The Island ride was great, beautiful weather, plenty of heads turned and one great question from a pedestrian. " what is that?" asked this women. " It has two wheels, it must be a bike" replies Larry, and the woman's response " what is the advantage of that?". Great to be able to talk to some new people and share some laughs. It was great, Can't wait till the next ride.

Handmade Leather Grips
On my cruiser I had cork grips, which I loved very dear. Then one day while picking up something in a store, the wind blew my bike over. This smashed my grips, totaling them into little cork bits. So rather than get new cork grips and possibly have this happen again, I desided to construct leather ones. I started with some heavy tooling leather I have kicking around, measured the bar circumference and made it a touch smaller. I cut and stitched it up and soaked the grip then slipped it over a old set of bars I have to dry and stretch/tighten. Then the next day used some white glue as lube and slipped them on my bike. I plan to leave it to dry for a day then put some Brooks Proofide on, to condition them. Should look nice.
