steveb leatherworks: the blather

i was hunting Freddy down and thought I’d stop by and see if he was home…. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Lm7Sakh9Mw[/youtube]

as we roll forward this day, lets point the way with our front wheels…..

Overbaked by my standards, but still a pretty piece o chrome arn, I saw this stinker at the Sycamore one afternoon. Funny, I was standing there looking at it, camera in hand ready to award it the Coontail award of the day, thinking to my superior self, “oh man, he must a paid some heavy […]

for your viewing pleasure… 

So having a “new bike” is still a thrill, happy to say. The shiny penny already has 14,500 miles and I opted to be smart and replace my skins before they were baldini’s. First time I’ve seen this bike on a lift…  I gave up changing tires by hand when i sold Big Blue, my […]

Even in this day and age – they cant give this POS away. Come an get ’em!!!

It is well known that i am a big fan of the venerable FXR.  I have had my 1986 vintage for many a long year and can really only say good things about the bike and its design. It is a super flexible model offering the crafty owner a few opportunities to make his mark […]

Sweet is the only way to describe the new Sportster. Lots of upgrades, design enhancements and tons of changes, all for the better, give Harley a bike that really kicks ass performance wise for a reasonable price (for Harley anyway). In Europe they cant import them fast enough and here in the USA.. .they can’t […]

Harley had a cool concept – selling “dragsters in a box” – so here, meet the V-Rod Destroyer. Pretty much a bullet proof and trouble free way to get into drag racing, this is a plug and play race bike, right out of the crate. I dont know how they sold or if they are […]

Shank and I stopped by one of our the local Harley Dealers today. Lots of bikes on the floor.

Oh man – newbies – all i was missing from this scene was the “vroom vroom” sounds. We’ve all been there. Got to start somewhere, I guess. Tough to be badass in a polo shit and khaki’s, but if you got the cake……you can do pretty much whatever the hell you want.

Saw a mismnatched pair at Bill’s Drive In. Guys looked like friends from way back with the Harley rider of the two saying the “he tried” talking sense into his Honda riding buddy when he bought the Honda…ha.. bless our friends… whatever would we do without them?

Farms, here’s a little dairy operation not too far from the secret location (killer ice cream too!!) – ayuh, still a couple of them farms left although most are turning into strip mall and condo developments. These guys rock 

Trying to keep me knowledgeable on a national scale, my friends and readers send me info about all sorts of cool local happenings. I tend to be pretty much focussed on what is happening in line of sight from the end of my nose and the East Coast in particular, so these missives really help and I thank all […]

i love it, i get to be both all salty and “in your face” with the title of today’s post, but at the same time, i get to teach you all something..!  ha – home run! Took a beautiful 200mi.ride up North and back for a family dinner last night and left early enough so […]
