Hey everyone, I’ve been having a good time at bike week in Daytona beach 2010! I went up a few days ago and shot this short video of bikers on main st. It’s not much but it gives you a little idea of what was going on.

But I made an even better bike week video of the wet T shirt contest at Dirty Harry’s event! I’ve still got to edit that one but I’ll post it asap. Finally today, Sunday, I went back up and spent my time at the Daytona 500 speedway.

They have lots of booths there selling leather jackets, T shirts and everything else you can think of. They also had some amazing custom bikes that I took videos and pictures of. I need to edit those also.

Once that video is made it will be even better than the one above. Bike week this year was one of the coldest I have ever seen. There was not as much going on due to the cold weather, the beaches were empty for the most part.

But it’s always a fun time and interesting,,,, always interesting! Anyway watch my video above for a little sample of bike week 2010. I’ll have two or more that are better in a few days.

With bike week going on it makes me think about how I never seem to get around to adding more leather items in here. I can carry lots more than I do now. I just never seem to have the time! But I guess I better find the time if I want to sell anything huh?

So very soon I’m going to start adding more leather apparel, like the items you see in these pictures. Plus I’m going to change the look of this site. I have been told it does not look like a store but a blog about leather, which is true.

I’m going to add pictures to the top of this page as links to the leather items for sale, along with sales, tips and so on. The blog part will still be here, just a bit lower and only 5 or so blog post per page.

Another thing I’m excited about is that I have a sexy looking friend of mine who will be modeling the ladies leather. I’m going to make videos of her wearing the items so you can see better how it fits.

I will post these videos on youtube to get more traffic here. But I also will put them in here on the item page. That way you can watch a video of how the item looks on a girl before you buy, neat huh?

So look for new items here, a lot more new items. In,,,,, a few weeks or so, give or take a week. I’m working on it! Tomorrow I’m off to bike week to take some cool videos of the bikes and babes.

With bike week in Daytona beach this weekend, the Harley Davidson dealerships all over the central Florida area will be having events and sales. So I thought you might like a list of the bigger Harley dealerships and shops.

Now there actually are a lot of them in the central Florida area if you include the smaller shops. But I’m just going to list the big ones here. That will still be around 5 or more to look at. So, here’s a list of the bigger Harley Davidson motorcycle dealers in the central Florida area.

Click here for my youtube channel!

Hey everyone! I’ve been really busy the past few days. I finally got myself a camcorder and also my own youtube channel. So now I’m all set to take lots of good videos of this years bike week!

I also run an Orlando tourist site, so my youtube channel has both biker and theme park videos, or at least will have. Right now I just have a few picture slide show videos in there.

But soon I’ll be taking a lot of videos of leather jacket stuff, bikers and Orlando tourist information. So check out my youtube video channel and send me a friend request. Then you can see all the new videos when I add them.

The one above is the pictures I have in my gallery, I just made a slide show video out of it. Maybe I’ll put on some of the leather jackets and make short videos of them so you can see better how they look and what they have.

Of course what I really want to do is get a hot babe to pose for videos of leather skirts and tops, lol! I’ll let you know if I have any luck making those. So anyway look for some bike week videos here soon, and join my youtube video channel to see all my videos!

The Daytona Beach Bike week event is almost here! Bike week 2010 is from Feb. 26th to March 7th. Every damn year I say to myself I’m going to open up a booth and sell some of my leather jackets, but every year I never get around to it until it’s too late!

I have a small gallery you see in the top left sidebar of bike week 2009. I got up there late in the day so I did not have time to take much pictures. This year I’m going to spend a full day up there taking videos with my new camcorder!

This year is going to be a good one, with record bikers attending. You might think that with the recession not many would show up. But bikers are resourceful types, and bike week is too big to pass up!

It’s been a while since I had a leather youtube video on here, so I got this great one. This guy makes all kinds of leather motorcycle saddlebags, tool bags and many others. In this cool youtube video he shows how to make a leather motorcycle tool bag from start to finish.

He shows every step, from cutting the raw flat leather to putting the many finishes and dyes on the leather. All the way up to the final finished leather motorcycle tool bag. It’s pretty nice to see all the steps and you’ll be surprised at how he does some of the things he does.

This leather youtube video is almost 10 minutes long, so give yourself some time to watch it. It’s always nice to see real hand made leather items how how they make them. So enjoy this youtube leather motorcycle tool bag video!

I got a question a week ago that I thought would make a good post, so here it is! Someone asked that their leather jacket always seems to get mildew on it. They said the jacket always seems to have oil on it, no matter how much they hang it up to dry. They wanted to know how to stop it from getting mildew.

Well, it sounds like the leather jacket has too much conditioner on it. Or, the type of conditioner on it is thick and heavy and not the right type to use. Leather conditioner is nothing more than oil that you rub into your leather item. Some of them have several different ingredients mixed together.

The whole point of leather conditioner is to make the leather soft and prevent it from cracking. It also acts to make it water resistant. The oil protects the leather fibers, replacing the natural oils that were there when the animal was alive. However leather also has to breath and let moisture out.

Alligator hide leather boots from Tim’s Boots

I’ve never talked much about alligator hide leather on here. Most of the time when you think of alligator hide leather you think of boots. So today I”ll talk about a place called Tim’s Boots that has really nice alligator hide leather boots.

Tim”s Boots features a complete selection of cowboy boots, including the finest alligator boots. The company was founded by Tim Urling in 2002 and assures you the highest quality craftsmanship available.

Why wear alligator boots? First of all, this kind of boots is the stylish symbol of success. It is quite known that the shoes make the man, so a quality pair of alligator boots inspires confidence and an aura of luxury. It’s impossible not to feel proud and self confident when wearing something like this. Nothing displays your attitude more than your cowboy boots.

Now that it’s 2010 it’s time to make some new years resolutions that you can keep! One of those can be finally getting a quality leather jacket. Maybe you have a patchwork or bonded leather jacket. Or you have a faux leather jacket, or leather-like jacket. None of those compare with a nice, real, quality leather jacket.

A leather jacket made of pigskin, cowhide or buffalo will last for years. Getting a naked, top grain leather jacket is the best of the best. It does not have to cost much either. The ones I sell here are all top quality and they go for between $130.00 to a little over $200.00 in most cases. NONE are patchwork or bonded leather.

A quality leather jacket or leather motorcycle jacket with a zip out liner is warm for cold weather yet cool enough for most of the year. Almost all have YKK zippers, which are the best. Many also have nice leather braiding, beads, leather fringe and more, as well as plain ones.

They also have free shipping in the USA, always. I’m working on getting much more in here soon. ( I know, I’ve said that before!) So make this year the one you finally get a real, high quality leather jacket you can be proud of. Take a look at the ones I have and see if you like any. If not, shoot me a message and I’ll be glad to recommend other sites that have what your looking for.

Now that the holidays are over many are going out and getting the gifts for themselves that they never got! For ladies that might be a nice leather handbag or purse. A quality leather handbag is never out of fashion. And if you choose one that has a unique design, your overall appearance will get you out of the crowd. More than that, a leather bag is a versatile item that looks good with most outfits.

When buying a leather bag, the most important is to know exactly what you need. The wide variety of leather bags available on the market can be overwhelming, so the best is to browse a store offering different handbags types. This way you won’t need to go from one store to another, which can be confusing.

Handbags at eBags.com is one of the most popular online leather handbags stores and features more than 2,000 types of leather bags. Here you can find backpacks, clutches, cross-body bags, double handles, hobos, messenger bags, satchels, shoulder bags, slings, suede, top zip shoulder bags and totes. This store has something for everyone, even for kids and moms.

HI everyone, hope you all had a great Christmas! I had a relaxing, quiet day to myself, made some phone calls to family up north. So now it’s almost the new year and I wanted to wish everyone a happy and better 2010. I’m sure most people are going to be glad to see 2009 go away!

I’ll be happy to start a fresh new year that’s for sure. I’ve been working on some new websites and have learned a lot of new things this year. I’m making more links to my website here and soon I’ll change the front page so it looks more like a normal leather jacket website.

Then I’ll add a lot more items in here. Leather saddle bags and all the other motorcycle bags, more leather jackets, gloves, vest and so on. Maybe even add some sunglasses, accessories and other things. My tourist site is getting big too; that’s the one in the left sidebar square banner here.

So anyway I hope the new year is good to you all, and I hope you have fun on New Year’s eve. Please drive carefully, I can’t sell you a leather jacket if your in the hospital! Happy New Year’s!
