Let's make this birthday one to remember.

55 years old (Born on April 19, 1969)

Happy birthday, Jesse James—motorcycle builder extraordinaire and daredevil with a welding torch! You've spent countless hours breathing life into roaring bikes at West Coast Choppers, proving you can tame metal better than anyone tames lions. Whether you're turning sparks flying in the garage or igniting laughs on reality TV shows like "Monster Garage," your creativity continues to inspire gearheads everywhere.

Here's hoping this year motors along smoothly (or wildly—you decide)! May every wrench turn satisfyingly tight, each custom bike more jaw-dropping than ever before—and may your celebrations rev louder today than a fully-loaded V-twin engine. Ride hard but party harder!
