    Excellent work Paul......

    Anything made of leather like that is a real eye catcher, that is a work of art for sure......
    Keep up the good work.

    That in frame bag is a really cool idea Paul. I must say that your skill with leather work is absolutely outstanding and takes your bike to a whole new level.

    Spend some time up in the Great North country with SB and he could show you how to obtain your own hide and a freezer full of meat. It's only been -30 degrees there in recent weeks numerous times. Pretty sturdy old man, that Silverbear is.

    I lived in the alagash wilderness of northern maine and moved here from Michigan, I had enough of the great north and will stay in the 85 degree sunshine and order stuff in the mail and get my meat in the grocery store, I do miss fresh deer meat I must say though lol.
