If you like Jesse’s custom bikes and parts and if you are into guns, make a pit stop at his display downtown Sturgis.
Jesse tells me he will be on location from this coming Monday August 3rd to Thursday the 6th from 2 p.m. to whatever time his schedule and mood decide…
Jesse’s display will be at 1601 Lazelle Street (just across JP Cycles) next to the big Corbin Seats semi.
JJ, a great role model for the gun movement. Calm, cool, reserved, STABLE, and even tempered. ..Z
Dear Cyril, I think that in a country where there’s so many problems because of guns, it would be a wise idea to stick to what your blog is supposed to offer: custom motorbike news…
Artistry in metal…the problem ain’t guns,it’s people…….
If only he knew how to actually shoot. Ever seen him in that video with Kidd Rock? Pretty much everything I teach people NOT to do.
Time for a national open carry law (like the state law in AZ). Enough of being sitting ducks for every idiot loser who had a rough childhood, subscribes to some terrorists group or religious fanatics or is depressed and they took his meds away. If these vermin of society knew they were facing a movie theater full of people who were carrying…they might get off one or two shots before they were taken out thereby saving many lives and many people from serious injury. Same with teachers…open carry saves lives (children and adults)! Good for you, Jesse and Cyril! Keep it coming and get behind a national open carry law!
wonder if jesse could improve his brand image by doing away with the lowbrow iron cross symbol?
RE:
“…a country where there’s so many problems because of guns …”
Unless Google comes up with “An autonomous Gun” (to complement their autonomous car) you’ll find it hard to blame “so many problems because of guns.”
Try blaming the idiots who use guns improperly.
Otherwise you may find yourself being mistaken for a bed-wetting Progressive Leftist.
(at least here, by people like me)
-nicker-
..Brave,
Perhaps if JJ had spent some time in Boot-camp he would-a-been better equipped to manage his guns…. ???
-nicker-
Nicely said nicker!
Refreshing to see JJ is still a tossa and pumping out the same old rubbish that we have come to expect from him.
Looks like Jesse has gone from days of built by hand to built by cnc. Tank is real craftsmanship. Just like the saying goes, stick with what you know and do best. The work on the guns is beginner stuff compared to what some of the actual gun craftsman are doing out there and have been doing since Jesse was still sucking on his mommas titty…
Roberto, well said. It’s not the guns it’s the people. ie: JJ
Right on Franklin I like the way you think as far as lowrider I think it’s more about the artwork and the guns
Yawn. I wonder if that tank was built by Faye Butler like the last copper tank?
the current gun loopholes should be fixed. 2 right off the top are:
1. private citizen sales &
2. some gun shows are allowed to sell guns without the same regulations
Until loop holes are closed and technology is put to use to make cumbersome checks of criminal history (like the recent FBI snafu) a thing of the past, then guns & people are problems.
Doug,
Every “problem” know to mankind, at its roots, is due to “people.”
Lets face it, there are just too bloody many of us alive today.
Trust me, you won’t like “the fix”…….
-nicker-
That copper gas tank is sweet!
Yep the problem is not guns it is people
Never let the government “fix” things. All they do is eff it up worse than before.
Like the old saying goes, “I’m from the government and I’m here to Help”.
Gun control is a farce. The open carry law would be best, I just can’t see getting it by all the lib-turds.
Up in Northern N.H., about an hour North of Laconia, everybody is wearing handguns. When you walk into a Bar, it looks like the day Wild Bill Hickcock, was shot in Deadwood, S.D.
@nicker – true, humans create problems, but we solve problems too. Assholes getting guns via loopholes & lack of technology (to efficiently check criminal history), are problems that can be solved for the betterment of everyone (pro gun & pro gun control)
Doug,
RE:
“…but we solve problems too…”
Humans are good at solving discreet problems, but piss poor at solving those that become more complex. The economy is a great example. None of the experts “really” know how it works, they simply guess and focus on one aspect they think they understand enough to manipulate, like interest rates.
However, humans are great at recognizing and acting on discreet (binary) events. And that’s why we have the Vernier Principal. We’re bad at judging how far apart stuff is but we can tell exactly when it line up. That’s how we read calipers and micrometers (those of us who still know how to do that without the aid of a digital readout).
Simply put, we can solve our own individual problems far more easily than we can solve everyone else’s. Per boston jim, that’s probably why NH allows of carry permits. Everyone is on their best behavior and not as tempted to think they can dictate terms or take on others without “significant and instant ramifications.”
Gene-pool load leveling.
-nicker-
a whack job with a gun might find the scenario of everyone being armed more interesting. Your assumptions when using that scenario is that a whack job (who is intent on killing & most likely dying*) is going to use reason. Someone (or more) will still lose their lives in that scenario no matter how many are armed.
piss poor at solving complex problems?
Medical & Space are just 2 fields that refute that comment
*surely, you’ve noticed that more times than not, an insane person going on a rampage typically commits suicide so, going to a place where everyone is armed to commit their crime is not a deterrent. Most importantly, arming everyone will not stop this type of scenario in the future, either. However, solving the above 2 loophole problems will stop some.
Ahhhyessss, more crap from JJ for the “beautiful people” and those with more money than brains, which is usually one in the same. Agree with Heavy Metal…Yawn…
Seems That Jesse Is Doing Pretty Good Without A Bunch of Nit Pickers Trying to Tell Him What He Should Do??
Doug is correct. It’s common sense. All you need to do is read the newspaper and it’s obvious the wrong people are getting guns and killing innocents.
Hey Cryil
Thanks so much for posting this. Great seeing you today man!
…and for all you pussies that have opinions about what I do. You all have the same things in common.
(1) You are all never going to buy anything from me.
(2) You and never met me or spent any time around me.
(3) You are all on here “Talking” about then stuff I’m actually getting my hands dirty doing.
So have a good time with all that.
jesse james
Love the craftsmanship in your bikes. Anyone that has a once of knowledge has seem the handwork you put into your bike Jesse. Sadly opinionated A-holes will always seek the opportunity to try to beat down a man that has made a success of himself. I admire the situations you’ve overcome. Not a single one of us is without flaws. Your just man enough to not let them define you. Keep punding that metal and creating beautiful bikes. I for one would be honored to ride one or your creations.
Doug…… at least that whack job that goes into a theater wont be shooting fish in a barrel because those fish will be shooting back! I’ll take my chances with that scenario any day of the week!
Richards… Do you really think the wrong people wont be able to get guns if there are more restrictions in place? Never underestimate the ability of a crazy person or someone who believes strongly enough in something that is willing to die for.
@ Jesse James,
You are absolutely right, man.
Thanks!
well said JJ
Bikes are made for riding, guns for killing! Let’s get back to the purpose of Cyril’s web site and talk about custom motorcycle news…
jesse james…was waiting for the reply…good on you. see you at the track soon. lets burn some nitro..and the faye butler comment? some one grew up in western mass,,,lol
@Scott K – you missed the point. A crazy person will still be shooting fish in a barrel if he walks into a crowded place of people carrying guns. You’ll duck for cover while reaching for your gun, but there’s no difference if you’re the unfortunate ones who were in his initial line of sight regardless if you carry a gun or not.
You’re wrong about the measures that can stop the wrong people from getting a gun. Sure, it’s not going to be 100% but there are asinine loopholes that do no one any good (on both sides of the argument))
Better to have a gun and not need one,as opposed to needing it and not having it………
Lowrider Larry, do you have a lot of sand in your vagina? Sounds like you are one of those guys that ride a moped around town.
Jesse glad to have you in our state again, you are always welcome here.
Jesse’s the best. Period.
@ JJ, you’re still willing to work for a living. Puts you ahead of a lot of folks I have met.
@roberto – it is about stopping the deranged & felons from getting guns, not repealing the 2nd Amendment!!!
If you’re not one of the people that fall into that category, then do you want to stop those people from getting them at a gun show or from a private citizen who is not obligated to run a check?
—–
Respect to those murdered at the CO movie theater….Their murders should help explain that any public situation is dangerous if we do not close gun loopholes. If you’re in that situation, you will be killed the same way if you’re fate runs across a deranged person equipped with a gun, regardless if you are carrying one or not.
“Out of my cold dead hands” – right, you’ll be dead if the deranged picks you first. Keep your guns & keep them out of the hands of those that don’t respect life.
@Devin Sinner – you might want to ask Jesse James what he thinks of the vintage Vespas. He has spoken highly of its aesthetic design (rightfully so).
You know … having an old man who was a gunsmith , my having shot guns of every kind since the age of six not to mention having a drawer full of NRA , Trap & Skeet etc medals and merit badges seeing JJ’s hand engraved hand guns brings a smile to my face .
But seeing that assault rifle knowing its sole purpose and intent is to kill other humans sends a cold shiver up my spine and a welling of hatred against anyone in support of the general public owning such weapons . So AMEN to Doug [ in CO having dealt with Aurora , Columbine Arapahoe HS etc ] and especially to LowRiderLarry . Hear hear I say and preach it brothers seeing as how if we don’t we’ll be preaching at someones funeral instead .
But more importantly . Can we please just stick to motorcycles , custom or otherwise ?
But one more in closing to Roberto . All bets are if confronted regardless whether you’re armed or not you’d freeze and then having your own gun used against you which is the case 90% of the time
Gun loopholes. Pure liberal minded talking point pablum. So if I want to sell, trade or give one of my (scratch that, they all fell out of my boat….) lawfully obtained firearms to my Marine son, Navy brother or Army dad I need to do a background check? Really? Or my neighbor or shooting buddy? Yeah, that will curb the violence. And I have yet to visit a gunshow where a NICS check was not done.
Do you really think the vermin that live among us will follow your newly proposed “loophole” ending laws? Please. Go visit Chicago.
And why don’t these deranged scumbags target shooting ranges? Hmmmm……
Sorry, I know this is a bike site. Soapbox put away.
NoH2oh – throw your hands up. There’s so many illegal guns that we can’t help ourselves or future generations. You’re wrong about assumptions that nothing can make a positive impact on keeping guns out of the wrong hands AND you’re wrong that gun control is always a liberal talking point.
What you’ve described with gun ownership transfer is about the same (maybe easier?) than that of vehicle ownership transfer, depending on the vehicle.
Yeah, the scenario of guns falling out of a boat should concern you since you’re responsible for them. If you feel compelled to report them lost to exonerate you from future ballistic evidence, then why is it so difficult to comprehend private citizen transfer?
Just because you’ve never not seen a NICS check done at a gun show doesn’t mean the loophole still doesn’t exist. The SC church massacre could have been avoided if the cumbersome criminal checks didn’t exist.
Do I think the scum will follow the laws? Hell no. I even said above that it won’t be 100% but it will certainly slow and possibly prohibit more and more. The evidence (since the Brady bill passed) supports the efforts so far. Even if we slow the process of the deranged or criminals getting a gun, we give everyone a chance….a chance the police is looking for.
btFw….by your logic, we shouldn’t pass any laws because, well, hell….the scum won’t follow them anyway
@ TJ Martin – thanks for your kind remarks
Jesse’s guns, like his bikes, are different and show a lot of craftsmanship and creativity and a strong grasp of metallurgy. Go build some sh!t and you’ll appreciate it a lot more. To you communists advocating disarming a free people for “safety” think about what you are saying man. That’s like advocating for a ban on choppers because so many dudes wad them up. If it only saves one life right? For your safety, from now on we will only be able to ride bone stock bikes with abs and airbags. Ban assault bikes! It’s for the children.
No one said disarming free people. Fckin’ read it again. You’re dead if you’re the unlucky bastard that is the first to be in line of sight of a deranged person no matter if you have your gun on you or not.
What’s so fckn’ hard? No one said to take my gun away from me or yours (assuming you’re of a sane mind and not a felon)
Doug… I might be dead because I was shot at first but somebody might take him out before he can unload a clip into a bunch of unarmed people therefore saving more people from being killed. you keep saying i’m wrong or we are wrong ……PROVE IT with something more than just your opinion. Just so there is no hard feelings if you and I were in the same place and you are crouching on the floor and you were the next one some crazy person was about shoot I would do my best to take him out before that happened, and maybe just maybe there would be one less body bag.
Sick in the head is sick in the head, if it’s not a gun someone determined to inflict injury or death will find a way. We’ve seen them use cars to take out a crowd, bombs either by mail or cars bombs, chemicals, etc, etc,. Where there is a will there is a way!
Scott K – appreciate the cover in the hypothetical nightmare. I’ll do the same for you & anyone. That is beside the point, though. The movie theater example proved lives will still be lost in the ensuing chaos. Most importantly, this isn’t about banning guns.
I defend the 2nd Amendment, so this is not about those of us that are sane citizens legally carrying guns. It is about closing loopholes to stop those that have no responsible reason to possess a gun. (which will be better for everyone sooner or later)
Prove it? – the studies do find it difficult to find numerical reduction in gun homicides (unless you read the Brady site).
Suicidal gun actions were found to be reduced.
What the studies do not find difficult to identify are the “gaping” loopholes for gun transfers via gun show loop holes & private sales, which is what I’ve been talking about.
From a Duke Univ study, “…the requirements of the Brady Act only cover gun sales by licensed gun dealers, and exempt sales by non-dealers – the so-called secondary gun market, which accounts for 30-40% of all gun transfers in the United States every year and an even larger share of guns used in crime. This unregulated secondary gun market is a gaping loophole in the Brady Act.”
approaching half of gun transfers in the USA are unregulated…i.e. we don’t know who has access to many of those guns. That resonates.
Wow, alot of press out of a couple paragraphs. Guess guns are a hot button.
Nice to see JJ’s bikes with spokes.
RE:
“…Suicidal gun actions were found to be reduced…”
“…the Brady Act only cover gun sales by license…”
-1- Suicide has been illegal for a long time (it is what it is).
-2- (other than Muslim Terrorists) How many people exactly are being threatened by the suicidal…???
-3- And when existing legislation kike Brady is found not to be enough, more will be piled on (and so down the slippery slope we go).
JJ’s in business to sell a legal product. He works. He pays taxes. That’s how the system works.
There is no “hot-button”….. just yammering and hand wringing.
-nicker-
And here starts the slippery slope:
“…coming to do an inspection and confiscate his guns…”
A matter of a small check mark in a box
Last January, Mr. Arnold had a stroke. When the VA filed the paperwork, a box was checked that said he was incompetent to handle his own finances, a situation that he denies. A small check mark and poof your guns can be confiscated.
Veteran’s Affairs uses the criteria that if a veteran does not handle their own financial matters, that is grounds for confiscation of their guns. (Which is a criteria now being proposed for Seniors on Social Security.).
http://unclesamsmisguidedchildren.com/idaho-veteran-told-his-guns-to-be-confiscated-not-so-fast-said-the-citizens/
No one can say we haven’t been warned.
-nicker-
The Brady bill should have been consistent for all gun transfers from day 1 & we would all be better off. The idea is the same – background checks for all transfers regardless of the state, gun show, or private citizen transfers. Vehicle transfers require more info. about the people involved than gun transfers.
No slippery slope required because closing the loopholes is talking about the same thing as the original bill.
Nicker – “other than Muslim Terrorists) How many people exactly are being threatened by the suicidal…???”
How many gun massacres carried out by Americans against Americans ended in suicide?
It’s a shame the diaper wearing anti-gun nuts always show up when a gun is mentioned or, God forbid, there’s a picture of one. One such self piddler called the cops on a fake bullet belt some punk rocker wannabe was wearing on a bus in New England. No wonder they all wear diapers.
Don’t like them; don’t buy one. You will never keep them out of the hands of the crazies and those who wish to do harm. Better to be armed and not need it than unarmed and be a victim. ‘Nuff said.
Doug,
RE:
“…How many gun massacres carried out by Americans against Americans ended in suicide? …”
If we had more carry permits out there an “attempted massacre” would quickly end in the perpetrator’s death, not a suicide.
