived what most of us wish we could.
Jesse was a true builder who inspired a whole generation of "Men" "work the metal don't let the metal work you" he embodied the rugged tough male. He was vilified for that in the age of toxic masculinity. His spirit lives on we are out there building masterpieces out of metal, breathing life into old tech and busting knuckles turning wrenches day and night. Chopping channeling and mig and tig welding. He inspired guys to learn and build. Keep learning keep building. He hasn't stopped.
Yeah, uh huh....look at my beady eyes with retarded 1000ft stare, and like......I talk like an 8th grader, ya know. Uh huh.....not sure what, like Sandra Bullock, like even saw in my.....uh huh
Met him at the Sportsman show a couple of years ago. Nice guy, great builder, not assembler like so many so called builders today. This guy is a metal worker who can build the entire bike from the frame up. He usually only buys the min with parts and fabs the rest.
agreed. boyd and his stupid henchmidget duane took turns driving and firing everyone away to chip foose. wtg fools. chip is far better then boyd anyway.
700 a week was good in 93. For all we know he was pre if not working shoulder to shoulder with Chip. Duhwayne was probably even sweeping the place while Jesse was welding shit together.
My buddy EVAN FAVARO of Speakeasy motors in Wallkill NY started out with a local bike builder while he lived in NJ. He built all the bikes for this local shop & they won shows & the owner of the co. had the balls to tell everyone that HE himself built those bikes etc. So Evan left & went out on his own, then picked up a side gig @ OCC as lead fabricator. He started out BROKE AF & today he's made friends within the bike community. He buddies with Carey Hart & @ 25 years old he just built a bike for the Carey's wife, PINK. The kid is that good.
He have no respect for his fans i saw him in calcary years ago he was 2 hr late for signing his stupid calendar fuck him anyway i never been fan he built shit bike always brake down 60000 $$ bike
Its nice to hear those stories of everyday people making it big it a bike builder, a young kid with a computer or person working in the mail room or sleeping the floor in the shop with heart and willing to try For if you never try you never fail and if you never fail you never have success Real bikers are real people and real people are winners in life from people like Jesse to the small mom & pop dinner were lunch or dinner does not cost an arm and leg and you all ways leave a tip even if all you afford is just a few dollars
Jesse Brought the true respect of bikers to a platform that even the law has respect for when Jesse made an apperance in FRISCO THATS RIGHT FRISCO very cool when i met jesse in FRISCO HE DIDN'T JUST SHAKE MY HAND AND WALK AWAY COOL HE EVEN HAD AN INTERVIEW WITH SOME VERY RESPECTED FRISCO HELLS ANGELS MEMBERS RESPECT TO YOU ALL # 1 MOTOR CYCLE CLUB GREAT INTERVIER...JESSE YOUR WELCOME TO VISIT ARE CITY ANY TIME LOL I KNOW YOU DO AND GO WHERE YOU WANT MUCH RESPECT ENJOY YOUR FAMILY LIFE BROTHER
Say whatever you want but Jesse James is the man. Fabricates bad ass Choppers and beautiful Firearms! but most importantly the man admits and openly talks about his demons and faults with brutal honesty. That takes a strong person, Respect!
Daveallen It looks like it's Reddit v Fan boys. Who will win? My money is on the fan boys. Redditors r lost without their down votes and mods deleting every hurtful comment
It was hard work and patience Jesse hit the big time. Just be patient people.and work hard day after day and blessings will come . Maybe not millionaires or rich but as long as we work and do our best we will be provided with all we need at least and you can not buy happiness
Jesse James, come down to New Zealand, there are NO Haters down here & the Roads are Thee Best in the World for Motorbikes, Oh, & You can stay for Free & I Promise You there are NO Yellow Bikes down here, I mean, come on!, Yellow & Motorbikes don’t go together EVER, So, if You have a spear couple of days or weeks, come down, There’s Not a Single New Zealander Who doesn’t Respect You, We Love the Laid back style of You, the Low Key thing is what We New Zealanders Love, oh, one more question, do You like the New Indians, lastly, I am a TOTAL Boardtrack FANATIC, Those Guys from the 1908 till the 1928s had Thee Biggest Balls, Man, If You Built a Board Track Racer, basically a Pushbike with a huge VTwin squeezed in, Man!!!
WTF man? One thing I completely respect Kiwis for is they do it all themselves. You don't need JJ, Foose or anyone. Some of the most incredible stuff has been done in Enzed, have a bit more respect for yourself, even if you can't say fush n chups.
Last time I checked he was making custom guns in Texas. Yeah he's for sure a badass. Can someone answer me this?...I know he made amazing choppers. Did he ever do café racer type bikes?
Jessie James rules. I think he the best builder. What he builds you can run the shit out of. Most other builders have cover scratches on them from putting the cover on and taking them off. To me not really interested in yard art
Fun fact; the Barry he’s referring to in this clip, is the old guy from the Storage Wars to show
Gtfo
I’m 63 years old and have lived a crazy life, so far, with pinnacles of sucess, bottomless failures, euphoric highs and soul crushing lows.

Yeah like hes so special like theres not thousands of people that could do his job like it's so hard. Hes a douche bro.
This is sad.
I’m 42 and can say about the same for my life’s adventures. It’s been an epic ride, but Jesse is on another level

People rip on him,but he has lived a life many dream of.He has a great drive,and creative nature..much respect
His drive is what I love about him
Agreed
Hard working man fantastic work ethic
He treats women like shit man.
Agree. He still sounds like a disillusioned excited lil 7 year old
I've been wrenching since the 80's. People who use their hands and brains for a living can totally relate to Jesse's stories. I wish he would shift focus to cars, dudes got the vision and the scratch to blow everyone else out of the water.
His real calling is guns believe it or not shit anything that dude touches turns to gold
I disagree I live in small town and theres people here that are just as good or even better then him hes a douche. Why you kissing his ass does it taste good or what

thanks Graham Bensinger and Jesse James, found these insightful interviews motivational
RingerRacing fuck yeah !!!!
Great interviews like always , you’re great at letting people talk
Keep doing a greattt job .
Love it when people make it big on their own! Much respect!!

Exactly right bec knows how make thing proper and method
All the good ones are assholes .....an he has my respect
His thirst for knowledge about his trade is why I respect the man
EXACTLY!!! I'LL TAKE THE $FORTUNE$, FUCK THE FAME!!! EVERYONE UNDER AN MICROSCOPE WOULD WIND UP LOOKING BAD!!! WE ALL GOT SHIT IN OUR BACKGROUNDS!!!💝
I didn't used to care for him until I realised he was just another flawed human being with an amazing talent that doesn't really care what others think. I like that about the guy.
Lmao Fr he’s so full of himself and arrogant

Graham is truly a great interviewer m. He really listens so well. Just great at what you do. Makes it so much better.
Terrific story.....humble guy, smart, and BADASS
I always was a big fan of Jesse James 💪🏼he’s a legend
Aye shout to all the badass jesse's out there making the jesse family look good
He has haters,but he earned everything he has!!,ground up,knowing all he knows just doesn't come out of nowhere.👍👍✌
@Tony Gutierrez True very true!! LoL 👍🏻👍🏻🤣

Lmao why 60%
Jesse is the man he doesn’t take shit and is very talented, mad respect for him , wish I had the money to have him build my bike I want .
As a small business owner, this is motivating. 100%
I remember back in 1996 My buddy was a otr trucker and brought a West Coast Choppers Catalog back from California... Kid's today have no idea what it was like ordering parts from catalogs and the nerve racking wait.
If I only knew half of what Jesse James knows about mechanics and building I'd be a genius
Learn ......like he did ......that easy .... genius

gorgeous! Loved the cooper bike he built and drove to Mexico. Jesse James was a trend setter believe it or not!
Dont care if im with or against the crowd, but big fan of Jessies tv work and shows
boyds in la habra cal been there before too many times 1 block away from where i lived before the show seen it all go down
As a fabricator.. I'd put him right up there with the best in the World. Jesse is just Jesse and that what I like about him. Who am I to judge?? He's seen it all and lived what most of us wish we could.
Ok ill judge him for you - he is a scumbag
I can't wait to tell a story like that. Damn, I'm going to half to step up my tattoo game.Nice production

Currently I am going to Italy for training for Ferrari. I owe that to Jesse.

Thanks for everything
Profit margin is key
he reminds me of garth on Wayne's world...sorry,calls it like I sees it...party on
Yeah, uh huh....look at my beady eyes with retarded 1000ft stare, and like......I talk like an 8th grader, ya know. Uh huh.....not sure what, like Sandra Bullock, like even saw in my.....uh huh

This man has raw talent and determination. kudo to him, he's a hard worker
700 a week working for Boyd coddington??!?....no wonder everyone was bailing to foose
agreed. boyd and his stupid henchmidget duane took turns driving and firing everyone away to chip foose. wtg fools. chip is far better then boyd anyway.
spikesification this is back in 1993 he states in the video though. Plus he sounded like he was a entry level employee too.
700 a week in 93 was pretty good money.
700 a week was good in 93. For all we know he was pre if not working shoulder to shoulder with Chip.
Duhwayne was probably even sweeping the place while Jesse was welding shit together.

Lol, haters every where. Keep up the good work living the dream brother. Peace
Jessica is my man
Who hates him more Kat Von D or Sandra Bullock 🤔. He’s a dick..
He have no respect for his fans i saw him in calcary years ago he was 2 hr late for signing his stupid calendar fuck him anyway i never been fan he built shit bike always brake down 60000 $$ bike
I always did like how Jesse James style of craftsmanship make something boring into something incredible amazingly unique
Its nice to hear those stories of everyday people making it big it a bike builder, a young kid with a computer or person working in the mail room or sleeping the floor in the shop with heart and willing to try
For if you never try you never fail and if you never fail you never have success
Real bikers are real people and real people are winners in life from people like Jesse to the small mom & pop dinner were lunch or dinner does not cost an arm and leg and you all ways leave a tip even if all you afford is just a few dollars
I was in Fort Benning, GA with Jesse James, are you the same one?
I wish i had the opportunity to work with Jesse!
I was like,he was like, they were like...Richard Cranium..always.
Cant judge unless you walk in his shoes. ONE BAD MAN
It sucks not to see him building bikes on TV in Canada. That was my thing. Miss your shows JJ
That’s what you have to love about Jesse. He is always wanting to learn. Even recently he has apprenticed.
His bikes are probably my favorites. Just wish i had the coin to buy one. I'd keep it forever. Dudes got an eye
hes so humble
hes so not humble he thinkshes the man cuz he is
Like him or not 10 times good is American Chopper we all know that
Jesse James as a fucking genius if I had a quarter of his talent I'd be dangerous keep it 💯
I cant take credit for this buts so true. Its like a kid showing Graham his toys lol.
I was getting a burger and these workers were saying this is Jesse James place. I’m like OK can I get a 🍔 burger.
He cracks me up with his eye movements
I like Jesse … Yes he's a little arrogant but he's a damn hard worker and visionary.
Dudes got stories that's for sure
He said like more times than the videos been liked.
if someone were to play a drinking game each time he said like, no would live after this 5 minute video.
he looks about 10 years older than he is hard miles on Jessie
Jesse james was always one of those guys I could listen to for hours. He needs a podcast lol or just start his own show on youtube.
So you can hear him say like a million times😂🤣. Just fucking around
Jesse Brought the true respect of bikers to a platform that even the law has respect for when Jesse made an apperance in FRISCO THATS RIGHT FRISCO very cool when i met jesse in FRISCO HE DIDN'T JUST SHAKE MY HAND AND WALK AWAY COOL HE EVEN HAD AN INTERVIEW WITH SOME VERY RESPECTED FRISCO HELLS ANGELS MEMBERS RESPECT TO YOU ALL # 1 MOTOR CYCLE CLUB GREAT INTERVIER...JESSE YOUR WELCOME TO VISIT ARE CITY ANY TIME LOL I KNOW YOU DO AND GO WHERE YOU WANT MUCH RESPECT ENJOY YOUR FAMILY LIFE BROTHER
Jesse James was already famous in my book
Jesse is one talented man. He has a great life.
Ima be the next great jesse james.29 and going to be staple in the book/ comic book industry
He's still the King.
Well I Like This Video. I Think That The Negativity Is A Waste Of Time. Before You Start Casting Stones Think...
I remember having his notebooks in elementary school
Do you really have to beep out the cursing 🙄
The fender business story is cool, but I really dig that Trans Am.
Say whatever you want but Jesse James is the man. Fabricates bad ass Choppers and beautiful Firearms! but most importantly the man admits and openly talks about his demons and faults with brutal honesty. That takes a strong person, Respect!
It was like, and then he was like, then I was like and then it was all, like...
+Nomans land And you are a broke while like he has twice the money and did it himself, like you know millionaire though having skills and talent.
+Nomans land Your like GAY!!!!!
Like,that is sooo... funny,dude!
What out ,man I think this thread is infested with his salty ,humorless fan club.

this entire series has video corruptions.
greenrolaids no it doesn’t wtf bro you mental?
He could build my bike any day
Sometimes he reminds me of Garth Algar🤓
Someone count how many times he said "like" in this video.
When you going to give my 40% you remember me.and the deal that you told me. my hand shake is more then and better then a contract my word is my bond
Jesse is the definition of America in the late 20th century.
Man this dude is smart
how many times can he say like
Lol, I have a brass tagged "West Coast Choppers" fender from Taiwan.
Jesse James the cowboy now he's famous, nobody's famous till they're dead.
A company I work for works with Kustom Chrome. I'll be...
This guy is what the American Dream is all about, hard work and not agreeing to something just for money and giving value to your service or product.
It was hard work and patience Jesse hit the big time. Just be patient people.and work hard day after day and blessings will come . Maybe not millionaires or rich but as long as we work and do our best we will be provided with all we need at least and you can not buy happiness
CFL 4 LIFE 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Great story
Pretty amazing. But sadly you can't do that these days. Companies are so big and their resources are huge.

I thought he was into Hot Rods in Austin,Texas?
1:03 nice chopping lol
Very Cool!!!!!!!!!
jesse james is rad
“LIKE”
Now that is the real So Cal accent.
Take a shot everytime he says "Like"
cool story, bro.
Jessie James rules. I think he the best builder. What he builds you can run the shit out of. Most other builders have cover scratches on them from putting the cover on and taking them off. To me not really interested in yard art
John Passmore he built trash bike always broken
@@marcopoulin1897 rotflmao
this is stuff I've never heard before
Who the hell is Graham Bensinger? J.James is THE shit!
Jesse is a role model for steel fabricators welders instead of being a pufta doctor or lawyer
Good story
RESPECT
Takeaway: Geniuses like to keep busy.
Haha Barry being all shady back in the day
