Spitfire Motorcycles/ Street Chopper party

What a great local event. Lisa went down early to help Paul set up so my buddy Chris and I took our bikes.  The taco were good but the icy truck ruled. IMG_4836IMG_4789IMG_4765IMG_4691IMG_4690IMG_4777IMG_4712

I need a part for the Sabre

IMG_8808When Steve  was out for the Hippy Killer Hoedown, we tore into the Sabre as the speedometer hasn’t been working right. Well after a  hour of testing many wires , he realized the sending unit on the front wheel is shot!

 IMG_8810                   IMG_8814 Both of us have searched but haven’t had any luck. It is a 85 Honda Sabre and if  you know a guy that knows a guy, that might have the part, let me know please, duane@dbcustomleather.com

Big thanks to Steve for having the patience to deal with all those wires.

IMG_2274

I donated this wallet to Jeremy Johnson for his upcoming bike show for Cathy’s Help. The bike show will taken place next weekend in Conyers, Ga. and you have the opportunity to win this with a purchase of a raffle ticket on site.

Lisa met Jeremy last year during Daytona Bike Week and knew she had to help him get the word out. The foundation helps women who are battling breast cancer, with or without insurance. Last year, a woman needed a new AC unit so Jeremy took everything in the account and made it happen. The funds are sitting at $3554.51 and their goal is $50,000. Do me a favor and follow their Facebook page,http://www.facebook.com/pages/Cathys-Help/173512725993874  , donate if you can and help spread the word.

Little Jenny killed it!

I seen one of Jenny’s painting last year @ the Primer Nationals and knew I wanted it for a tattoo. She lives in Santa Cruz so getting the time to meet never seemed to work. Well thanks to Chris at Power Tattoo Company, the deal was done yesterday. She is super light handed and it was by far the least painful tattoo I have sat through.  IMG_1714 IMG_1952
