Default Jesse James is a Dead Man

Watching this show right now. He's riding a BMW up the Ice Road in Canada up to the Arctic Circle. He's rinding through the snow on top of a frozen river. The best part of it is his BMW with hardbags has a full flame paint job in true chopper style. Temp is -28 degrees.

They just said they clocked him at 83mph on the frozen river. Don't kow if I believe that, but you never know.

Too cold for my blood but knowing the BMW's most of it is prolly heated. Still I think I'd rather not do it myself.

I really don't know what to think of that show. I tried watching one last week where he was drag racing bikes and I thought it was ok. What ch are you watching it on? I couldn't find it here...

I get it on Spike TV which is ch 241 on Direct TV.

I watched the drag racing one as well. The only bad thing about this show, and a few others, is that when they are explaining stuff they are a little too dramatic with much of it. I swear, they could make you think you could break your leg just swinging it over your bike to get on.

I know what you mean. I just found it, don't know how I missed it earlier but I'm on dish network so who knows. When he was drag racing though it did look like he broke his leg when he went over the center line. Thats the one they are playing now here, again. It would be fun though....

I got a kick out of, when they where trying to get up to the side of the hill where they where staying the night, they made a big deal out of if they stalled their bikes while trying to get through the deep snow, they run the risk of their gas freezing. My question is did they leave the bikes running all night then?

Great day in the morning, it was even worse with the police chase one. Talk about over acting. I think a lot of the things would be fun but I would hate to be seen a show that is that cheasy...

It all seems so melodramatic, it's cartoonish. Jesse James will DIE if he attempts this, or if he doesn't DIE he MIGHT DIE because he's doing something DEATHY and if it wasn't for all this safety equipment, safety personnel, limits on what the insurance carrier will allow for the show and the complications of actually filming some of this, it might actually be SCARY! OOOOOoooooooooohhhhhhhhh.
