I thought it was great when they had the issue with Mike's seat and his dad's pic was the only one that would be on it.

but so very BAD when a black does it (Eazy E, Tupac, etc)

How so? Jesse James is a pretty laid back person -- or, appears to be on the show. I don't think he's glorifying the gangster lifestyle at all. Besides, most people buying Harleys now are professional folks who earn great incomes and are responsible people.

I get inspired when I watch Monster Garage. I like how they can be creative with torches and welders and making something wonderful.




Uh, why don't you check out their main page at http://www.westcoastchoppers.com.

There's a gangsta chick there sitting spread legged and holding a sawed-off shutgun on her thigh. Jesse James is behing her and he too is holding a shotgun.
Go further into the site and you'll see a closeup image of a 9mm bullet with Jesse James' name on it "Hand Made in the LBC".

And here is one of there many gang inspired clothing items for sale..

Need more proof?

I drove right past West Coast Choppers yesterday. Didn't see anyone with guns or any fights breaking out either and there were hundreds of people down there. I didn't hear of anything on the news later in the day either. You don't see these guys shooting it out on city streets or at clubs with other biker clubs do you?

I don't think the bad boy biker image is contributing to the deliquincy of impressionable white boys in this country. You are going to have to put up a better arguement than this my friend.
