Spring Time
The weathe
rs finally getting warm the robins are back the grass is starting to green up. People are out in their yards cleaning up the winters damages and the site of motorcycles with their riders dressed in Black Leather Jackets are becoming plentiful.
With spring finally here in the north everyone seems to be getting the itch to get their motorcycles out and hit the roads. There are allot of hazards out there on the roads to be aware of in the spring and for that matter all year but especially in spring. There are salt and calcium chloride residues that spring rains haven’t taken care of and then there’s the infamous sand especially in the corners. It can do allot of damage to your bike if following someone else not to mention it also hurts. So be careful and safe riding.
Ladies Black Leather Jackets
When my twin daughters celebrated their twenty-first birthdays, my wife and I didn’t know what to get them. Some twins create sibling rivalries when they are young, but our girls have been inseparable their entire lives. They even decided to go to college together on the East Coast.
Last year they combined their funds to purchase their own motorcycle. While I have to admit that we were none to thrilled about this purchase, we have come to accept it. So for their birthday, we decide to give them a pair of matching ladies black leather jackets as a sign of our approval.

The motorcycle community is and does so many wonderful things in so many different aspects of helping our fellow man. These men and women dressed in there Men’s Black Leather Motorcycle Jackets and Womens Black Leather motorcycle Jackets
and chaps and gloves and boots and whatever motorcycle apparel they so choose may look different and some even look a little scary. Underneath all that are good kind caring everyday individuals some doctors, lawyers, truck drivers, office workers, all of which are someones mom and dad.
Every year there is a motorcycle run that starts in California and makes it’s way east to our nations capital Washington D.C. . This run called the Run For The Wall whose mission statement is to promote healing among all veterans and their families. To call for an accounting of all Prisoners of War and those Missing in Action [P.O.W. M.I.A.]. To honor those killed in action[K.I.A.] from all wars and to support our military personel all over the world. I think this run is for a good cause and if you would like more info go to http://www.rftw.org/ .
Motorcycle riders all over the world work to help others in some form or another. Join a club and get involved there is so much that can be done tho help when it’s done in numbers. Ride safe!
Rolling Thunder
What is i
t? How did it start? What’s it all about? To start it’s a motorcycle ride that originates in California and ends in Washington D.C. It is a ride that is in memory of all of our servicemen and women who are POWs or MIA from all wars past and present. It is also for the dedication of the people to fight for our govenment to look for and bring back all POW and MIA past and present.
It started in 1987 when Ray Manzo spotted some fellow marines at the reflecting pool at the Vietnam War Memorial Wall in Washington D.C. and asked them for help. The idea to host a motorcycle ride in the nations capital to show the country and the world that abandoned American soldiers in Vietnam still mattered to their fellow servicemen and the country for which they sacrificed their freedom.
It’s quite the site with 20,000 plus bikes proudly flying the Stars and Stripes and the black and white POW MIA flags and Black Leather Jackets and blue jeans meet chrome and sound like approaching thunder. It’s in my mind got to be one off the most honorable tributes to American servicemen that there is on memorial day. It is one of those tributes that all of us should become a part of in some form on memorial day.
Rolling Thunder
Rolling thund
er what is it? Some may say it’s the sound of an approaching storm, others may say it’s the sound of an approaching train and yet other say it’s the sound of a bunch of motorcycles. A Group of motorcycles with their riders all adorned in their Black Leather Motorcycle Jackets and leather gear does have a rumble similar to that of an approaching storm.
But when I think of the term Rolling Thunder I think of the motorcycle ride that is from coast to coast each memorial day in honor of our countries veterans and fallen soldiers. It’s a ride to the wall that is a memorial in honor of serviceman who have given their lives for their country and to protect the freedom of us the citizens of the United States of America. It’s also to honor all those missing in action and those who have served and are serving in present and past wars and conflicts. I think we the people of the United States all need to reflect and honor all those who served and have served this great nation. The people of the military give and put their lives at risk for all to give us the freedoms and liberties we all enjoy.
New Adventures
Well Sat
urday was another H.O.G. chapter meeting and as always it was allot of fun and camaraderie with old and new friends. We arrived early and was able to do some admiring of some of the new bikes available this year along with looking at new Ladies Black Leather Jackets and all the other new apparel for the season.
We as a chapter have some exciting events and rides coming up for the season. There are some new fundraisers and exciting trips planned one of them to the Harley museum in Milwaukee Wisconsin. Announcements were made regarding the state rally and details of how to participate if so desired. If you don’t belong to a H.O.G chapter I would highly recommend joining a chapter near you as the people and friendships that are made are fantastic.
Spring
It’s just around the corner and it’s a welcome sight to behold the green that’s appearing covering the brown and all the signs of new life. Motorcycles out and about are a welcome site also and the riders all dressed in their Black Leather Motorcycle Jackets, chaps and gloves.
On a more serious note for motorcycle rider’s there some riding tips to keep in mind. Number one is remember we in the north are coming out of the winter season and there is allot of sand on the roads and salt residue. It takes several hard early spring rains to get this off the roads and some of it stays in the corners all summer! Remember slow down and look for danger and don’t forget to do a thorough wash of your bike if riding this early season to get the salt off or you’ll regret it later. Happy and safe riding!
Camaraderie It’s Great
The camar
aderie that motorcycles present is unbelievable. Motorcycles bring together all types of people from all walks of life. They bring together valued and varying opinions about all subjects. If you need an answer put the word out and someone in the community knows someone who knows someone who knows someone who gets the answer you need.
There are events galore all season which you can attend and people come sporting there Black Leather Motorcycle Jacket and some sort of apparel representing the motorcycling community or different organizations they are involved with. There are so many great motorcycle organizations to be a part of some of them are H.O.G. and there local chapters which are H.O.G. chapters though a dealer. There’s Abate which also has many chapters and do allot of good things through rallies and fundraisers. Get involved in the community you won’t regret it Motorcyclists are great people.
Motorcycle Season
The motorcycle season here in Wisconsin looks like it’s on the horizon. We’re having warmer weather the snow is almost gone and the waters running. Been having some rain which really takes the snow away. I really was hoping the ground hog was right would have liked to see a little longer snow season.
The signs of the new season are here the bike shops are having cabin fever days with bargains an the latest in Leather Motorcycle Jackets and all the rest of the leather motorcycle accessories. All the latest and greatest in motorcycle apparel and motorcycle accessories are on sale. The spring fundraiser and other hog chapter events are starting as well as planning for this years rides.
Cleaning a Leather Jacket
Black leather motorcycle jackets are a sizable investment, and as such, proper care is essential. When cleaning your leather garments, you should only use mild soaps. Gently wipe the jacket down with the soap and rinse it clean with a damp cloth.
Once the jacket is dry, you will want to apply a leather conditioner. This will keep it from drying out or cracking, as well as prolong the life of the garment. You want to use just enough the cover the jacket, as too much will leave the leather feeling sticky. These simple cleaning procedures can be used for any leather clothing.
