something in the back of my head is screaming this is a joke of some sort.
You don't get around much do you?
I'm sure you could arrange to pick it up at his shop here in Austin.something in the back of my head is screaming this is a joke of some sort. Granted the bike is cool as all hades, but still. If I had the cash, could fly out to pick it up, and have Jesse James autograph the tank, yeah, I'd probably do it, put the dang thing in the living room and make it a conversation piece.
Kind of a crappy paint job:

I was thinking the same thing -- orange peel city.
And dust under the paint.
I guess the chopper business really is slowing down.
Yep. I noticed that, too.
Here's the full episode, If anyone is interested:

Voice Over said:"Jesse may not know much about the ice road, but after decades of building one of a kind bikes, he knows the basics of outfitting anything to survive even the most brutal conditions."
Jesse said:"The bike's gotta leave tomorrow afternoon, so we're just trying to figure out what we need to do for sub-zero termperatures, so, we made a few parts. We're just trying to get it outfitted so it's cool looking but still, number 1, it's gonna survive what we need it to do.
The best part:
And his first modification? Beefing up the exhaust system, cause, you know, it's Canada, so we don't need that California exhaust.
Ok, ok, technically, the paint job came before the exhaust.
