RE: RE: Rider Wear



 
Cindy,

I have gotten so many responses, while I intended to be a little more discrete
about it, it probably would be most expeditious to send this to the whole
group.  I hope all will excuse the intrusion this once.

The person I know best at SaddleBums is Stan Dill.  His direct number is (800)
260-7072.  I am sure he would be glad to talk to you about what his company is
currently making and what they have planned for the future.  I bet he would be
able to make some deal to sell to you direct from the factory if you ask
nicely.

Mike

Mike,

Thanks for de-lurking.  How can I contact the SaddleBums to get more
information about the various styles and additional distributors?
