P.B.B. update...

 Been a busy year hear at Po-Boy Bikeworks world headquarters! Leather business is boomin', tryin to finish the Ratfe Special build, 1 week a month in Mexico w/ my real job, writing articles for The Horse, and hoarding old antique junk to turn into tail lights (the custom chopper parts bit of P.B.B. that I never got around to?), sold the Zuki chop, etc... I aint bitchin', life is good! Here's a couple o' pics of some work over the past months...

Check one off the Bucket List...

Got the opportunity to do a lil' write up on this bike, built by Patrick Henderson, for the new issue of The Horse. Check it out in issue #118 (April). I have a couple more comin up as well. Pretty cool stuff, gettin to do an article for the best chopper rag on the planet! Thanks again Chris Car99r and Englishman...

Thank you and Merry Christmas!

  I'd like to thank all of you who have purchased leather goods or just encouraged me along the way over the past year. I started this lil' journey one year ago this week with the intent of making a seat for my chopper and things have snowballed to say the least! I have shipped seats, wallets, bags, and now a purse to over a dozen states now and orders are coming in steady. I never dreamed my wild haired idea to try leatherworking at the age of 41 would lead to all this. I now find myself juggling time between a management career, family and toolin' leather, I wouldn't have it any other way! My Loving wife and kids have supported me every step of the way, from answering E-mails from around the world, late nights pounding leather, and last minute trips to the post office to mail out my work. It gets hectic, but I still love doing it, and that's what keeps me going. I have just started on my first International order, a piece for a good buddy in the Netherlands, and just submitted a magazine article for the most well recognized Chopper magazine in the industry, life is good! My website is going strong and provides a means for potential customers to see my work. So as Holidays approach, thanks again to all those who have supported my work and to my buddies over at TheChopperUnderground. More updates to come as the projects come in...
      Merry Christmas to all,
           Po-Boy

Benefit Auction for Justin...

Our buddy Justin over on TCU was involved in a pretty bad MC accident and the crew at TCU have once again stepped up to the plate and set up a benefit auction to help out w/ mounting medical expenses, etc. Some pretty nice stuff up for auction, so bid high and often, it could happen to any of us in a split second! Here's item #27. Check it out here...

Congrats to Chris (Car99r) on makin the Horse...

Finally drug out the Suzi and mounted them up. Now if it were only wired, had breaks, and top-end gaskets done... It's a project chop, right?
