I respect Jesse's fabrication skills. I help build race cars in the Northeat so I can fully recognize his abilities. Those very abilities are why I began watching MG in the first place. I have seen Jesse's bikes and can say that the workmanship was on par with any other professional I have ever been witness to, but I also can state that there were flaws and imperfections much the same as any other professional. I can even admit as much as that perhaps the welding I saw wasn't even Jesse's but in fairness to the other people I have spoken with they told me in their opinion-which I value-Jesse's welding is no better than any other professional building bikes today. In fairness to Jesse I can say that I have seen some imperfections on OCC bikes as well.
As previously stated it is not my intent to troll but to post my honest opinion on a MG forum.
this is not what you have been stating or implying in your other posts. You came off as very disrepective with the intenrt to devalue a mans work with only having knowledge of "well I heard from some friends," and tried to state it as a fact instead. Shame on you.

you have seen his bikes, huh. You sure about that?
I can't be made to feel inferior by words. your posts come off as snobby and misinformed, that's what i don't like. But like I said way back in the day, you have your opinions and I'll keep mine.

SHE is a fan on a fan site...YOU are a socially retarded troll. So you can spell check and even fumble through a thesaurus. Do those things keep you warm at night, -?

I'm not a snob, but I can't help how someone perceives my posts or wording of them. I simply write in the manner I have become accustomed to. If someone likes to flame my writing I'm entitled to respond in kind to rib them back am I not?

Never learned the skills necessary to hold a conversation with someone who you differ with? What is your obsession with my endowment or my abilities to use it? Envy manifesting itself via harassing me about mine or my ability to use the English language?
Fear me not deeksbak because I'm no better than you---although you have shown me you think I am.

quote:Jesse is a poser in that he tries to come off like some anti-hero while hawking his wares everywhere and selling out to do commercials for an auto parts store while wearing freaking make up. Please don't try to patronize me...it's not going to work. When you say "we all know" you assume you have the right to speak for everyone which you don't. Besides I subjectively disagree with your assertion that Jesse isn't a poser.
PICK AN OPINION -. DO YOU RESPECT HIS FAB SKILLS OR IS HE A POSER? How hilarious that he is deemed a sell-out for feeding his family and earning a living. SHAME on him for living the American Dream.

I said he's a poser as relates to his denial about liking being on TV. He claims incessantly that he doesn't like being on TV but everywhere you turn you see him on TV. If he hates it so much why does he appear on new shows about....HIM? Why does he go on shows like Conan and Leno?
I don't begrudge him making money to feed his peeps. I do however like to rib him and his marks about him saying he hates being on TV because it's a load of -.

It is abundantly clear that you wish you had what he does. Why would you waste your time here if that wasn't the case? To share all that infinite wisdom with us? TRUST ME, NO ONE IS BUYING WHAT YOU'RE SELLING. YOUR POINT IS MOOT.
and FYI He isn't an actor. He took advantage of opportunities that were offered to him, as any smart businessman would. He is VERY appreciative of his fans.

Original.
I wish that I had what he has? Who wouldn't take the money he has? Would I want the headaches of owning a prominent business with employees? Nope. Sure I wouldn't mind having the fab skills the brotha has but there are thousands of other skilled fabricators whose skills I wouldn't mind having. I just don't see any of them sticking their face on the TV then saying they don't like being on TV.
You don't recognize the hypocricy in that?
I don't consider myself to be wasting my time nor am I envious of anyone's life. I'm an opinionated person who is using a message forum to talk about a topic. The topic happens to be Jesse James and if you and many others don't share my opinion...tough beans.
I disagree that no one agrees with me, but it's okay to appease your need to think otherwise. I'm secure enough in myself and my self-esetem to let others agree or disagree with me. I don't need to belittle those whose opinions doesn't match mine, the way you do.
If we're sipping on Haterade bring a cupo for yourself because you harbor hatred and anger for anyone who doesn't agree with you.
