    Alex-

    As "The Hitch Hikers Guide" says, "Don't Panic". Good bookkeeping is important but it's not as hard as you are imagining. There are many good free accounting programs (ie Mint) but investing in Quickbooks or Quicken for Home and Business would not be a bad idea. You just need to get in the habit of inputting data. Open a separate business account with a bank and you can download account transactions directly into the software. I am not an accountant but those who are tell me that the IRS is more concerned that you tell them all the money you make and that your deductions make sense than if your accounting method is modern. Throwing your receipts in a shoebox is a perfectly viable accounting method. Use TurboTax. It asks all the questions you need to answer for a small business run out of your home. Lots of people do this and we are not business or tax geniuses, Trust Me On This! Good luck to you, Stay Calm.

    Douglais-

    Take it from somebody who has been to a lot of biker rallies as a vendor; there are a host of large biker rallies you should try first before Sturgis or Daytona. It will save you money and give you a better idea of what the market is. A lot of states have "Too Poor for Sturgis" rallies, Laconia in NH, The Carlyle rally in PA, to name just a few. And yeah, the helmets with horns would more than likely sell well.

    I need a Classic style Biker Jacket like this one http://www.bikersden...rst-mfg-co.aspx

    or this one http://www.jafrum.co...e-Jackets/MJ410

    They both have belts, split sides with laces, and removable inner lining.

    Problem is Only the Jafrum MJ410 has a Full Belt. But they are Out of stock in my size and they have no idea if they are getting any more.

    A Full belt is a MUST for me because I look at the half belt of all the other biker jackets sold as a girly fashion gimmick. These are called Classic style jackets.. correct me if I'm wrong leather experts, but I doubt Men were buying cheesy half belts in the 50's and 60's. Bikers, manly men, I'm sure wanted real removable belts. I don't see how bikers even stand for this half belt thing. They might as well put a Barbie doll on their handlebars.

    There is only one company I can find that makes a full belted jacket like this with split sides and inner removable liner. I think that's just Nutz. Seems it would be a better selling item for the full belt. It seems the full belt would be the common practice and the half belt the odd duck, but it's not that way and I can't wrap my head around that.

    I wear a size 38 short in jacket size I was told when I was measured for a black double breasted formal suit recently. The Jafrum website says to measure your chest and get one size up from there. My chest measures 36 inches. I would need a jacket 36 to 38 or perhaps 40 if the sizes run small. But they are out of even 40, the smallest size they offer in that jacket and do not know if they will get any more, I called them.

    I do not trust Jafrum reviews.. a buyer on that page said they ordered a 36-38 But the girl I spoke to assures me that jacket only comes in 40 for the smallest size. It looks like they doctor their reviews.

    Allstate the other popular biker jacket company does not even make a full belt with split side laces and inner removable lining at all let alone in my size. Even if I conceeded and went with a half belt ( god forbid) those aren't even available in my size.

    What am I to do? Anyone help?
