What a great day at the swap. Skinhead Rob stopped by to do some secret business with Mike,
Then Will felt like it was Christmas day after getting his new wallet…..
but I only had his attention for a few moments when he realized the beauty laying on Mike’s table
Big thanks to Mike and Gina, waking up early never felt so good!
Okay I’m the first to admit my personal bikes don’t make ANY sense as a daily rider. But believe it or not they get ridden all over the place. Especially the white bike. The pink one has been on a few couple hundred miles in a day rides but your butt knows it when it’s over. The white one you can ride all day and it’s like riding a comfortable chair around. The only thing I have never liked about the white one is the lack of ground clearance with the staggered drag pipes. I’m tearing it down to change a few things and clean it up for Japan and decided I would fix the pipes while I was at it. I thought of making some, changing to a four into one, etc. I decided to give my buddy Ken at Cycle X a call. He is THE man when it comes to SOHC Honda choppers. He said he had just what I needed stashed for some future project of his and volunteered to give them up. These should look killer on the bike. Make sure and check out Cycle X when you have a minute. He even has a ton of stuff for the Triumph and HD guys.
Besides a being a really nice guy, a motorcycle enthusiast, and DJ, he also just happens to be the guitar player for the Sex Pistols. I never let him know it but when he came by the first time I had a HARD time keeping my cool. If you don’t understand why it’s not even something that can be explained. I’m glad he decided to have me do some work for him and even happier he’s a new friend. He has a killer custom GT1000 Ducati that will grace the pages of Cycle Source in an upcoming issue. Keep an eye out for it. It’s NICE!
All calfskin leather. Because everyone knows vinyl sucks. Solid brass nickel plated vented grommets.
Here are a few pictures of what I’ve been up to lately. If you would like something made get a hold of me at duane@dbcustomleather.com or 603-781-7505. Thanks, Duane
Most dogs are happy with a bone, not ours, show Ricky a yogurt container and he is one happy dog
Check out the grip, possible new sponsor??????
Big thanks to Rollin from Spectro Oil for patiently waiting for his sweet gift from me. He has supplied me with products for both bikes and even used me in one of his ads, so I thought it was only fitting to make him a wallet for all of his hard work!
All hand tooled and stitched
Trying to make Lisa warm up to a old station wagon, she could of used this one in Sturgis!
It is always cool to watch someone expression when they receive their product. Today was one of those days! Along with the blistering heat there was a spot of fresh air when I spoke to Sandy. He patiently waited for me to come back to the Broken Spoke Campground to hand deliver his wallet that Duane just finished for him. This is one happy man. Thanks for the support and enjoy your wallet!!-Lisa and Duane
With the car down, Lisa gone to Sturgis, I have to stay at the shop and work. If you are looking for a great show to support , check this out.
Sadly once again , I will not be heading to Sturgis. Too busy to leave, but that is a good thing right? I am a member for the Limpnickie Lot and would love if you could support Chris Callen for his Cycle Source Ride happening on August 10.
Please find Chris Callen to receive a VIP pass for food and drinks after the ride.
Stoked to be a sponsor for this event. Dan is a great guy, creating some insane shit. See you there!
