Jesse James, star of “Monster Garage” and CEO of West Coast Choppers, will be touring next month, signing copies of what promises to be a tell-all memoir titled “American Outlaw.”

James who is a television personality, the focus of the documentary film “Motorcycle Mania III” and formerly the host of Spike TV’s “Jesse James is a Dead Man,” has been making headlines in the last year most notably as Sandra Bullock’s ex. You may recall as I do, the cold shoulder he received from Bullock as he leaned in to offer a congratulatory kiss when her name was called out at the 2010 Oscars. The couple divorced in 2010 and James is now engaged to tattoo artist Kat Von D. Time will tell as to whether or not “American Outlaw” will shed some light on his side of the story and offer James some redemption in the eyes of the American public for cheating on America’s sweetheart.
James spent several years as the bodyguard for heavy metal band Danzig in the late 80s. In 1992 he opened West Coast Choppers, operating out of a garage. Over the past 19 years, his business has expanded to include sponsoring race teams in Top Fuel Drags and Super Late Model NASCAR. James is also the owner of Cisco Burger located right around the corner from West Coast Choppers and in my old stomping grounds in downtown Long Beach. “American Outlaw” will be released on May 3, 2011.

About the Book
It seems the publishers are being pretty tight lipped at the moment on releasing any details on the memoir, but James recently spoke with People Magazine saying, “My life has been defined by many things and not just the events of the last year.” He added, “I just wanted [the memoir] to be a good story, a page-turner and hopefully people will see it as that.” The book promises to reveal the whole picture of James’ life – from his troubled childhood to failed marriages to addiction. “People claim to know everything about me, when they actually know nothing. But once you read this, you will know everything – the whole story, right here.”
Seriously, why is everybody crying in their coffee over Sandra Bullock? He cheated. He didn’t murder somebody geez!
I had never watched his show, but bought his book out of curiosity at walmart and it turns out that Jesse James is an interesting guy & I like him, regardless of him cheating on Sandra. I finished his memoir in less than 24 hours, it really is an excellent read & I absolutely recommend it.
I was wondering if there is going to possibly be any more dates added & if he will be doing any signings in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area?
We drove to San Angelo to attend his book signing, but unfortunately the bookstore had a fire the night before and it was canceled. We we so disappointed! Jesse, please schedule some more book signings here in Central Texas. We have been fans from way back and even ordered parts from you back when you advertised in the back of biker mags. Lots of admiration for your bike and car building talent.
