    New life 4 leathers - A restoration? More a resurrection!


    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
    babyb@kiwibiker.co.nz

    Wicked job babyB.

    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.
    I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy

    Mate thats so funny I have exactly the same type of leathers

    My friends also laugh at me (you know who you are) and often call me the clown

    I too had babyb do her magic about 2 months ago.

    They are so supple now. Nice one Brilliant

    Yep big shout out to babyb

    In fact, I think that is her in the backround of the first pick lol

    Looks good man, ever though about getting the arms on them lengthened?
    Only a man who knows what it is like to be defeated can reach down to the bottom of his soul and come up with the extra ounce of power it takes to win when the match is even.
