Frequently Asked Questions

Why are you closing?!?! I thought you weren't closing until 2026!

A multitude of reasons is causing us to close up shop sooner than anticipated:

** Our customer base is aging out/dying and we aren't getting younger riders in to purchase items.

** I had a heart health scare in January. The problem was fixed in March, but most of that month I had to close the shop to heal. Closed doors means no income.

** Truthfully, we never recovered from COVID. Sales dropped dramatically in 2020 and ever since then we haven't seen the same income numbers we had previously. The only reason we were able to stay open was due to two grants, a GoFundMe, and a miracle with the water bill.

** I had recently applied for a grant and was in the stage of acceptance when Trump signed a memorandum taking away all grant funding. The grant was rescinded. That small grant would have helped us stay afloat during the March closure until riding season brought in more customers.

** Miss Laura's (Stewart Leathers) death hit me hard. She was a mentor and a friend, and I learned so much from her. My final lesson was that I don't want to be nearly 80, in poor health, and have to still work to make ends meet. I know she loved what she did, and I don't have any disrespect for her choices. I see that I can make different choices and that's what I'm doing.

** It's time for me to do something different. We've been open for thirteen and a half years. We've made an impact on the biker community, we've put quality used gear on riders that protected them, and we've made some wonderful friends. We had a good run.

My last day of business will be June 14th. Come say hello/goodbye before then!
I'll still be riding my Triumph, so I may see some of you on the road!!!
