God bless Pakistan!

I have been wanting some chaps for my bike, but all the local stores the prices start in the low $220's, a custom latherer from Madrid, NM (Wild Hogs) Quoted me $375 for basic black no embellishments. Needless to say I passed.

You gotta quit shopping at places with 'hog' in the store name!
Any half *ssed bike shop with a Tucker Rocky or Mustang catalog in it should have, or can order you a good pair of plain leather chaps for under $100! And like 95% of all leather goods, they likely will be from Pakistan

Oh Such a great thread! New Chaps, New Jacket, New Kilt and PC! I'm in heaven!

BTW I never frequent shops that say Hog, I was just using that as a locater for what Madrid NM was; it's where the film (Wild Hogs) was shot. I learned a long time ago that good bike can be had very reasonably, but not at a dealer. A bike's age has little to do with it's ridability, (IE a 8 year old one with 8,000 miles will do just as well as a brand new one with 1 mile) and lastly HD usually means High Dollar. Right now I'm riding a 98 Suzuki 800 intruder that I picked up with less than 12,000 total miles for about $2300, runs great!

My mistake on the chaps was looking at the local "named" shops and not my Mechanic. Oh well, live and learn (again). But this ebay shop has some GREAT deals!
