Good Morning David,

The boss should be very happy. Congrats on the blue ribbon. Guess it didn't hurt to have Jesus on your seat. :biggrin: Kidding aside your seats are beautiful. Love the color you are using.

Do you come up with your designs or are some of them tatoos?

Thanks guys,

The ribbon is from the Fort Worth show...I wanted to get a couple of pics of them together before I sent the seat to Arizona.

Wow David. I like your seats. I see that you are in Ohio too. Where abouts? I am in Clarington, on the east side right on the river. Do you go to the Buckeye leather guild?

on the winning table !!!

[Guest]

Hey Chris,

I am in Hamilton, Ohio. That is sort of like a northern suberb of Cincinnati. (Don't tell anyone in Hamilton that I said that) So we are pretty much on opposite sides of the state.

I am currently a member of Pitt Pounders....Johanna recomended them. Nice folks, but needless to say I don't get to their meetings. I am not a member of the Buckeye Guild. There is scuttlebutt about a guild here in Cincinnati.

Freak,

Thanks so much for posting the pics at the show. I've saved them to my computer, I hope that's ok with you.

Thanks again and everyone start on that special project for the Columbus, Ohio IFoLG in 2008.

Those are incredible! I always look forward to the latest seats--and congratulations on the 1st Place ribbon.

Me to i just look forward to when you guys post your latest seats.. great job!!

[Guest]

GOOD NEWS ALL,

The boss liked them. You never know about what he will like and what he won't. He liked the extra stitching and lacing on the two logo seats.

Woo Hoo.

Good for you David but how could he not like them, Don

[Guest]

Don,

He has a very developed sense of what he considers to be appropriate for "oldschool" style motorcycles. I have not been able to convince him that "oldschool" is different if you are 25 years old or 65 years old.....it also is different if you grew up on the west coast or the east coast. Sometimes it differs within geographic areas.....such as upstate New York vs. the Jersey shore. So it leaves me guessing as to what he will approve of and what he won't.....it is frustrating but part of doing business. For 80 seats a year, I'll gladly be frustrated.

Ol'Skool just one more term that has been so overused and abused it is meaningless. But you are absolutely right it means different things to everyone based on their own experiences. Me, it is an old (30's 40's 50's) bike that has been stripped of all the unneeded stuff mainly to reduce weight and increase speed, but still street legal in a broad sense, and then personalized by the owner.

[Guest]

Jordan,

You are right on the money as far as I'm concerned. Most of those "oldschool" bikes were on about their 12th owner and were painted flat black (with a rattle can spray paint) just to make all the parts match. So then the question becomes what is appropriate art work to put on the seat? That's where we have some disagreement; because most of those old bikes didn't have art on the seat.....that is one of the many new twists to "oldschool". Ahh well, regardless of all this, one thing is "for sure"..... he's the boss. We do things his way. I just like to try to sneak my two cents in on occasion.
