When Jessie James closed
WCC ~ West Coast Choppers ~ in 2010 his bikes were described as
old school, and
minimalist. WCC bikes have been called more stripped down when contrasted with decades-long established chopper builders like
Arlen Ness, that is, a bike with, "not much there but engine, what the law requires, and something to hold onto." In spite of this characterization, a WCC trademark is the use of
9 mm and
.44 Magnum shell casings as purely non-functional decorations, adorning the fuel or oil filler caps or top of the motorcycle's handlebar risers, or elsewhere. The presence of this 20th Century gun ammunition is intended to evoke Jesse G. James' distant ancestor,
old west outlaw and
gunfighter Jesse James.

ABOUT EL JEFE ENTERTAINMENT
Master craftsman, fabricator, innovator and daredevil Jesse James says “the only way to see the value of my skills is to give them away.” After concluding that he couldn’t fit everyone in his garage, and that only one rider could fit shotgun, he realized that the best way to achieve this was through the power of video.
