Jesse James, the man behind Monster Garage, might die. But I doubt it. His new television show “Jesse James is a Douchebag Dead Man” is Jesse toying with death through a variety of different feats and stunts he will perform.

And by toying with death I mean he’ll be taking as many safety precautions as possible to make sure that death is not even in the equation. What does that spell? Well, I’m sure you’ll see some cool stuff like explosions and cars doing flips on the show but no real serious danger.

But hey, it’s TV, not a snuff film! I don’t know about you but after watching the “Making of a Dead Man” documentary on the show, I can’t help but roll my eyes. There seems to be a lot of hype on that show about things that just don’t impress me. It also seems that Jesse’s cast and crew think that pretty much everything will kill him.

The TV Network SPIKE will be airing Jesse’s new show starting on May 31st (this Sunday) for all who are interested in explosions and machismo. Probably the best way to watch it is with a bikini clad girl in one hand, and some NOS Energy Drink in the other while listening to Kid Rock. Extreme.

Ok, it’s not THAT new… Somehow it slipped passed me back in April.  I guess I was too busy watching people do wheelies on scooters.

The new 2010 Honda Fury TV spot has a lot of quick edits of intense scenes including a shark jumping up at your face and various animals and people screaming at you.  Let’s not forget the dude getting punched in the face and people getting blown around by a tornado.

Ya, it’s INTENSE and kind of scary.  You don’t see too much of the bike except for it standing stationary near the end.

Hit the jump to check it out.  You might need a hug after watching it like I did.

TLC’s American Chopper will be featuring Sarah Palin airing tonight at 9pm.  The Orange County Choppers crew has decided to dedicate tonight’s show to celebrate the 50-year anniversary since Alaska became a state by building a custom chopper to honor the special occasion.

Paul Teutul Sr. claims he was initially nervous before the interview but felt Palin was “a real down to earth person to talk to”. Maybe so but I would be careful not to offend her with that bear claw laying right beside her, grrr!

You likely know the name Henry Rollins. What you may not recall initially is exactly where you know him from. Taking over for Dez Cadena as the front man of hardcore 80’s rock band Black Flag, musician turned actor Rollins has been a magazine columnist, radio and television host, started his own record label, won a Grammy for one of his many spoken word albums and been an outspoken activist for gay and human rights. Most recently however, Rollins has been chosen to appear in a recurring role on the second season of FX’s motorcycle drama “Sons of Anarchy”.

The TV show CHiPs was what first got me interested in motorcycles. A young boy when the late 70′s show made its debut on the air, I thought it was extremely cool to be on the California Highway Patrol, but especially so while riding around on a Kawasaki 1000. Erik Estrada even had a cool name and car on the show, going by ‘Ponch’ and driving a Firebird.

Oh, that Batman and his toys, those marvelous toys. Millionaire Bruce Wayne’s alter ego has always had a penchant for accessories. While normally reserved for freeing him and boy wonder from intellectually challenged villains, he has also had his fair share of tricked-out transportation over the years. While drooling over pictures of the Batpod online from the most recent film, Dark Knight, I stumbled upon the original motorcycle ridden by the caped crusaders.

Ben Gulak from Milton, Ontario, Canada was on the TV show “The Dragons Den” last night trying to score some investment money to get his Uno creation off the ground. The reality show is based in Canada on the CBC where contestants pitch a business or product to a group of five high-powered investors who decide whether or not to invest their own money into it or pass.

Gulak managed to get all five investors to cough up 1.25 million (CDN) for 20 percent of his company without even getting to touch, feel or try out one of the prototypes. Ben claimed on the show that he is looking to sell the vehicles for about $5,000 and his goal is to have the Uno available in the market next year, not only in North America but also in the rest of the world.
