Yeah, Jesse is pretty good at what he does, but have you ever heard the phrase that chrome don't get you home? West Coast Choppers should be the posterchild for that phrase.
They had a piece on the discovery channel a few weeks back, where they were going to follow him and some of his boys as the rode from their shop to Sturgis, SD, non-stop.
What a joke. Was a good thing they had a chase truck and a film crew with them. They never even made it to the NV border before shit started flying off of their bikes, including seats, and electronic ignition systems.
I could not believe they allowed the piece to be aired. 1450 miles and I think every bike in the piece had to be worked on before they even pulled into town. Not very good advertising in my book.
If I was going to spend a lot of money, I would have to go with Bartell's H-D, The Harley dealership of the stars, and Ron is a great guy.
As far as the torque behind a Harley, you can bend your own steel frame doing burnouts. I have done some great wheelies and burnouts on my mostly stock Heritage.
