As the sun is shining on me and our cats this morning, I'd like to let the cat out of the bag early by mentioning our first ever BIG TIME tool bag sale - February 13th through the 28th - 20% off the regular prices! We planned ahead for this event and have all styles and sizes and materials of tool bags. Some can go on the handlebars, some on the forks, some are designed for either location.
Did you see an old post of ours on Facebook about putting large tool bags on the metal rails of your rear fender? We learned about this simple and great idea from a customer in New Jersey in 2017. He had bought one 12" vinyl tool bag from us, and his son suggested putting it on the the fender rail. Jai alai - a mini saddlebag/toolbag. He ended up buying a second one to have a pair on his bike, which is a Yamaha V-Star (like mine). It's a great idea and something to consider when you are looking for bike storage on a non-bagger.
In other news, some dumbass rumor is out there suggesting that Bryon belongs to a 1% motorcycle club. That is a total non-truth, a lie, and whoever is spreading it is a tool, and should find a tool bag to hide in. Seriously, if you ever hear any rumor about us or our store, just come and ask. We've heard it from the beginning because we are Freedom Thirteen. Thirteen is for the original thirteen colonies that fought for freedom. We spell it out and don't use the number 13 specifically to avoid confusion with motorcycle club usage. But still, we had some total fucktard tell us back in 2014 that he knew all about it: "I get it, 13, one three, one, one percent". Uh, no, you dumb fucking asshole! Even after explaining it, he still had is own idiotic thoughts. Sometimes you just want to tell someone to fuck off.
We founded the store on our own, with my retirement money (and boy did those assholes in the state retirement system I had been in, D.C., and the IRS fuck me over good - may they burn in Hell). But whatever - we opened up with our own money to go for a dream, and we are as independent as anyone could ever be. We enjoy our freedom. We operate our store for people who ride any kind of motorcycle and from any club or not in a club. NEUTRAL - as we say, we have a store for bikers, by bikers - everyone is welcome.
Find some joy in these last weeks of winter. I like the birds, so I'm always watching for which ones come back, especially the geese (I like how they fly in an organized pack as when we ride with our friends!). This is going to be a GREAT YEAR!
