Jesse James Fined For Pollution

When you are aspiring to be a celebrity, there are a couple of telling signs that you haven’t quite made it.

One of these signs is when you happen to be married to a celebrity and you are referred to in stories as the partner of such and such.

It must hurt even more when you have a huge ego, as does the person referred to here in this story from Starpulse.
Sandra Bullock’s husband and Monster Garage host and co-producer Jesse James has been fined $271,250 for violating California’s clean-air rules.

No this doesn’t have anything to do with his mouth.

The fine was imposed by the California Air Resources Board, which alleges 50 of James’ custom-built chopper bikes violated rules by not having state certified emissions equipment on their exhaust systems.

As a result the bikes sold between 1998 and 2005, were giving off hydrocarbons at up to 10 times the state limits, said Paul Jacobs, chief of the board’s Mobile Sources Enforcement branch.

James, who also hosts and co-produces Motorcycle Mania, was not available for comment.

Well hopefully now he will build some bikes that actually conform to the pollution rules. It’s not that hard mate, you can hide a lot of the emission gear without making your bikes look any more puss than they already are.

Actually, I haven’t even been bothered to look at his bikes, they may well be very nice..
