Description

Jesse James (named for the Old West outlaw and distant cousin) is a grease monkey superhero. He's a welder, a gearhead and a tatooed wiseguy. James works with his hands making custom motorcycles for big spenders who like their choppers loud and fast. The building of each custom machine is a year-long process. Now for the first time every detail is documented - from the welding to the fenders, from the gas caps to the polishing - with the final result the epic, beautiful machines.
