Jesse James fined $271,250


Recommended Posts

Monster Garage reality show host Jesse James has agreed to pay US$271,250 for violating California's air quality laws by selling motorcycles that did not meet the state's strict emissions standards, authorities said Friday.

 

His Long Beach motorcycle building shop, West Coast Choppers, sold more than 50 new or custom-built motorcycles between 1998 and 2005 that were not certified by the Air Resources Board, the agency said in a statement.

 

As part of a settlement, the shop is building motorcycles that comply with emission standards, the board said.

 

In a statement released Saturday, James said he offered to make all of his "non-compliant" motorcycles meet federal standards, but the state agency only was "interested in the cash settlement." "We hope that paying this money will bring to light that California has a flawed system when it comes to its clean air agencies and the policies and practices they use," James said. James is married to actress Sandra Bullock. His Discovery Channel series about customized vehicles aired for five seasons.

I was boarding a flight to LA one time from Philly and Mr. James was standing next to me I said hello and he didn't even respond, fuck him. I was riding bikes when he was shittin yeller. Oh yeah, I rode in first and he was in coach, he wasn't that famous yet. Only thing I ever seen him do right was the time he took his show inside Quentin and wrote those boys a letter of reference, and gave em a box of tools when they got out.

Hey fungus.

Meat.

It'll come from Sams Club.

 

 

 

I will agree that Sam's Club has some of the best meat around. I have access to the military commissary and used to say they had the best meat but Sam's is just as good if not better. Amazing briskets and steaks at a decent price.

Their best selling piece the the beef tenderloin. Cut right, you get over a dozen 1.5" filets and enough cubed meat to make the best fondue, beef stew or stoganoff for half the price of buying filet mignon in your grocery.

 

My first job was as a meat cutter before college. I worked the counter, cutting rooms and slaughter house for three years. I've always been impressed with Sam's Club and the butcher departmnent.

Why do they always mention Sandra's Bull Cock every time they talk about JJ?

 

Please, have a little respect. She does look pretty much like a female so please refer to her as such. LOL

Best cut of beef?

In Kansas City it's called the Rib Eye--or Kansas City cut.

Other areas of the country it's called different things.

 

Maldev--in your opinion would we be talking about the same cut with a different name due to the local?

 

If so -- we finally agree on one thing.

Yes--a darn good steak.

Two jokes I learned while working there...

 

What's the difference between meat and fish?

 

If you beat your fish, it dies.

 

 

 

How do you make a dog sound like a cat.

 

Kill it, freeze it and run it through a band saw. (Usually this is accompanied by the butcher running a piece of frozen beef through a running band saw...as it goes through....MMMMMEEEEEEOOOOOOOWWWWWW...funny thing is that it doesn't sound that way with fresh meat. When the butcher who told me those jokes later cut his thumb off in the band saw, it barely made a sound. Disappointing)

I got a response from Jessie. When I was in Sturgis in 2003, he flipped me off. I seem to get the same response from the famous and the non-famous alike. At least I am consistant!

Yeah, he comes across like a real sack of shit.

 

Acouple of the cool famous or semi-famous builders I've met personally were: Kendall Johnson, Indian Larry, and some dude from Chicago that had one of his bikes featured in a Mag. I can't remember his name, but his work was cool and he was a fucking riot! Oh, I met Dave Cook in Milwaukee once. I was driving past his shop (I didn't know it was his at the time) and I saw two of the sweetest looking custom bikes I've seen sitting outside.

I pulled up and was gawking at them, and Dave comes out of his shop and starts going over the bikes and how he built them and such. He then said if I want I can come back and check out his shop. Pretty cool I thought.

Hey fungus.

The gauntlet is thrown.

Steak on the big Green Egg.

Bet.

I'll fix you the best steak you've ever eaten ANYWHERE.

While you got it fired up, you can tend to that BBQ you promised me 2 years ago!
