TITLE: leather and speed

 JC Whitney goes punk:

 Their "Motorcycle Sale Catalog" came in this morning.  There were
the usual items - pages of cheap chromed tin trash to "dress up"
your Gold Wing, some ATV stuff, leather jackets, leather bib overalls,
leather chaps, fairing bras (get real!), etc.

HOWEVER:

 Whitney now carries leather gloves with the fingers cut off Terminator
style, chrome chains that snap around your boots, leather choker
collars with spikes or skulls, leather wristbands with spikes, leather
skirts, leather belts with studs, leather shirts, leather bras and
halter tops, "soft-hook" positive-latch tiedown straps, and real
horrorshow biker boots, good for kicking.

 Nifty, eh?  And packages from JC Whitney don't interest the neighbors
like the ones from Fredericks'.
