West Coast Choppers Jesse James

West Coast Choppers – Custom Chopper Builder Jesse James

Jesse James is a bad boy — both literally and figuratively. He’s a tattooed, thrill-seeking, motorcycle enthusiast who perfectly encapsulates a certain “outlaw” archetype, especially with his name. But he’s also engaged in actual bad behavior, from petty crime as a youth to cheating on America’s sweetheart, and even assaulting paparazzi, which he freely and gleefully admits. So it’s no surprise that he was bound to flame out hard.

When the scandal over his infidelities reached a fever pitch, James not only walked away from his lucrative TV projects, he also shut down his legendary West Coast Choppers garage in Long Beach, California and left the state for good. Aside from a few interviews and the release of a tell-all book, he’s basically been a ghost since then. Here’s what happened to Jesse James…

Motorcycle Crash and Burn

Not sure what really happened to cvause this crash. Sure seems like he was going very fast, but, he roads are as wide as hell you can see the corners coming from a miles away it just doesn’t make sense. It was a smooth corner, did then rider just zone out or hallucinate and not realize there was a turn?

Well, how many times have we heard people use the phrase crash and burn? Unfortunately, this motorcycle accident is exactly that . . . A crash and burn!

One thing is for certain here, this motorcycle accident could have been much much worse if not for the fact that another motorcyclist pulled the rider away from the burning bike and shrubbery. To me, it looks like the accident rider was in no condition to get away from the bike in the flames which would’ve resulted in certain horrible death.

I don’t know what the outcome to this accident was at least as far as the motorcycle riders injuries. But, I believe he was extraordinarily fortunate to have other motorcycle riders right there. (more…)

Harley-Davidson stunt riders 360 video

California Harley-Davidson stunt riders 360 video taken in San Marcos Ca.

Harley-Davidson stunt riders 360 video -This video was made with the Samsung Gear 360° camera. the original format is in 4K and it set up for viewing with virtual-reality goggles. But, the original file was saved to my Samsung S7 phone where it was automatically stitched together into the format you see below.

So, by using your cursor or the directional arrows in the upper left-hand corner of the video, you can watch a motorcycle that starts off to the left of the camera and then slowly pan the video to the right to keep that motorcycle in frame as its traveling. you can also use the directional arrows to look behind you as well as up and down as the video is playing.

This camera also takes still pictures in 360°. You can set the camera up on a tripod, and then use your Samsung phone to either activate the video or to take a still photo. personally, I believe this Samsung year 360 camera is one of the best 360° affordable cameras on the market today. This is the ideal tool for Realtor to present the perspective buyer with a virtual tour of the property, without having to leave the real estate office. (more…)

Harley Electric Motorcycle

Confirmed a new Harley electric motorcycle

Well, it’s been a little over two years since Harley announced and debuted it’s Project Livewire electric motorcycle. At that time, and just up to a few weeks ago, Harley-Davison had stated that it was a concept motorcycle. Now, Harley-Davison has just announced that they will definitively be producing an electric motorcycle. What is still up in the air though, is exactly when the general public will see this electric Harley added to their production bikes.

I’m sure most riders and the general public for that matter, think that an electric motorcycle is a new concept but actually the first electric motorcycle was patented in the United States in 1897! Bill Davidson the great grandson of William Davidson, the founder of Harley-Davidson stated recently, that just like their gas powered motorcycles have a very unique sound, they’re working to make their electric motorcycle to have a unique sound that will be totally different than their competitors. Naturally, it’s not going to sound like our current gas powered Harleys, but more like a jet turbine engine! (more…)

2017 Harley Davidson Commercial

Yes, I really have to give Harley-Davidson a big thumbs up on this commercial. I think they did a great job not only promoting their brand but also motorcycling in general.

A huge percentage of the airtime was taken up with the blonde model rider. I think this did two things, first was implied that riding motorcycles is very sexy and second, and perhaps more importantly, show that riding big motorcycles is not exclusively for guys. (more…)
