About me: My name is Nick, but a lot of people call me Spike (from back in my liberty spike days...an Elvis impersonator named me this so I had to roll with it!). I was born and raised in Texas where I come from a long line of artists all over both sides of my family. I am also a third generation Harley owner starting with my grandpa when he came back from WWII. My current focus has been working with leather. My specialty is making motorcycle seats but I can also make tool bags, guitar straps, purses, etc... If you're interested in having me make you something, then just let me know.
PLEASE NO SPARKLY CRAP ON MY COMMENTS!

Thanks for the kind words on my leather work. Seen your work and its nice to. I can get into pictures but I really want to learn to do biker seats and thats what I was looking at on your site. Really nice and they look so nice on a bike. One question if you don't care... what do you treat your seats with so to keep the weather from hurting them?
later, larry
