Hey Jesse, I've got a CFL frame with a F'd up motor mount I've never been able to complete the build. Any possiblity of getting any help with it? Didn't really want just any jack-leg effin with my shit. I'm just down the road in San Antonio
Whats wrong with the motor mount? You know my fixtures were made so it was impossible to build a frame with the motor mounts out of wack. Did somebody fuck with it?
But do you do yoga??? That's life-changing!
I’ve tried Yoga. I really thought I would hate it, But I loved it! Bikram is a little crazy though! I really need to do it more. Puts me in a good place.

Hey Jesse I'm building a custom bike, and on the girder front end, what kind of bushings for the links would you recommend? Thanks
If its an old girder? You might have to machine some new bushings out of brass. You can get bushing material that has oil impregnated in it from McMastcer Carr That works great!
Do you practice meditation?
Yes I do guided Meditation, and I practice Active Meditation when I’m in the groove working.

I need help. I'll take any advice. I started this a business this year. Slinging parts / trying to do some builds. You've been a huge inspiration.
I'm running (or I've run) out of steam.

When you feel like you are running out of steam. That’s the time to throttle down! Success is just simple math. Just work more hours in a week/month/ year than the motherfucker that is trying to take your business. I sold Shaq his bike because I was at the shop working on Christmas day and he just happened to call. I was there. Laziness equals missed opportunities.
Does it ever bother you that so many people want to watch your life?
They are all just speculators. Nobody but me knows what it’s really like to walk in these size thirteens.
Hi Jesse
My dad has a custom 51 panhead with a 1934 ford spare tire carrier for a fender. He bought the tank for it and got ripped off. Turned out to be mexican medal (pot medal). Can you make him a new tank and fender? The tank has some brackets welded on it. He has a 69 camaro hust shifter he uses with his baker (n1) shifter. He just cant find any good welders to work on it and I would like to surprise him. I told him Ill get jesse to fix it and he laughed at me. Its a real cool bike and has a ZZTOP Shot glass for a tail light. He busts his ass for us and works alot of 12 hour shifts. Thanks Shayna Shackelford
Sounds like a cool bike, and an even cooler dad!
Reputation is what other people think they know about you. Honour is what you know about yourself. To thine own self be true, as the saying goes. I don't know you personally, but I have always thought highly of you. You are a very talented hard working man. Not afraid to get his hands dirty, or to hold his hand up and admit his mistakes. Your a great dad and your kids clearly adore you. Fuck the haters. Your a good person :-)
Those kids are my world!
Great book! "American Outlaw" loved the title. I got it in the mail a couple days ago and couldn't put it down. Some of your quotes have stuck with me since reading it and I have to say its as real as real can get.
Thanks Man. It really means a lot that you were able to take something away from it. Fuck the Money and Fuck the media. I just wanted to do something that would make some kind of difference.
