Since we will be at a show this weekend we won’t be able to respond as quickly.  We’ll be back in the office on Monday and all orders will be shipped by Tuesday.

Thanks for you understanding.

We just added a couple of brand new sunglasses from Global Vision.  These are the Tracer Aluminum Spray Frame Sunglasses.  They have the distinctive wraparound styling that is so important for motorcyclists and bikers to keep the wind out of our eyes, and have lenses that are safety certified to protect us from flying projectiles.

The Tracer is available with a Blue Mirrored lens which is great for day riding

and a Clear Blue Mirrored Lens that has great performance at night.

Butch partying

I just learned that my friend Butch just passed away this morning.  This man has been a great influence on many people and many attribute them being alive to Butch.

The hundreds of true friends that he has left behind will miss him, and to hear his gruff voice each morning will leave a void in many lives.  But as he always said, “If you not moving forward, you gotta be moving backwards.”

BE AWARE OF THIS

Sent to me by Gringo Mark:

Our brother Korey got pulled over last night on 84th and Pecos. Needless to say he had to spend a couple of hours in the pokey due to an outstanding traffic warrant.

This is what the Adams County sheriff’s deputy told him:

For the next two weeks during the DNC in Denver:

1) Any patch holder cruising through the Denver Metro area will get pulled over and they will run a check on your license. No reason, or cause needed other than we are considered to be part of extremist organization. This is part of a Homeland security measure, no probable cause is needed or required.

2) The Sheriff’s Deputy also stated that we pass on to all out brothers to stay clear of Denver during the DNC. Again, they will absolutely pull any and all patch holders over and run them through an on the spot background check.

The deputy offered this as a fair warning and advised us to stay low for the next two weeks

For a long time we carried a line of American Made Headwraps that we were pretty proud of.  They had lots of styles and colors that the motorcycle enthusiast truly loved.  Problem was the price point was to high for the likings of our customers.  In addition the reliability of the supply just wouldn’t cut it in terms of the standards for service we require for our customers.

As a result we found a new supplier that has an even better selection, value and reliability.

Whether you call them headwraps, head wraps, doorags, doo rags, dorags or skull caps they are one of the true accessories that define the biker.  Not only are they a statement of what we believe, feel and think, but head wraps are a practical necessity to protect our helmets.

There are literally going to be 100’s of choices in these American Made DoRags.  We are going to try and make the selection as easy as possible by providing the following classifications of our headwraps.  Click on any of the Categories to see all of the biker doo rags included in that category.

Skull Do Rags

Doorags with Flames

Patriotic Headwraps

Dorags for Women

Pure Biker Doorags

No-Tie Headwraps

and many more to come.

Question:

I just received my order which included the Big Ben Touring Kit.  When I checked the package I found that clear lenses were missing.  What do I need to do to get the clear lens sent?

Answer:

You’ve already done it.  The lenses are being shipped to you today via USPS.  Sorry about the mix-up.

The internet is an amazing thing. For a couple of years there’s been a written poem going around about being a biker and the perception that the general public has about us.  Recently I found a version of this poem done on You Tube.  Check it out.  Show it to everyone you can.

Every once and awhile we go through our warehouse and discover a gem that we thought was long gone and no longer available. We just found one of those. The Wiley X XL-3 Magna Series Light Adjusting motorcycle sunglasses was one of our favorite models. These glasses not only offered the best trainsitional / photochromatic lens qualities on the market, but they we’re cool and extremely functional. The glasses have a light metal frame in a great brushed gun metal finish and have a removable eyecup that is held in place with magnets. In addition, they have a great strap that can be attached to hold these sunglasses in place for those bikers that like to leave flames in their tracks.

We have a very limited quantity of these great glasses available, so hurry and get yours today.  Buy them now using the button below our check out more details at: http://www.bikerwares.com/store/store.php?crn=143&rn=649&action=show_detail
