New Life 4 Leathers Restoration
 
It had come to my attention of late, that my leathers bought
for commuting duty 12 years ago were looking thrashed, bashed and generally
tatty. Oddly enough they had not thrived on total neglect and had even had the
audacity to look damaged with me crashing in them repeatedly while racing SuperMotard.
Some KB'ers had even made disparaging and even hurtful remarks
as to their looks. I decided to test the theory and take some photos with my
spy camera, it's a camera soooo secret, not even I knew it existed! The 1st
2 photos show peoples faces when looking at the leathers pretreatment.

Cheeky judgmental pricks! The other side is not
much better! 
I saw in a nature movie that the male baboon with
the biggest reddest butt attracted the most females, I thought after one of
my many motard incidents to try the theory out, hence my leathers sporting this
handsome red butt repair job. For some reason it did not seem to work, but I
did notice that Jersey Bulls seemed to run after me now, go figure!

So, after babyB of New Life 4 Leathers had worked
her incredible leather restoration magic, I decided to try the hidden camera
again, and wow, what a difference!

Same story out back too, though some photos were
a worry!

So there you have it, don't throw out those older
leathers, get them seen to by babyB pronto and you too can be swatting those
stars away that are begging you to take them for a ride!
Now Seriously, If you have leathers that are in
need of some TLC,then contact babyB (Karen) on Cell 027 431 9159 or E-mail at

Wicked job babyB. :Punk:

I'll def be bringing my leathers to you babyB before I get Red Butt symptoms.

Was wondering sugi if you were going to retire your leathers and get some new ones to match the new bike.

The comments i had about my leathers are worth passing on.
The general feedback was that I'd bought a new suit for the nationals. The transformation was that huge.
