Leader's New Swiveling Camera Mount For Motorcycles
Howdy!
If you already have them, let us know what you think (or contact us if you need another set for a gift, or second bike!)
If you haven't yet tried Desert Dawgs but only seen them on someone else's engine guards, these high quality, thick vinyl, leather-look chaps keep your feet warm and dry.
You don't need to be a cross-country rider to appreciate how nice it is to keep a cold or wet wind from blowing up your pant legs, running down into your boots and then pooling up in your socks.
Best of all, Desert Dawgs are perfect for keeping your toes dry and warm during those sudden downpours or those long, rainy hauls.
Already have a pair of Desert Dawgs? Drop us a line and let us know what you think!
And we believe in American made products, and Desert Dawgs are 100% made in the USA!

With a Little Help From Friends
Introducing the new to me, 1983 Goldwing GL 1100 Interstate previously owned by Deon and Cory of Edmonton Alberta.
I was really torn about whether I should buy a touring bike or go for one of the snazzy next to new cruisers. But in the end when I saw the ad for Deon's bike on the Internet, the deal was done.
I came home for lunch on Monday, sat down to check the latest motorcycle listings on Kijiji and spotted the bike which had only been posted in the last hour.
Breathless and excited I phoned the number and inquired about the bike and asked a bunch of silly questions and laid out a few scenarios on how I could make it to Edmonton (I live three hours away) before the bike was sold, and if we could load it into the back of my truck. The seller, Deon was very patient and tried to answer all of my breathless questions as I was starting to dither bad and was unsure what to do next.
Deon told me that when I finally decided what I was going to do to phone him back.
I paced furiously about the house trying to decide if it was worth the effort to race up to Edmonton to look at the bike, only to have my hopes dashed if someone closer decided to buy it before I could get there.
Dinner was on the table, but all I could think about was the bike. And if you have seen my girth, you would soon notice I haven't missed many dinners. Dinner would have to wait.
It was a no-brainer, this was the bike I had wanted, I would take a chance and jump in the car and head to Edmonton.
I phoned Deon back told him I was coming and much to his credit Deon told me others were coming later in the day to look at the bike but if I was to take the three hour drive to look at the bike, he would wait for me.
I told him I was only going to stop at the bank, grab the cash and maybe have to stop for gas somewhere along the road but I was on my way.
I must have smoked twenty cigarettes on the way to Edmonton constantly fretting about whether the bike would be there when I arrived or if some one else would snatch this Goldwing from my grasp.
Deon gave me some great directions over the phone as I neared his house, and when I walked up his driveway and into the garage I was sold. Deon was there and the bike was there.
Asked if I wanted to take it for a test drive I could only blurt out that if the bike started, I would buy it. Deon cranked the Wing to life and the deal was consummated.
Last week I lamented on the fact that buying a bike should be easy, and so it was, with the help and kindness of the seller. Deon waited for me to make the three hour drive to look at the bike while his phone was ringing off the hook from other buyers, he made it easy for me, for which I am grateful.
I had more help the next day as friends postponed a trip to their Mothers birthday lunch, to drive me up and pick up the bike. I wanted to buy them dinner when we arrived back at Castor but another friend who was happy that I had finally bought a Goldwing fed us for free.
Deon wasn't there when we arrived to pick up the bike, but his wife Cory was and with her help we put on my plate and I was ready to ride. Deon was a half hour away but I was so excited to get on the bike I never waited to thank him again for his help and kindness.
Its a great bike at a great price but the best part is the great people who helped me to be back in the saddle again.

Yamaha Fazer 250
Compared to Yamaha Fazer 250, the Pulsar Pedicab and Honda Tiger Revo please minggir. Possibly indeed canned be heard so arrogant. However such was the existence, Fazer that had the machine capacity was bigger quite superior all of his resin when compared with the Pulsar and Tiger Revo. From the aspect of tampilan outside, was seen clear the smallest neatness of this Fazer family of the variant plan. Tampilan outside that was so solid implied aura the motor street fighter true. The Fazer capacity of the petrol tank 250 that reached 19,2 litre this was in fact bigger compared with the tanker capacity “raja him street fighter” Ducati Monster.
