Leatherlyke prices

[Sledge Hammer]

I have only  had 2 complaints about them, first they are expensive LoL, second I always wanted a set that looked identical to the version with the studs and concho's but without them hehe.

I couldn't agree more about the conchos, Greg. They'd probably charge more to leave 'em off, though.

I recently got a quick peak at both styles at the local Honda shop, and the contemporary set looks better up close than it does in the photos, at least to me.

If you want to feel better about the $$$ for the Leatherlyke cases, you might want to do what I did and price out Hepco & Becker's hard-shell alternatives. I had to take an anti-anxiety pill after that.

By the way, Lawrence, I have to ask: how did you wind up with your bike in the creek?!

Mike, I wound up in the creek by ignoring the sign at a crossing on a back road that said, plain as day, "slick when wet".  They were not kidding.  I slowed down, sat straight and still, and started through.  The next thing I knew, I was off the bike and it was sliding across the slime on the concrete and (fortunately) up the bank on the other side.  My jacket inflated, of course, and I thought I was going to float down the creek before I could get my feet under me.  I crawled up the other side and hit the kill switch, then proceeded to get put back together.  I wasn't hurt at all, and the bike really wasn't either.  If I ever encounter another low water crossing with moss on it, I will execute a U-turn!!

And no, I didn't get any fish from the deal, either.  I opened the bags to check and they were dry on the inside.  The water was only about six inches deep, but boy was the bottom slick.  I couldn't even stand up on it.
