Motorcycle Mania 2 poster

A lone biker rides north. He's on the blacktop under an endless blue sky as he races across California's Mojave Desert. The rider is helmetless, defying the law, and his brawny tattooed arms and fists, clamp down hard as he blasts down the road at over 100 mph. Like a pony express rider, this man is on a mission. Two months ago, he vowed he'd build a chrome monster and ride it from Long Beach, Calif., all the way to Sturgis, S.D. — 1,400 miles nonstop. So, in just eight weeks, this biker/designer created an amazing, one-of-a-kind, sleek, mean chopper from the ground up, and today he's underway. Three hundred miles from home, with 1,100 miles to go, he is headed for the biggest, raunchiest, loudest, wildest, craziest motorcycle jamboree in the world: the Sturgis 2001 Black Hills Classic.

All the world is in love with motorcycles. Strapped to an 11-hour-a-day, six-days-a-week desk job, we yearn for freedom and the outlaw biker lifestyle. Many bikes are totally unique, personalized machines built by motorcycle enthusiasts.

Jesse's lean and mean choppers have brought him worldwide attention and much deserved respect. For two weeks, Discovery Channel will take viewers behind the garage doors of Jesse's shop as he prepares several bikes that he hopes will be ready for unveiling at Bike Week in Daytona Beach, Fla. Over 600,000 bikers with scrutinizing eyes will be in attendance, serving as a major marketing event for Jesse and other builders. With so many bikes to finish, including his own, will Jesse make the deadline? Will the bikes be the masterpieces he seeks? The clock is ticking and Jesse has much to do!
