THIS IS MY SHOP... WEST COAST CHOPPERS. IT'SEN TAK NINS E YEAROF HARD WO TO BUILD IT. SOME PEOPLE OUTHINK KER BIS ARE H E BEST IN THE WORLD. WE'VE GOT A TWO-YEAR WAITING LIST WITH 50 PEOPLE DEEP.ST I'VE ALSO GOT A TV SHOW, "MONSTER GARAGE." IT'S A HIT. IF YOU LOOK AT THE LAST YEAR OF MY LIFE, YOU WOULD THINK THAT IT'S THE AMERICAN DREAM OR A PIECE OF CAKE. BUT IN REALITY, IT'S BEEN A TOTAL BITCH. IT ALL STARTED LAST FALL. ME AND MY GIRL JANINE WERE ON OUR WAY TO FAY BUTLER'S SHOP IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. WE CAME ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE COUNTRY TO START BUILDING A BIKE LIKE I'D NEVERUIEFE OUT OF A METAL I'D NEVER WORKED WITH BEFORE -- PURE COPPER. >> OH, THERE'S MY -- THERE'S MY -- OH, GOD, I LOVE THAT. >> James: YOU SCARED ME. I THOUGHT I WAS GONNA HIT SOMEBODY. FAY IS CONSIDERED BY MANY TO BE THE BEST METALWORKER IN THE WORLD. I GO TO HIM WHEN I NEED INSPIRATION. KIND OF FEEL LIKE I'M HITTING THE WALL, SO I NEED TO SHARPEN UP A LITTLE BIT. I'M GONNA LEARN HOW TO MAKE SOME COPPER SHEET METAL INTO A GAS TANK AND LEARN HOW TO WELD IT. JANINE AND I HAD ONLY BEEN TOGETHER FOR A COUPLE MONTHS, BUT IT SEEMED LIKE WE WERE MEANT FOR EACH OTHER. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE, I'M A -- I'M A HAPPY GUY. I FE LIKE I'M, LIKE,NG GETTI MYON VERSI OF WRITER'S BLOCK. MY INSPIRATIONAL BATTERY NEEDS A GOOD CHARGE. I HAVE TO COME ALL THE WAY HERE TO MAKE MY GAS TANK, THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COUNTRY. >> YEAH. >> James: METAL FORMING IS A DYING ART. FAY BUTLER IS ONE OF THE LAST MASTER METAL FABRICATORS IN THE WORLD. WHEN THE BIG THREE AUTOMAKERS NEED A CUSRTTOM PA, THEAEY BT A PATH TO FAY'S BARN. >> IT'S GREAT WORKING WITH JESSE. HE'S LIKE A LIBRARY FULL OF IDEAS THAT ARE JUST WAITING TO BE ACCESSED. JUST GIVE HIM AN INSTANCE AND, BANG, THERE'S A NEW IDEA, BOMBS OUT OF THERE. IT'S LIKE BATS FLYING OUT OF A...OUT OF A BELFRY, YOU KNOW? BOOM! THERE'S ANOTHER IDEA! BOOM! >> James: I GOT NO BATS IN MY BELFRY. I LIKE THOSE DIVIDERS. >> THEY'RE OLD ENOUGH TO VOTE. >> James: ARE THEY? SO IT WOULD BE PROBABLY NINE INCHES WIDE OR SO? >> THAT LOOKS GOOD. >> James: IF THIS IS THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE TANK, WE SHOULD PUT THE DOG LEG ON THIS SIDE. >> OKAY. >> James: 'CAUSE THE BIKE WILL BE ON THE KICKSTAND THAT SIDE, SO WE DON'T WANT TO PUT THE COOLEST PART ABOUT IT IN THE SHADOW. OR WE COULD MAKE IT IN HALVES AND REALLY RIVET IT TOGETHER WHERE IT'S TWO COMPLETE PIECES. LET'S TRY IT LIKE THAT. >> YOU LIKE THAT? >> James: YEAH. BECAUSE I LIKE THAT KIND OF FRISCO LOOK WHERE THE TANK'S KIND OF -- >> STRAIGHT? >> James: YEAH. >> YOU MAKE THE LEFT, AND I'LL MAKE THE RIGHT. >> James: WE'RE GONNA TRY TO MAKE A TANK IN TWO COMPLETE HALVES, SO IT WILL HAVE A LOOK I WANT, BUT IT WILL COME TOGETHER LIKE THIS AND HAVE A MECHANICAL RIVETED JOINT ALL AROUND THE TOP OF IT WITH SOME STAINLESS RIVETS. THIS IS GONNA FOLD OVER IN A NICE RADIUS RIGHT HERE. >> LET'S GET HAMMERING. >> James: YEAH. >> FAY BUTLER WROTE THE BOOK ON POWER HAMMERS. THERE'S ONLY A HANDFUL OF PEOPLE IN THE WORLD THAT EVEN KNOW HOW TO USE THESE MACHINES, AND THERE'S ONLY ONE PERSON THAT KNOWS HOW TO TEACH PEOPLE HOW TO USE THEM, AND THAT'S FAY. STAMPING MACHINES ARE GREAT FOR PRODUCTION WORK. WHEN YOU FORM SOMETHING WITH A POR HAMMER, IT SEEMS TO HAVE A SOUL. I'VE BEEN DOING A LOT OF STUFF OUT OF SEAL, AND YOU HAVE TO CHROME IT OR ALUMINUM, YOU HAVE TO PAINT IT OR POLISH IT. THIS IS JUST -- I THINK IT LOOKS GOOD JUST LIKE IT IS. >> IT HAS SUCH A WARM FEEL TO IT, THE COPPER. IF YOU WANT TO SHRINK HERE, YOU'VE GOT TO ROLL THIS OUT. >> James: OKAY. >> I REMEMBER YOU TELLING ME THAT THESE MACHINES WERE SO BARBARIC AND CRUDE-LOOKING, THAT IF YOU HADN'T SEEN WHAT THEY COULD DO, YOU NEVER WOULD HAVE BELIEVED IT. IT'S A BEAUTIFUL PART WHEN IT'S DONE WITH THESE MACHINES. THIS IS THE WAY THE MATERIAL CAME OUT OF THE ROLL. 'CAUSE, REALLY, METALS ARE SPAGHETTI. IF YOU LOOKED AT THIS UNDER A MICROSCOPE, YOU WOULD SEE THAT THE GRAINS WERE ALL THESE TUBULAR PIECES IN THERE THAT LOOKED LIKE SPAGHETTI ALL STACKED UP IN HERE. AND THE SPAGHETTI BENDS BETTER WHEN YOU TAKE THE SPAGHETTI AND BEND IT THIS WAY THAN TRYING TO BEND IT WITH THE PARALLEL TO THE SPAGHETTI. IF YOU TRIED BENDING IT PARALLEL TO SPAGHETTI, YOU'D SEE ALL THOSE LINES, BUT WHEN YOU BEND IT PERPENDICULAR TO THE SPAGHETTI, THEN YOU GET A NICE ROLL. >> OW, YOU HURT MY ELBOW! >> James: [ LAUGHS ] >> IT HURTS! IN 41 DAYS, JESSE AND I ARE -- ARE GETTING MARRIED, GETTING HITCHED. JESSE AND I, FOR PROBABLY THE LAST FOUR MONTHS NOW, HAVE BEEN TRYING TO HAVE A -- A NEW LITTLE PUP, AND, UM... [ CHUCKLES ] He's right there. Go away. >> James: SHUT UP. >> IT IS! >> James: I DON'T FEEL LIKE IT'S THAT EXCITING. >> I CAN SEE IT COMING TOGETHER NOW. >> RIVET IT ALL THE WAY DOWN THE FRONT? >> James: YEAH. >> LOOKS GOOD. >> James: ALMOST LIKE WE KNEW WHAT WE WERE DOING. >> JESSE AND I -- I DON'T KNOW. I THINK WE JUST FEED OFF OF ONE ANOTHER, AND IT'S PERFECT TIMING. E WE GIVEACH OTHER WHAT, YOU KNOW, WE'VE LONGED FOR FOR SO LONG. IT HASN'T BEEN A SUPER-EASY ROAD FOR US, JESSE EVEN MORE SO THAN I. HE'S BUSTED HIS BUTT TO THE BONE FOR YEARS AND, YOU KNOW, NOTHING WAS HANDED TO HIM. NOTHING WAS HANDED TO ME. I DON'T KNOW IF I WOULD SAY THAT WE CAME FROM THE SCHOOL OF HARD KNOCKS, BUT HE POURED A LOT OF...SWEAT AND TEARS INTO WHAT HE'S DONE. >> YOU SAY THIS IS YOUR FIRST TIME EVER WELDING, HUH? >> James: [ Laughing ] YEAH. >> ISN'T THAT AWESOME? >> SOFT. >> IN MY OPINION, THAT'S THE PERFECT PANEL. >> James: THIS IS PUZZLE PIECE NUMBER ONE TO JESSE GOING 100 MILES AN HOUR. WHEN I GOT BACK TO LONG BEACH, MY GUYS HAD FABRICATED A NEW FRAME. JOHN HARMAN HAD A CHASSIS CALLED A HARMAN DOMINATOR FRAME. HE'S, LIKE, ONE OF MY HEROES -- DICK ALLEN, JOHN HARMAN. IF THEY DIDN'T EXIST, YOU WOULDN'T BE HERE TALKING TO ME. SO I'M CALLING THIS ONE THE WEST COAST DOMINATOR IN HONOR OF JOHN HARMAN. I INSTALLED A 124-CUBIC INCH S&S MOTOR. EVERYBODY'S TRYING TO DO EVERYTHING THAT -- ALL THESE BIKES NOW, THEY ALL KIND OF LOOK LIKE A SALVADOR DALI PAINTING, YOU KNOW, WHERE EVERYTHING'S MELTING ALL OVER IT. I WANT TO IT LOOK LIKE A MACHINE AGAIN. I WANT TO KEEP IT REAL HONEST. WHERE THERE'S A FASTENER, I WANT TO SEE A FASTENER. I DON'T WANT TO HIDE ANYTHING. FAY'S A GOOD METALWORKER -- LIKE, THE BEST -- BUT HE'S NOT A MOTORCYCLE GUY, SO SOMETIMES HIS STUFF DOESN'T HAVE THAT MUCH STYLE. SO WHEN I GOT BACK HERE, I PUT A LITTLE BIT MORE SHAPE, YOU KNOW, TOOK THE SQUARENESS OUT OF IT. ALL YOU GOT TO DO IS MAKE A TUNNEL AND ROLL THE EDGE IN IT. I BOUGHT THIS COOL RIVETING MACHINE THAT DOES A RIVET, BUT IT DOESN'T PIERCE THROUGH THE BACK SIDE, SO I THINK IT WILL BE FUEL-PROOF. IT WILL BE ALL STAINLESS RIVETS ALL THE WAY AROUND HOLDING THIS TOGETHER. WE'LL RIVET THE FENDERS, RIVET THE OIL TANK. AND THEN I WANT TO MAKE A LITTLE KIND OF SADDLEBAG DEAL. WHILE I WORKED ON MY COPPER BIKE, MY GUYS WERE FABRICATING A BADASS BIKE FOR MY HOMEBOY, KID ROCK. THE PLAN WAS TO RIDE DUE SOUTH INTO THE HEART OF MEXICO AND JUST GET LOST. >> JESSE JAMES, EVERYBODY! [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> DO CELEBRITIETOS TRY I -- KNOW YOU'VE MADE SOME BIKES FOR CELEBRITIES. YOU MADE A BIKE FOR SHAQ. >> James: YEAH, ONE FOR SHAQ, AND, LIKE, PRETTY GOOD FRIENDS, LIKE TYSONOR BECKFD, AND, UH, DO ING R ONE FOMY FRIEND, KID ROCK. >> YOU'RE DOING A BIKE FOR HIM? >> Narrator: WE'RE GONNA ACTUALLY TAKE THEM AND RIDE THEM ACROSS MEXICO NEXT MONTH. >> Y?OU ARE WHY? TO KILL HIM, OR... [ LAUGHTER ] >> JamDOes: I N'T KNOW. I'VE BEEN EVERYWHERE IN THE UNITED STATES,EX AND MICO'S KIND OF OUTLAW AND, YOU KNOW. >> WHAT'S SPECIAL ABOUT HIS BIKE? WHAT MAKES IT -- IS IT POWERED BY VODKA OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT? >> James: WELL, I'M SURPRISING HIM WITH IT. I DON'T WANT TO GIVE IT AWAY, BUT HE'S KIND OF -- HE'S A BIG "DUKES OF D"HAZZAR. FAN >> OH, REALLY? WOW. SO, LIKE, A GENERAL LEE-TYPE MOTORCYCLE? >> James: IT WILL BE COOL. >> HOPEFULLY, THIS IS THE BACK FENDER FOR BOBBY'S BIKE, FOR KID ROCK'S BIKE. OH, YEAH. OH, YEAH. "AMERICAN BADASS." BOBBY'S GONNA FREAK OUT. BOBBY OWNS THE GENERAL LEE, THE ORIGINAL ONE. I'M EXCITED. IT'S A FUN BIKE TO BUILD. >> James: I BOUGHT THIS AT A SWAP MEET ABOUT 10 OR 12 YEARS AGO. I THINK IT'S A VESPA. IT'S LIKE A '50s VESPA OR A '50s ALLSTATE, LIKE A SEARS SCOOTER. AND...I JUST BOUGHT IT 'CAUSE I LOVE THE SHAPE OF IT. IT'S LIKE A COVER TO THE ENGINE. BUT I THINK IT WOULD MAKE A SUPER-COOL SADDLEBAG. THAT THING LOOKS LIKE IT'S GOING LIKE, 100, JUST SITTING THERE. TISSUE PAPER WORKS GOOD 'CAUSE EVERYWHERE YOU HAVE TO FOLD IT MEANS SOMEWHERE YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO MAKE A SHRINK ON THE METAL OR YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TOO MUCH MATERIAL. THIS IS GONNA TELL US EVERYTHING WE WANT TO KNOW. SO IF I TOOK THIS AND SMASHED IT IN A PRESS AND MADE IT FLAT...THAT'S WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE. SO THAT'S HOW MUCH MATERIAL EXTRA WE NEED. ALL RIGHT. LET'S CUT SOME METAL. >> ♪ OHH ♪ ♪ OHH ♪ ♪ OHH ♪ ♪♪ OHH ♪ ♪ I BELIEVE ♪ ♪ THEM BONES ARE ME ♪♪ ♪ SOME SAY ♪ ♪ WE'RE BORN INTO THE GRAVE ♪♪ ♪ I FEEL SO ALONE ♪ ♪ GONNA END UP A BIG OL' PILE OF THEM BONES ♪ ♪ OHH ♪ >> James: IT'S TIME TO MOVE ON. I THINK THIS IS GONNA BE THE LAST BIKE I'M GONNA BUILD. BIGGEST THING FOR ME IS THAT IT'S HARD TO WORK NOW, YOU KNOW? THE SHOP IS LIKE SEA WORLD OR GRACELAND FOR BIKERS NOW. YOU KNOW, I GET HERE AT 6:00 IN THE MORNING, SOMEONE TAKES MY PICTURE. HI. THE HARDEST THING IN THE WORLD IS YOU GUYS WATCHING ME ALL THE TIME. [ BELCHES ] I JUST WANT TO WORK.

GET UP HERE. [ SMOOCHES ] WHEN I STARTED BUILDING ALL THESE BIKES, EVERYBODY HATED THEM AND EVERYBODY THOUGHT IT SUCKED, AND EVERYBODY THOUGHT I WAS AN IDIOT AND I WAS CRAZY, AND "YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN TO STOP," AND ALL THIS OTHER STUFF. AND NOW EVERYBODY'S GIVING ME THE THUMBS-UP AND, YOU KNOW, AND -- THAT'S NOT WHY I DID IT. THE FIRST CHOPPER I EVER BUILT, I BUILT IT BECAUSE I HATED EVERYONE, AND EVERYBODY HATED ME, AND I WANTED THEM TO HATE ME MORE BY HAVING A BIKE THAT WAS GONNA, LIKE, BLAST THEIR EARDRUM WHEN I ROLLED BY THEM AND STUFF LIKE THAT. AND NOW EVERYBODY THINKS -- "ALL RIGHT." SO NOW, WITH THIS BIKE, ALL I'M DOING IS ONE BIKE FOR ME TO RIDE. BET YOU 100 BUCKS. >> OKAY. I'LL BET YOU 100 BUCKS, COME ON. >> I BET THIS IS THE LAST BIKE I BUILD FOR MYSELF -- CHOPPER. "CHOPPER." >> I'LL BET YOU 1,000 BUCKS. THERE'S NO WAY. THERE'S NO WAY THIS IS YOUR LAST ONE. >> James: 10 MONTHS AFTER I MET JANINE, OUR WEDDING DAY HAD FINALLY ARRIVED. IT WAS THE HAPPIEST DAY OF MY LIFE. WE HAD 300 PEOPLE COMING FROM AROUND THE WORLD, BUT LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE, ALL THE PLANS WERE DOWN TO THE WIRE. >> HEY, WHAT'S UP? >> I GOT SOMETHING FOR YA. GOT SOMETHING FOR YA, LOOK. >> SO WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE TODAY, GUYS? >> WE'RE HERE TO CELEBRATE THE UNION OF TWO GOOD FRIENDS OF OURS, JESSE AND JANINE. >> THIS IS THE FIRST PERSON THAT HE'S EVER BEEN WITH THAT I REALLY SEE IT IN HIS EYES -- I SEE HOW MUCH HE LOVES HER. AND I THINK SHE'S GOT A LOT TO PUT UP WITH. [ LAUGHTER ] >> ♪ SINCE MY BABY... ♪ >> James: GETTING MARRIED TO MY BABY. SHE'S MAKING AN HONEST MAN OUT OF ME. [ LAUGHS ] >> HE'S GROWN UP SO FAST. WE HAD LOTS OF FUN WITH HIM WHEN HE WAS LITTLE. >> I'VE KNOWN HIM SINCE... HE WAS ABOUT 3 YEARS OLD, AND HIS FATHER AND I WERE DEALERS -- ANTIQUE DEALERS. >> ...THESE WORDS ABOUT MARRIAGE. FROM THE BEGINNING OF CREATION, GOD MADE THEM MALE AND FEMALE. ...AND BY THE AUTHORITY THAT IS GIVEN TO MOWE, I N DECHALARE TT YOU ARE HUSBAND AND WIFE. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] >> James: I LOVE YOU. >> I LOVE YOU. >> AND YOU MAY RISE. [ "WEDDING MARCH" PLAYS ] [ APPLAUSE ] >> THIS WAS A PIECE OF CAKE. SHE GAVE IT THE ACID TEST. >> I DID.

I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY'RE GONNA GET ALONG, BUT WE'RE GONNA MAKE THEM GET ALONG! >> James: I GOT ONE, TOO. LOOK AT IT. >> JESSE AND JANINE -- IT'S ALL ABOUT THE METAL. [ LAUGHTER ] >> I JUST WANT TO CONGRATULATE MY BUDDY. VERY PROUD OF HIM. WENT FROM A ZERO TO A HERO RIGHT QUICK. >> WHAT DO YOU THINK THEIR MARRIAGE IS GONNA BE LIKE? >> IT'S LIKE A BOMB. IT COULD BLOW UP ANY DAY. >> JamW es: NOTHAT JANINE AND I WERE HITCHED, IT SEEMED LIKE EVERYTHING WAS GOING TO BE COOL R HAOM TT DAY ON. I WAS NEVER MORE WRONG. >> James: I GOT THIS NEW RIVETER FROM ENGLAND THAT SET ME BACK 35 GRAND. ALL RIGHT. NOPE. I HAD TO FOCUS COMPLETELY BECAUSE ONE SCREW-UP, AND I'D HAVE TO START ALL OVER. ESPECIALLY BECAUSE I TOTALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING, AS FAR AS RIVETING. THIS IS THE FIRST THING I'VE EVER RIVETED. HUH? >> IT DIDN'T SET THAT ONE ALL THE WAY. >> James: NO. >> JESSE'S A BETTER GUY THAN MOST PEOPLE THINK. THEY JUST SEE HIM FROM THE OUTSIDE AND TRY TO JUDGE HIM FROM THE OUTSIDE. HE'S OMYNE OF BEST FRIENDS. HE 'S GONNA BE THATE GODFHER OF MY TWINS. YES, I LOVE THAT GUY. ME AND MY NEWLYWED WIFE ARE HAVING TWINS, A BOY AND A GIRL. SHE'S THE VICE-PRESIDENT OF THIS COMPANY. JESSE BROUGHT US TOGETHER. LOOK AT THAT. >> James: WAIT, WAIT, GO UP, GO UP. NO, THERE'S ANOTHER RIVET IN THERE. STUPID. YEP. [ EXHALES ] I'VE MADE THIS GAS TANK, I BET, 50 TIMES THIS SHAPE WITH THIS EXACT LINE IN IT, BUT TO TAKE IT AND DO IT OUT OF THREE PIECES AND HAVE TO HAVE ALL THE PIECES PERFECT -- I GOT A LOT OF RESPECT FOR ALL THOSE OLD-TIMERS THAT HAD TO LAY A WHOLE PLATE. THIS IS ONLY, LIKE, 60 RIVETS. THIS IS OUT OF A B-25 BOMBER. WORLD WAR II. AND IT'S GOT -- THERE'S NO WELDS ON THE WHOLE THING. SOME GUY HAD TO SHAPE THESE CORNERS ON A YODER DURING THE '40s. ALL THE RIVETS -- I COUNTED THEM. THERE'S, LIKE, 450 RIVETS ON ONE CHAIR. SO IF IT TOOK ME ALL DAY SUNDAY TO LAY THOSE 60, YOU KNOW, SOME OLD-TIMER HAD TO LAY LIKE 400 OF THOSE? AND NO ONE MADE A TV SHOW ABOUT HIM. IT'S THE ULTIMATE SENSE OF SELF-PRIDE TO MAKE SOMETHING BY HAND AND DO A GOOD JOB. AND, YOU KNOW, THIS IS -- EVERYTHING'S RIGHT OUT THERE WHERE YOU CAN SEE THE SCREW-UPS. I CAN SEE THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF SCRATCHES AND WAVINESS AND STUFF LIKE THAT, AND THERE'S, LIKE, A DING THAT NEEDS TO COME OUT OVER HERE. BUT RIGHT THERE, THERE IT IS, YOU KNOW? IT'S EITHER PERFECT OR IT'S CRAP. >> SO, HOW'S YOUR MARRIAGE? HOW'S IT GOING? >> [ LAUGHS ] I'M JUST AMAZED IT'S LASTED THIS LONG. >> James: IT'S BEEN SMOOTH SAILING. >> THAT'S WHAT I HEARD. >> NO, HE'S ROUGH. HE'S A ROUGH ONE. [ LAUGHS ] >> James: BOTH OF US HATE LOSING, SO... >> THERE'S BEEN A LITTLE BIT OF DRAMA. >> James: IS DRAMA THE SAME AS NUCLEAR WARFARE? >> [ LAUGHTER ] >> WE'RE DOING THE RESPONSIBLE THING. WE JUST WENT TO OUR FIRST... THERAPY SESSION. >> James: WE WENT TO COUNSELING, AND I GOT THE LADY AT COUNSELING TO SAY THE "F" WORD. >> YES. GO FOR THE BIG "C" WORD. "YOU CALLED YOUR WIFE WHAT?" [ LAUGHS ] YEAH, THAT ONE. NO, IT'S GOOD. WE'LL BEIG ALL RHT. >> JESSE JAMES. >> JESSE JAMES. >> JESSE JAMES. >> James: SO, LOOKS LIKE I'M GONNA HAVE A KID AGAIN. CHICK'S GONNA GET ALL -- >> STRETCHED OUT? >> James: YEAH. I SHOULD TAKE A CERTAIN PRIDE IN THAT. TAKING ONE OF THE HOTTEST CHICKS IN THE WHOLE WORLD AND MAKING HER ALL FAT. >> THANK YOU. THAT'S NICE. >> James: TAKE, LIKE, THE BEST [BLEEP] AND MAKE IT ALL -- BAM! [ LAUGHS ] THAT'S GONNA BE GOOD. >> 12 WEEKS. 12 WEEKS PREGNANT. I WASN'T EVEN AWARE THAT THEY COULD HAVE AN ULTRASOUND THAT QUICK. IT WAS AMAZING. IT -- IT WAS WAVING, AND YOU SEE THE LITTLE FACE AND THE LITTLE FINGERS, AND IT'S KICKING AND BUCKING. IT WAS -- BUT ACTUALLY, WE GOT IN A FIGHT THAT DAY, TOO, BECAUSE HE MADE FUN OF MY NURSE BECAUSE SHE HAD A MULLET. HE KEPT SAYING "WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO 'MULLET' OVER WHAT WE'RE GONNA NAME THIS THING." AND HE'S BEHIND HER, LAUGHING LIKE IT'S THE FUNNIEST FRIGGING THING AND, OKAY. BUT AT THAT MOMENT, I'M LIKE BUTT NAKED ON THIS GYNECOLOGICAL TABLE, AND I'M NOT FINDING THE HUMOR IN ANYTHING RIGHT NOW, SO I WAS ULTRASENSITIVE, AND WE BRAWLED A LITTLE BIT. BUT WE'RE ALL RIGHT NOW. I DIDN'T MEAN TO THROW KEYS IN HIS FACE. I JUMPED OUT OF THE CAR, AND THE KEYS WENT BEHIND ME, AND I CLIPPED HIM IN THE MOUTH. HE DIDN'T TAKE TOO KINDLY TO THAT. I DIDN'T PULL -- DID YOU SAY I PULLED A KNIFE ON YOU? >> NO, I DIDN'T SAY -- THIS IS A RUMOR. IT'S A RUMOR. >> I DID. I DID, IN THE KITCHEN. >> James: WHAT? >> I DID. >> James: WHEN? >> Shh. >> YOU DID? >> I DID. HE WANTED -- HE WOULDN'T LEAVE ME ALONE. HE WAS CHASING ME FROM ROOM TO ROOM. WHEN HE WANTS TO TALK, HE GETS -- ACTUALLY, HIS FIGHTING IS VERY RELENTLESS. HE'LL -- HE WON'T STOP. HE'LL GO, GO, GO, GO, GO UNTIL HE BEATS IT TO A BLOODY PULP AND THEN -- SO, I'M LIKE -- EVERY ROOM I WOULD GO TO, HE WOULD FOLLOW ME. I WAS LIKE, "BACK OFF." AND THAT'S WHY WE HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TOMORROW NIGHT AT 7:00 TO GO SEE OUR COUNSELOR AND GET A HANDLE ON IT. >> James: YEAH, WE'RE STILL TOGETHER, THOUGH. >> YES. [ LAUGHS ] >> THIS IS OUR FOREIGN STRETCH SINGLE DOWN TUBE EL DIABLO II SOFTTAIL, SOMETHING WE MADE SPECIAL FOR BOBBY... THIS IS AN S&S 113. THIS PROBABLY HAS 140 HORSEPOWER. OUR NEW EL DIABLO II...FORK LEGS. LET'S SEE SOMEBODY COPY THESE. THEY'LL HAVE TO WORK A LITTLE BIT. THEY'RE COOL, DUDE! DO I'VE TO EXPLAIN? THEY ARE THE COOLEST THING IN THE WORLD. THE ONLY THING -- THERE'S NOTHING AS COOL AS THIS. TRYING TO THINK OF SOMETHING, BUT THERE'S NOT. ANYBODY CAN BUILD A CAR. IT STAYS UP BY ITSELF. WE HAVE SO MANY PEOPLE ON ORDER, WE HAVE TO JOG THEM AROUND, AND EVERYTHING'S UNDER PRESSURE. PRESSURE'S A GOOD THING. HOW DO YOU THINK JESSE'S MAKING THAT BIKE UPSTAIRS? >> James: I SHOULD ENTER THIS IN THE BIKER BUILD-OFF. ALL RIGHT. PERFECT. LASTNE. YEP. YAY, TEAM. THAT WAS A LOT OF STRESS, GETTING THAT PIECE ON THERE. RIVETING AROUND THIS RADIUS IS ONE OF THE HARDEST THINGS I'VE EVER HAD TO DO, TO GET THOSE TO LINE UP AND THEN RIVET ON A RADIUS WHERE EACH RIVET IS STRAIGHT GOING IN, AND I'M HAVING TO USE A RIVETER AND PILE IT IN STRAIGHT. YOU KNOW, I THINK IT WAS A SEQUENCE OF NINE RIVETS, AND I HAD TO DRILL OUT FIVE AND REDO THEM. SO LONG WAITING FOR THIS TANK TO GET DONE. WE DID IT AND MADE THE PIECES LAST SEPTEMBER, YOU KNOW? I VISUALIZED IT, BUT IT'S BETTER THAN I THOUGHT. LET'S SEE THAT GAS CAP. I STOLE IT OFF THE SHARK BOAT. [ LAUGHS ] ME LIKEY. >> WHY IS IT TAKING SO LONG TO BUILD THIS BIKE? >> James: 'CAUSE I HAD TO BUILD 30 CARS IN BETWEEN THEN AND NOW. "MONSTER GARAGE." WE DIDN'T EXPECT THAT TO BE A HIT. WE'RE DONE TOMORROW NIGHT. THEN I GOT TO LEAVE NEXT DAY, FRIDAY MORNING, FLY OUT FRIDAY NIGHT TO NEW JERSEY FOR SOMETHING WITH MTV. FLY BACK SATURDAY NIGHT, AND THEN BE AT THE X GAMES TO GIVE AWAY MEDALS ON SUNDAY AND THEN START ANOTHER BUILD MONDAY MORNING TO REDO THE HEARST. AND THEN FLY TO INDIANAPOLIS THAT WEEKEND TO DO DEBUT OUR TOP FUEL DRAGSTER. THEN I HAVE TWO DAYS OFF. >> ♪ THINK I NEED HELP OR I'LL DWELL IN HELL 'CAUSE I GOT A GRIP TOO TIGHT ♪ ♪ WILL YOU EVER GET OUT OF MY HEAD? ♪ >> James: I'M JUST TIRED. TRYING TO GET THAT BIKE READY AND GET IT OFF TO MEXICO AND GET THIS DONE, AND THEN FINISH THE CAR LAST WEEK AND EVERYTHING ELSE IN BETWEEN. I SHOULD GET PAID MORE. THAT WOULD MAKE IT BETTER. >> WOULD IT? >> James: YEAH, IF I HAD MORE MONEY. NO, IT WOULDN'T. 'CAUSE I DON'T REALLY NEED THE MONEY, AND I HAVE ALL THE STUFF I WANT, AND I'M STILL TIRED. >> YOU'RE PLAYING AROUND WITH THIS STUFF AGAIN? >> James: HUH? >> YOU PLAYING AROUND WITH ALL THIS JUNK AGAIN? WHEN ARE YOU GONNA GET A REAL JOB? >> James: I'VE BEEN SORE. >> FROM WHAT? FELL OFF YOUR CHECKBOOK? >> James: HAVE YOU TALKED TO LARRY? NO? >> NO, I HAVEN'T TALKED TO YOUR DAD FOR QUITE A WHILE. HAVE YOU? IS HE M.I.A. AGAIN? >> James: NO. MY SISTER -- I DON'T KNOW. HE'S BUDDY-BUDDY WITH MY SISTER, 'CAUSE SHE CALLED THE COPS ON ME A FEW WEEKS AGO. >> THAT'S ONE BIG, HAPPY FAMILY, ISN'T IT? >> James: YEAH. >> James: I ONLY TALK TO MY STEPSISTER, THAT'S IT. AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, THE REST OF THEM ARE DEAD. THEY HATE ME AND HATE WHAT I'M ABOUT, AND... I'D HAVE TO SAY IT'S MUTUAL. IT SOUNDS ALL COOL NOW THAT I WAS, LIKE, A WHITE-TRASH KID. MAN, SURE AS HELL DON'T WANT MY KIDS TO GO THROUGH THE STUFF I WENT THROUGH. STEALING CARS AND SELLING THE WHEELS OFF OF THEM IS WHAT IT TOOK TO SURVIVE, YOU KNOW? I HATED IT. I HATED MY LIFE GROWING UP, AND THERE WAS SO MUCH TURMOIL AND FIGHTING, AND... SO, I WENT WITH MY DAD, WHO WAS A PRETTY SHADY GUY. HE ACCUSED ME OF BURNING MY OWN HOUSE DOWN. MY 15th BIRTHDAY, HE PUNCHED ME RIGHT IN THE MOUTH, AND WE WENT AT IT. I TACKLED HIM THROUGH A WALL IN THE HOUSE. THAT WAS THE LAST TIME. I WAS GONE. GRABBED MY CAR AND MY STUFF AND BOOKED. [ LAUGHS ] >> [ LAUGHS ] >> James: I LOOK AT MY KIDS NOW, AND I WATCH THEM RUN, AND THEY'RE SO FREE AND CAREFREE. THE WAY THEY PLAY AND STUFF LIKE THAT -- I WAS NEVER LIKE THAT. >> HE'S NEVER HAD A HORSE? >> GO GET YOUR DADDY. >> James: GO LOOK AT HER. GO SEE HER. ISN'T SHE CUTE? SHE'S GOT BLOND HAIR. WHAT DO YOU THINK? I'M JUST TRYING TO BREAK THE CHAIN WITH MY KIDS. I WANT TO BE A GOOD PARENT. I WANT TO WORK HARD AND GIVE THEM EVERYTHING THAT I NEVER HAD. THAT'S WHY I GOT HER THAT HORSE. SHE WANTED IT, AND I BUSTED MY [BLEEP] SO SHE COULD GET STUFF LIKE THAT. [ WHISTLES, POPS ] [ LAUGHS ] FIREWORKS MAKES EVERYTHING BETTER. >> [ SINGING INDISTINCTLY ] >> SWEET! >> James: [ LAUGHS ] MAKING FENDERS. ♪ I SEE RIGHT TO ♪ ♪ MY...KINGDOM ♪ ♪ I LEAVE YOU TO ♪ >> James: THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A FENDER AND A GAS TANK IS, LIKE, THE RIVETED GAS TANK, I REALLY HAVE TO CONCENTRATE AND PAY ATTENTION. THE FENDERS, I CAN MAKE WHILE I'M SLEEPING. I'VE MADE LOTS OF STUFF THAT WAS TOTALLY NOT HOW I WANTED IT BUT IT LOOKED GOOD, SO I JUST WENT WITH IT AND TELL EVERYBODY THAT'S -- "I TOTALLY MEANT FOR IT TO BE LIKE THAT." MY FAVORITE TIME OF THE DAY TO WORK IS WHEN NO ONE'S HERE. I HATE PEOPLE. SEEMS LIKE THE MORE POPULAR THE SHOP HAS GOTTEN, THE LESS PEOPLE WANT TO LET ME WORK. BE KIND OF NICE TO BE ABLE TO TAKE A [BLEEP] WITHOUT HAVING TO MENTALLY PREPARE FOR PEOPLE TO SCREAM AT ME. I JUST THANK GOD I DON'T DRINK ANYMORE BECAUSE... [ LAUGHS ] I'D TELL EVERYBODY TO BEAT IT REALLY QUICK. WITHIN 30 FEET OF ME, THERE'S, LIKE, 25 PEOPLE WAITING TO TAKE MY PICTURE OR GET MY AUTOGRAPH. >> CAME DOWN TO THE LA BREA TAR PITS, THOUGHT "WHILE WE'RE DOWN HERE, LET'S GO SEE IF WE CAN MEETESSE D JOWN AT WEST COAST CHOPPERS." >> DISNEYLAND AND RAGING WATERS, AND THEN WEST COAST CHOPPERS. >> WEST COAST CHOPPERS IS DEFINITELY COOLER THAN DISNEYLAND. THERE'S NO LONG LINES. THAT'S BAD. >> JESSE JAMES. >> JESSE JAMES. >> JESSE JAMES. J >> JESSEAMES. >> James: I CAN PINPOINT THE EXACT MOMENT WHEN MY LIFE STARTED TO FLIP UPSIDE DOWN. EIGHT YEARS AGO, AND I WAS IN THE SHOP AT PARAMOUNT. ANI HAD A SECOND PINHONE LE ADDED SO I COULD GET FAXES SO THEY COULD FAX ME PURCHASE ORDERS. AND THAT WAS REALLY GREAT -- YOU KNOW, BUSINESS AND STUFF LIKE THAT. I WAS GETTING THESE $80,000 ORDERS. I WAS LIKE, "WHOO-HOO!" BUT THAT'S WHEN IT STARTED. >> HELLO, WEST COAST. $37.89. WE EITHER HAVE REALLY SMALL OR REALLY BIG. IT'S LIKE A ZOO. IT'S CRAZY. ALL THE TIME, NUTS. WAITING FOR ME TO OPEN THE GATES IN THE MORNING AND HOLLERING FOR ME TO OPEN THEM BACK UP WHEN WE CLOSE, SO IT'S NONSTOP. IT'S RAD, THOUGH. KEEPS ME EMPLOYED. $86.60. $51.96. $56.29. >> MY DAUGHTER HAS A CRUSH ON HIM. [ LAUGHS ] I THINK SHE WATCHES IT FOR JESSE. >> James: I TOTALLY APPRECIATE IT BECAUSE THE FLIP SIDE OF IT IS EVERYBODY COULD BE SAYING I SUCK, AND YOUR BIKES AND YOUR CARS SUCK, AND WE HATE YOU. IT'S AN OVERWHELMING AMOUNT OF GOOD AND POSITIVE FEEDBACK FROM PEOPLE, BUT I'M A VICTIM OF MY OWN SUCCESS. OKAY, YEAH, YEAH. I GET IT. I'M ON TV. THANKS. >> PLEASE WELCOME JESSE JAMES. [ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] NOW, YOU TOOK A PORSCHE, AND YOU TURNED IT INTO A GOLF-BALL RETRIEVING MACHINE. >> James: THE GOLF BALL PICKER. >> WHY DOUID Y DO THIS? es>> Jam: THE GUY THAT'S IN THE CAGE THAT GETS PELTED BY GOLFERS. >> AND THERE YOU ARE. >> James: AND THE BEST THING EVER IS WHEN THEY SAW THIS SHINY BRAND-NEW CAR OUT THERE PICKING UP GOLF BALLS, ALL THE GOLFERS -- YOU COULD SEE THEM AT THE LITTLE PUTTING RANGE -- THEY STARTED JAMMING, "MAN, WE'RE GONNA HIT THIS CAR!" SO THEY'RE ALL RUNNING TO TRY TO GET THEIR DRIVERS OUT. >> AND THEY HAVE NO IDEA THAT THEY'RE GONNA BE HIT. >> James: NO. SO, THEY'RE ALL TRYING TO TEE UP. IT WAS THE FIRST TIME I EVER SEEN A GOLFER HUSTLE. AND THEN AS SOON AS WE FLIPPED IT OPEN AND STARTED FIRING AT THEM, THEY WERE MORTIFIED. >> NOW, IT LOOKS LIKE YOU RUINED URTHE COSE. >> James: AND? >> [ LAUGHS ] >> James: KID ROCK'S BIKE'S DONE. NOW I GOT TO BUST SOME ASS AND TRY TO FINISH MINE. THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE MAKING ENGLISH WHEELS AND STUFF NOW. I KIND OF LIKE TO THINK THAT THERE'S MORE PEOPLE USING THEM SINCE I DID "MOTORCYCLE MANIA 1." I'D LIKE TO THINK IF I CONTRIBUTED ANYTHING TO SOCIETY BESIDES, YOU KNOW, SETTING FIRE AND MAYHEM, THEN IT WOULD BE TO LET PEOPLE KNOW THAT, YOU KNOW, JUST PICK UP A PIECE OF METAL AND START DOING SOMETHING WITH IT. YOU'RE BUILDING A BIKE, BUILD IT TO YOUR VISION, NOT WHAT YOUR SKILLS ARE LIMITED TO. IF YOU'RE NOT SKILLED ENOUGH TO DO SOMETHING YOU WANT TO DO, PICK UP A BOOK OR BUY A VIDEO OR GO HANG OUT AT SOME OLD-TIMER'S SHOP LIKE I DID AND GET THE KNOWLEDGE. THE KEY IS WORK THE METAL. DON'T LET THE METAL WORK YOU. >> IT'S SWEET ON THE BACK. >> James: IT'S LIKE A VAN WHERE SOMEONE PAINTS A PICTURE OF THEIR JEEP ON THE DASH, YOU KNOW? >> YEAH. THAT'S TOTALLY BIG SEMITRUCK STYLE. >> James: [ LAUGHS ] >> WE'RE GONNA ROLL SATURDAY? THAT'S THE PLAN? PROBABLY GOT BEER HERE. THEN WE CAN STOP FOR A BEER HERE. PROBABLY STOP FOR TWO AT THE DEVIL'S Y.ALLYWA >> James: MY CHICK TOLD ME LAST NIGHT, "YOU BETTER NOT GO IN THE STRIP CLUBS." I SAID, "WHAT I'M I GONNA DO FOR FUN?" >> I HAVEN'T BEEN TO A STRIP CLUB IN, LIKE, TWO AND A HALF YEARS. I WAS KIND OF OVER IT, YOU KNOW? IF YOU'RE WITH SOMEONE, TOO, IT'S KIND OF DISRESPECTFUL, WITH YOUR GIRL HANGING OUT AT STRIP CLUBS AND WHATNOT. THAT'S NOT COOL. >> James: HIM AND I HAD THE INTERESTING PREDICAMENT OF -- IT'S PRETTY HARD TO UPGRADE FROM WHERE WE ARE. >> I GOT HIT BY CUPID. I THINK HE SHOT ME WITH A BAZOOKA. >> James: [ LAUGHS ] >> THEN I THINK HE WENT AND FOUND HIM. CAN WE FIRE THAT UP? [ WHISTLES ] >> STAY RIGHT HERE, OKAY? >> LET'S DRIVE IT. [ ENGINE TURNS OVER ] >> James: FEEL COOL? >> BADASS. THAT THING'S SWEET, MAN. SO EASY TO RIDE, TOO, MAN. >> James: LIKE POWER STEERING? WHAT ARE YOU DOING? >> [ SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY ] >> James: YOU SURE? ALL RIGHT. I GOT MY EYE ON YOU. I LOVE DELANEY. HE KEEPS ME HUMBLE. I THINK HE'S AN ASSET. I TREAT HIM JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE. YOU DON'T WORK HERE. I NEVER SEE YOU DOING NOTHING. ALL YOU DO IS STAND AROUND AND CHECK OUT CHICKS ALL DAY. >> [ LAUGHS ] >> James: YOU'RE, LIKE, PRETENDING TO WASH THE WINDOWS. GIRLS ARE COMING IN THE SHOWROOM. >> OH, YEAH! >> "YEP, I'M WORKING HARD. CLEANING THE SAME SPOT FOR 45 MINUTES." >> NO, THAT'S NOT TRUE. >> James: I BELIEVE IN EQUAL RIGHTS FOR EVERYONE, SPECIAL TREATMENT FOR NO ONE. I THOUGHT I WAS MEXICAN WHEN I GREW UP. I WAS THE ONLY WHITE KID. IF I WAS A RACIST GROWING UP, I WOULD HAVE DEFINITELY GOT THE CRAP BEAT OUT OF ME A LOT. I WOULD HAVE NEVER MADE IT. WE'D NEVER MAKE IT DOWN HERE. I'M THE FIRST PERSON TO EVER HAVE AN AD IN "EASYRIDERS" WITH A BLACK GUY IN IT. AND I GOT A LOT OF HATE MAIL FROM A LOT OF WHITE SUPREMACISTS IN PRISON AND STUFF LIKE THAT, TELLING ME, "YOU'RE BLOND HAIR AND BLUE EYES, AND YOU'RE DENYING YOUR ARYAN ROOTS AND ALL THIS STUFF BY HAVING A DAMN [BLEEP] ON YOUR -- IN YOUR AD, AND IT'S A DISGRACE TO THAT MAGAZINE," AND EVERYTHING. I THINK I GOT 30 OF THOSE. SO I SENT THEM ALL FREE SUBSCRIPTIONS TO "HOT CHOCOLATE." SINCE WE'RE A PROFESSIONAL SHOP, CHEVY SENT US A BRAND-NEW CORVETTE TO TEST-DRIVE FOR A ANWEEK, D THEN I HAVE TO GO ON THE RADIO AND GIVE A REVIEW OF IT. ARE THOSE PEOPLE THAT DROPPED IT OFF GONE YET? [ TIRES SCREECHING ] THE WHEELS FOR MY COPPER BIKE STARTED T AS JUSA SKETCH AND THEN WERE TRANSFERRED TO THE COMPUTER. ONCE THE PROGRAM WAS DONE, IT WAS SENT DOWN TO MY NEW STATE-OF-THE-ART CNC MACHINE. THE WHEELS WERE CUT OUT OF 400-POUND CHUNKS OF 6061 T6 AIRCRAFT-GRADE ALUMINUM. THE MACHINING PROCESS WOULD TAKE ONE WEEK PER WHEEL. THERE'S ONLY A COUPLE OTHER MACHINES LIKE THIS IN THE COUNTRY. MOST CNC MACHINES, THE PARTS STAY STATIONARY WHILE THE TOOL CUTS. THIS ONE, THE TOOL STAYS STATIONARY WHILE THE PART MOVES IN A 3-D PATTERN AROUND IT. THIS MACHINE ALLOWS ME TO DO 3-D CURVES AND CUTS AND MAKES THE PART LOOK LIKE IT'S ALMOST ORGANIC. >> LOOK AT THESE RIMS. >> James: THOSE ARE OUT OF SQUARE CHUNKS. >> YEAH? >> James: LIKE, A BIG SQUARE BLOCK. >> YOU CHROMING THEM? >> James: YEAH. SEE THAT ALL RIVETED TOGETHER? >> YEAH. YOU OUTDO YOURSELF EVERY TIME, BUDDY. >> James: WE JUST GOT MARRIED SEVEN MONTHS AGO. I'VE BEEN GOING BA FCK ANDORTH. >> I THINK WE BOTH DEFINITELY HAVE ISSUES. I'M NOT AN ANGEL, HE'S NOT AN ANGEL. >> James: IT'S KIND OF REACHED A PINNACLE WHERE WE WENT TO NEUTRAL CORNERS, AND SHE'S MOVED OUT AND IS LIVING AT HER PLACE, AND I'M LIVING IN MINE. >> WHEN HE GETS ANGRY, EVERYTHING BLOWS UP RIGHT THEN. YOU'D BETTER RUN. AND I'M NOT AN ANGRY PERSON. HE JUST PUSHES ALL THE RIGHT BUTTONS. NOW, IT'S JUST THE LAST STRAW. >> James: NOW THAT MY MARRIAGE WAS REALLY STARTING TO SUCK, I JUST WANTED TO STRAP MYSELF IN MY FIGURE-8 CAR AND SMASH ANYTHING THAT GOT IN MY WAY. >> AND BRINGING UP THE BACK OF THE PACK, IT'S JESSE JAMES IN THE HELL CAMINO. [ ENGINES REVVING ] SSE ISJAMES GOING IN... LOOKING TO PUT THE METAL TO THE FLOOR! BUT WAIT A MINUTE! WAIT A MINUTE! YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME! JESSS E JAMEJUST T-BONED ANOTHER O OPNENT! BUT IS HE ALL RIGHT, FRANK?! >> THE EMERGENCY CREW IS THERE! HERE COMES THE TRUCKS! >> AND THERE'S JESSE JAMES! HE'S ALL RIGHT, FOLKS. LOOK AT THE CROWD! THEY'RE GIVING HIM THE "MONSTER GARAGE" SALUTE! WE LOVE YOU! >> James: I SAT ON IT FOR ABOUT THREE OR FOUR WEEKS AND SAID, "WELL, SCREW HER, I DON'T NEED HER, AND THAT'S THAT. IT'S DONE, IT'S OVER," AND... YOU KNOW, WHEN I REALLY LOOK AT IT, MAN...I DON'T WANT TO BE WITH ANYBODY ELSE, YOU KNOW? I LOOK BACK TO THE WEDDING AND ALL THAT STUFF WE SAID AND DID AND LOOKED INTO EACH OTHER'S EYES AND COULDN'T WAIT TO GET MARRIED, YOU KNOW? WE TOTALLY JUST RIPPED IT APART AND BROUGHT IT AS LOW AS IT COULD POSSIBLY BE. JUST NEED TO SWALLOW MY PRIDE AND MAKE IT WORK. I'VE NEVER, EVER LOVED ANYBODY LIKE I LOVED HER AND STILL LOVE HER. I WOULDN'T HAVE GOT THAT RIGHT THERE WHERE I HAVE TO LOOK AT IT -- NOT ON MY CHEST, NOT ON MY LEG, NOT ON MY BACK, NOT ON MY SHOULDER. I GOT IT RIGHT THERE SO EVERY DAY, I COULD LOOK AT THAT. THAT'S, YOU KNOW... YOU KNOW, I GOT HER NAME, HORSESHOE, NAUTICAL STAR, AND A GOOD LUCK CHARM. THE HORSESHOE IS FOR OUR KIDS, NAUTICAL STAR IS FOR OUR MARRIAGE, AND THE FOUR-LEAF CLOVER IS JUST FOR GOOD LUCK, JUST FOR EVERYTHING. I FEEL IT BUILDING MOMENTUM AGAIN. I GOTTITA FIX . I TTA BE BACK WITH MY WIFE. >> ♪ AND REST YOUR SOUL JUST LIKE THE ROSES AT YOUR FEET ♪ >> James: GOTTA JUMP ON A PLANE TONIGHT AND GO TO D.C., THEN LEAVE AT 4:30 IN THE MORNING FOR KUWAIT CITY WITH BOBBY. HE'S DOING THAT USO TOUR, AND I'M SNEAKING OVER. THEY LIED AND SAID I WAS HIS TOUR MANAGER. SO I'M JUST GONNA GO OVER THERE. THERE'S THESE HOMEBOYS THAT PAINTED A BIG WEST COAST CHOPPERS LOGO ON THIS TANK OVER THERE, AND I WANT TO GO FIND THEM AND TELL THEM "THANKS." I NEED TO GO OVER AND PUT THAT HAND IN THEIRS AND SAY, "MAN, THANKS." [ INDISTINCT SHOUTING ] >> JESSE JAMES! [ CHEERING ] >> [ SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY ] I PUT HIM DOWN AS MY TOUR MANAGER. SAY "WHAT'S UP?" TO JESSE JAMES. [ CHEERING ] >> I WANT TO GET A PICTURE, NOW! >> James: I DIDN'T REALIZE HOW YOUNG THEM KIDS ARE. THEY GOT A SPECIAL OPS GUY, WE MET HIM. HE'S COOL. HE'S, LIKE, THE BADDEST DUDE OVER THERE, AND HE'S, LIKE, 21. [ LAUGHS ] LIKE, BABY FACE. GIRLS AND, LIKE, LOADED DOWN WITH BIG GUNS... IT'S CRAZY. >> WE'RE WALKING DOWN THE STREET WHEN THIS DUDE COMES RUNNING OUT OF HIS TENT, STARTS JUMPING UP AND DOWN. "I KNEW IT WAS YOU! I TOLD MY BUDDIES! THERE HE IS!" THE OTHER ONE GOES, "WHO, THE GENERAL?" "NO, KID ROCK'S WALKING DOWN THE STREET!" THAT'S THE BEST FEELING IN THE WORLD. MAKES ME FEEL GOOD, AND IT MAKES THEM FEEL EVEN BETTER TO SEE ANYBODY FROM HOME DRESSED IN PLAIN CLOTHES. THEY WERE EXCITED TO SEE ANYBODY. >> James: IT WAS PRETTY HEAVY. >> YOU COULD TELL HOW MUCH THAT MUSIC -- THEY WERE SCREAMING IT, LIKE, KNEW EVERY SINGLE WORD. >> James: THEY GOT NOTHING. ALL THEY GOT IS, LIKE, A KID ROCK CD OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DESERT. >> James: IS THAT ENOUGH ROOMM FOR YOU? >> TO GET MY BIG BUTT ON THERE? >> James: AFTER IRAQ, I HEADED STRAIGHT BACK TO JANINE. >> OH, I DON'T KNOW. >> James: I HAD TO DIG DOWN DEEP AND TRY TO FIGURE OUT A WAY TO WORK THIS MARRIAGE OUT. >> IT'S A LEARNING PROCESS ON MY PART FOR BEING WITH SOMEBODY LIKE HIM, YOU KNOW? >> HIM? >> HIM. SOMEONE LIKE HIM. HE'S NOT A PIECE OF CAKE. HIM AND WHAT HE'S GOT GOING ON IS, YOU KNOW, IT'S -- LOT OF DIFFICULTIES. JESSE, ARE YOU GONNA GO TO THERAPY? I'VE BEEN TWICE. >> James: I GOT ALL THE THERAPY I NEED...RIGHT HERE. >> THAT'S STUPID. >> WHEN IS YOUR COURT DATE? >> I DON'T KNOW. I THINK THEY'RE GONNA POSTPONE IT AND JUST DRAG IT ALONG AND HOPEFULLY IT WILL FADE AWAY. >> IT'S FOR SPOUSAL ABUSE, RIGHT? >> YES. YES. THIS IS FOR, YOU KNOW, OUR BIG BLOWOUT, AND, YOU KNOW -- HELL, I SAW IT ON TV SHOWS WHERE THE GIRL CAN PICK UP A POT AND THROW IT AT HER HUSBAND AND THEY DIDN'T GET IN TROUBLE. HEAVEN FORBID I THROW A POT. >> WHAT -- OH... >> THAT'S WHAT HE DOES. DO IT. DO IT. [ LAUGHS ] NO. IT WILL BE -- WE WILL GET THIS UNDER CONTROL. STOP. >> ISN'T THIS KIND OF A REVERSAL? IT'S USUALLY THE MAN. >> NO, NO. NOW, HE'S WICKED WITH HIS TONGUE, YOU KNOW, IN A GOOD WAY AND A BAD WAY. STOP! >> James: [ LAUGHS ] >> STOP IT! DON'T! I'M PREGNANT, DON'T. NO TICKLING PREGNANT GIRLS. NOBODY'S SAFE WITH JESSE, WHETHER EMPLOYEE OR FAMILY OR WIFE OR ANYBODY. NOBODY'S SAFE FROM THE WRATH OF JESSE. WHEN HE GETS MAD, YOU KNOW, YOU BETTER RUN. AND THAT'S -- THAT'S NOT A GOOD THING. THAT'S NOT GOOD. >> James: MAN, THE SRTER YOU MAKE THAT, THE COOLER IT LOOKS. MAKING SOMETHING THAT LOOKS ANTIQUEY, BUT WILL SCARE THE HELL OUT OF EVERYONE. IT'S KIND OF A MODERN-LOOKING CHOPPER BUT WITH A LOT OF OLD WAYS OF MAKING EVERYTHING, LIKE RIVETING IT AND STUFF LIKE THAT. I USUALLY, WHEN I GET TO A POINT LIKE THIS WHERE I CAN START VISUALIZING THE END, IT'S LIKE A FEVER PITCH. AFTER ALL THAT WORK ON THAT SADDLEBAG... AND I DITCHED IT. I DON'T KNOW. I KIND OF PUT IT UP THERE. I'LL NEVER PUT SOMETHING ON A BIKE OR CAR AND JUSTIFY IT PUTTING IT ON FOR TIME SPENT OR MONEY SPENT. IF IT LOOKS LIKE CRAP, IT LOOKS LIKE CRAP. IF IT DOESN'T MAKE IT GO FAST OR STOP FAST, THEN FORGET IT. WE ONLY HAD A FEW DAYS BEFORE WE HAD TO SPLIT TO MEXICO, AND I STILL HAD TO MAKE A COOL SET OF PIPES. SEE, I MAKE THESE COOL RINGS SO YOU CAN DO AN INNER AND OUTER BEND THAT MATCH PERFECT. A LOT OF PEOPLE TRY TO COPY OUR EXHAUST, BUT THEY DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT LOOK, YOU KNOW? 'CAUSE I MAKE THESE RINGS...AND THE BENDS MATCH, THE INNER AND OUTER MATCH PERFECTLY. GIVE US A LITTLE EDGE ON EVERYBODY ELSE UNTIL THEY SEE THIS SHOW. EVERYBODY COULD ALWAYS COPY THE STUFF I ALREADY DID FIRST. THAT'S WHY I SHOULD MAKE THIS ALL RUSTED AND TARNISHED 'CAUSE NO ONE WILL FOLLOW ME THERE. MAKING PIPES IS LIKE A BIG GAME OF LEGOS, EXCEPT THERE'S NO INSTRUCTIONS, AND YOU GOTTA MAKE ALL YOUR OWN PIECES. ONCE YOU USE A MACHINE FOR SO LONG, IT'S GOT TO HAVE SOME CHARACTER AND SOME BUILT-IN SOUL TO IT, SO IT'S GONNA TAKE THAT SOUL THAT IT HAS AND ADD IT TO THE THING YOU'RE MAKING. THAT BLACK MACHINE OVER THERE CAME OUT OF A FOKKER AIRCRAFT FACTORY. THAT'S THE FACTORY THAT MADE THE RED BARON'S PLANE...THE O.G. MALTESE CROSS GUY. SO THAT CAN'T NOT BE COOL, YOU KNOW? TO ME, MAKING A BIKE IS LIKE AN EXTENSION OF MY PERSONALITY. YOU CAN LOOK AT A BIKE AND TELL A LOT ABOUT A PERSON JUST BY THE WAY THE BIKE IS BUILT. MY COPPER BIKE WAS ALMOST DONE, BUT I'D HAVE TO WORK ALL NIGHT TO GET IT FINISHED. WHEW! I'M EXHAUSTED.I' I THINK I GOT IT WHOOPED. IT'S A PRETTY BAD-LOOKING BIKE RIGHT THERE...IF I DON'T SAY SO MYSELF. [ LAUGHS ] I'M ALLOWED. AND NOW, THE FINAL PART. I HAD VICTOR MAKE ME A PURE COPPER SEAT PAN. PERFECT. WHEN I STAND BACK RIGHT NOW AND LOOK AT THIS BIKE AND SQUINT AND LIKE, IMAGINE MYSELF SCREAMING DOWN THE FREEWAY AND, LIKE, PEOPLE FLINCHING WHEN I GO BY AND -- THAT'S WHERE IT'S AT. [ ENGINE REVVING ] I REAL'TLY DON THINK A BIKE IS FISHED Y UNTILETOU G ON IT AND RIDET. I [ ENGINE TURR NS OVE] IT TOOK A YEAR, BUT FINALLY THE BIKE WAS DONE. AND NOW I'M HEADING OUT OF LONG BEACH, GOING STRAIGHT FOR MEXICO. I'VE BEEN EVERYWHERE IN THE STATES. I'VE BEEN EVERYWHERE IN EUROPE, JAPAN, THAILAND. I JUST WANT TO GO SOMEPLACE DIFFERENT. WE RODE THROUGH EL PASO AND CROSSED OVER IN JUAREZ, MEXICO. OUR FIRST STOP IN MEXICO WAS SOME SAND DUNES NORTH OF CHIHUAHUA. THAT WAS GOOD. EVERY MOVIE SHOULD BE MADE LIKE THIS. WE'LL JUST HAVE FUN, AND YOU GUYS FILM IT. WHEN I SAW THE FEDERALES COMING UP THE DUNES CARRYING MINI-14s, I THOUGHT IT WAS ALL OVER. BUT IN MEXICO, EVEN THE COPS KNOW WHAT'S FUN. [ GUNSHOTS ] >> THERE YOU GO. [ GUNSHOTS ] >> James: WHO GOT THAT BOTTLE? I DIDN'T SEE IT. >> BOBBY. >> James: NO, YOU DIDN'T, DID YOU? >> I THINK I GOT IT. >> James: I THINK I DID. >> ROLL THE TAPE. [ LAUGHTER ] >> James: AFTER A LITTLE "R" AND "R" IN THE DESERT, WE LET OUR CHOPPERS RUN OUT A BIT... STRAIGHT SOUTH TO CHIHUAHUA. >> James: WE'RE IN CHIHUAHUA. I'M ON A SERIOUS HUNT FOR SOME MARIACHI PANTS. WOW. THAT'S NEAT. >> [ SPEAKING SPANISH ] >> [ SPEAKING SPANISH ] >> James: DAMN! >> WHICH ONE? >> James: ...ACTION. HEY, RICKY. [ CHILDREN GIGGLING ] >> James: DO YOU WANT TO RIDE THAT? HERE. GET UP THERE. CAN YOU GET UP THERE? HERE. [ UP-TEMPO MUSIC PLAYS ] >> [ CRYING ] [ CAR BEEPING ] >> James: WHOA. HERE, HOLD ON. OH, COME ON. IT'S OKAY. YOU OKAY? HUH? THAT'S NO BUENO? NADA? YOU DON'T LIKE THAT? NOW WE'RE PRETTY FAR FROM THE BORDER. MOST OF THE PEOPLE DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO THE HELL WE ARE, BUT WE WERE STILL GETTING MOBBED. I THINK THEY JUST THOUGHT WE WERE BIG AND WEIRD-LOOKING... OR SOCCER STARS. IT'S COOL? YEAH. YEAH. >> ...POSSESSED. >> James: [ LAUGHS ] UNIVERSAL MEET AND GREET. YOU HUNGRY? >> ♪♪ WHOA, WHOA, WHOA ♪ >> Jes: WE HEADED OUT OF CHIHUAHUA DUE WEST FOR THE MOUNTAINS AND COPPER CANYON. BUT FIRST WE NEEDED TO FUEL UP WITH SOME REAL AUTHENTIC MEXICAN FOOD. >> ♪♪ IT'S GOOD TO BE BACK ♪ ♪♪ IT'S GOOD TO BE BACK ♪ >> SOME NICE PEOPLE. >> James: YEAH, EVERYBODY'S SMILING AND HAPPY. YOU LOOK AT L.A., EVERYBODY'S PISSED AND POKER-FACED. >> REMINDS ME OF BACK HOME LIKE 25 YEARS AGO OR SOMETHING -- RIDING IN TH OE BACKF YOUR DAD'S PICKUP TRUCK. NOWADAYS, YOU SEE A KID IN THE BACK OF A PICKUP TRUCK... >> James: YOU'RE CALLING FOR CHILD PROTECTIVE SERVICES. >> THEY TAKE YOUR KID AND YOUR TRUCK. >> James: YEAH. >> ME AND JESSE JUST KIND OF -- WE THINK A LOT THE SAME. WE'RE KIND OF RIGHT THERE WITH EACH OTHER JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING, ABOUT LIFE. OUR BACKGROUNDS ARE SO MUCH THE SAME. I MEAN, SO MUCH THE SAME -- JUST THE WAY WE KIND OF CAME UP THE LADDER. BOTH OF US WENT THROUGH IT JUST GROUND LEVEL UP. NOBODY HANDED US ANYTHING. I LIKE TO SAY SELF-MADE LIKE HENRY FORD. KEEP YOUR FEET ON THE GROUND. IT'S IMPORTANT. >> James: GOT A MUTUAL RESPECT FOR EACH OTHER. KIND OF TUNED IN TO EACH OTHER'S PERSONALITIES, AND IT'S COOL. IT'S LIKE A BROTHER FROM A DIFFERENT MOTHER. >> WE UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER. I STILL HAVE ALL THE FRIENDS I GREW UP WITH, BUT SOMETIMES IT'S HARD TO RELATE TO THOSE PEOPLE WITH WHERE I'VE BEEN AND WHAT I'VE SEEN. IT'S NOT THAT I'M ANY BETTER THAN THEM, BUT IT'S JUST A REALITY OF DOING WHAT WE DO. YOU GET LAUNCHED INTO THIS TORNADO OF SUCCESS AND WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT. IT'S DIFFERENT. GOT IT PRETTY GOOD. >> James: WE CAN USE THAT TO PATCH THE TANK IF IT GETS A HOLE IN IT. I GOT EXTRA METAL IN THE VAN. >> WHAT'S UP, MAN? >> James: IT'S COOL. YOU MAKE -- YOU? >> UH-HUH. >> SAME THING. >> James: HE'S GONNA GO HOME LIKE, "HONEY, YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED TODAY. I WAS STANDING THERE, AND ONE GUY...CAME UP AND HAD A BIKE MADE OUT OF SOME OF MY POTS AND PANS. AND HE LOOKED LIKE EL DIABLO." [ LAUGHS ] LET'S ROLL. [ ENGINE TURNS OVER ] ABOUT 100 MILES OUT OF CHIHUAHUA, WE FINALLY STARTED RUNNING INTO PEOPLE THAT DIDN'T KNOW WHO WE WERE AND REALLY DIDN'T CARE. WHAT'S THE NAME OF THIS CITY? >> CUAUHTéMOC CITY. >> James: CUAUHTéMOC? CUAUHTéMOC CITY? ...COPPER CANYON? >> HOW FAR IS COPPER CANYON? >> MAYBE FOUR HOURS. >> FOUR HOURS? >>ames: YOU LIKE RAP MUSIC OR HIP-HOP? >> NOT MUCH. I LIKE ROCK 'N' ROLL. >> James: YOU LIKE KID ROCK. HE'S OKAY. I THINK WE'VE FINALLY DONE IT. WE'VE OFFICIALLY GOT LOST. I WAS, LIKE, RIDING INTO HEAVEN. >> IT WAS GODLIKE. I WAS SITTING AT THE RIGHT HAND OF THE FATHER. >> James: I COULD HAVE GONE -- LIKE, RODE THAT PARTICULAR ROAD THROUGH THE REST OF MY LIFE THE WAY THAT SUN WAS SHINING THROUGH THE CLOUD. FELT LIKE I WAS CONNECTED, YOU KNOW? LIKE IT HAD VEINS AND HANDLEBARS GOING INTOND MY HAS. MY BLOOD WAS CIRCULATING THROUGH IT AS I WAS GOING. THE FASTER I WENT, THE FASTER MY HEART PUMPED. THE SLOWER I WENT, THE MORE RELAXED IT WAS, AND IT WAS INDIRECT REFLECTION. MOTOR RPMs WERE IN TUNE WITH MY HEART RATE, AND IT WAS PART OF ME. IT WAS GOOD. IT'S KIND OF PEACEFUL HERE. KIND OF MAKES YOU THINK WHEN WE RIDE, IF YOU, LIKE, CRASH OR SOMETHING OUT HERE, THERE'S NO 9-1-1. YOU JUST LAY THERE AND DIE, BLEED TO DEATH. THAT WAS A GOOD DAY TODAY, THOUGH. >> OH, MAN, WAS IT EVER. >> James: WE FINALLY MADE IT TO COPPER CANYON AT ABOUT 3:00 IN THE MORNING. JUST A FEW HOURS LATER, THE SUN WAS ALREADY STARTING TO RISE. >> JANINE WOULD BE HAVING A SPAZ ATTACK RIGHT NOW. SHE'D BE, LIKE, CONVULSING. NOW I'M AWE, DAMN IT. I'M REALLY NOT INTO IT. I DON'T KNOW WHY. I LIKE THE CITY. PART OF ME THINKS, LIKE, GRAFFITI'SIF BEAUTTHUL, OUGH. IF MY CHICK WAS HERE, IT'D BE BETTER. I'LL PROBABLY GET IN TROUBLE FOR EVEN SEEING IT WITHOUT HER. ALL RIGHT, GET THE [BLEEP] OUT. CHECK IT OUT, HOMES. >> LET ME SEE THAT. >> James: 40 BUCKS. ALL RIGHT, YOUR TURN. COME ON, KID." "ROCK [ LAUGHS ] THINK YOU'D DIE IF YOU FELL OFF HERE?

I'M SURE IT'S GONNA MAKE IT ONTO A CD OR COMING OUT SOME SPEAKERS SOMEWHERE ONE DAY. >> DO YOU HAVE ANOTHER BIKE IN MIND? >> James: I DON'T KNOW. I THINK THIS IS IT FOR ME FOR A LITTLE WHILE. THIS THING RE AN LIKA CHAMP. THAT'S WHY I BUILT IT 'CAUSE I THOUGHT ABOUT RIDING IT AND DOING SOME OF THE RIDES LIKE WE HAD DONE. I DIDN'T THINK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, ENTERING IT IN SOME STUPID SHOW OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND LETTING SIX PEOPLE TELL ME MY BIKE'S COOL OR NOT. JUST RIDE IT. I BUILT IT FOR ME.
