Awhile back I was about to take some "after" pics to post on another thread asking about leather care products for gun cases. I was sidetracked for a few days by a rude interruption, a bike wreck. I survived it by the grace of God, and am recovering speedily from road rash and associated sutures, swelling and bruising. Got out just now and took a few more pics to make good on my word.

I had acquired two pretty nice old LOM case last spring and sent them to Kevin McCormack for some "rejuvie". It included leather refreshing, restitching caps, replacing buckle straps, etc. He used Lexol and Blackrock Leather 'N Rich products.

The 30" case is older and houses my 30" AE 16 ga Fox.

He did a great job. Cleaned it up but left the character.

Kevin has done very work for me. He can fix the toe of the case nicely, which seems to be a wear point for those old cases.

Thanks so much for the best wishes, Ted. But, I'm not going to ride anymore. Had my fill of that. One second later, one second, and I'd have gone headlong into the side of that semi, and it would've been a closed casket funeral. I may go back to my teen years a different way. Got my eyes on a '55 chevy 210 like I fixed up when I was 17.

I wanna kill a limit of doves on my 100th birthday and riding road bikes ain't the most beneficial way for me to get there. wink

In England motor cyclists are known as 'organ donors'. Wouldn't catch me on one. And hopes for a speedy recovery. Did a good job on the case. Leg of Mutton cases are not easy to work with. Lagopus.....

My b-in-law was an ER doctor earlier in his career. Motorcycles were known in the trade as "donorcycles". Gil

A hundred plus on a bike is an experience you can't not imagine unless you done it. It's not like a hundred plus in a car. But that's a young and dumb thing to do. I think the reason states have helmet laws is to keep your brain functioning long enough to get to a hospital for organ donation

Stan, I wish you good luck on your goal of hundred. From my fathers example I know the most important lifestyle decision is to never stop working. You can cut back but he was still 40+ hours a week until his early 90's. Still walks a mile and a half to three miles a day. In rain or snow and ice he cuts back to the mile and a half. He was on his roof Saturday cleaning off sticks and leaves. Those boys who grew up on the Depression are hard working fellows. I admire those men. No snowflakes in that group or if there were any they were gone by 1940.
