NEW YEAR, NEW RIDING SEASON, and NEW FRIENDS

We are starting our third year of selling stainless steel jewelry st motorcycle events.  It seems like only yesterday when a manager of a local motorcycle dealer suggested we set up with our stainless steel jewelry at the Michigan Motorcycle Show in Birch Run, Michigan.  Although somewhat apprehensive about setting up at a new venue for us, we followed her advice and set up at the show.  We didn’t get rich at the show, we did meet our expenses with enough left over to buy dinner and and pay the rent for space at the next show.  Over the past two years we made great friends among the biker community  and vendors at the events we attended.  We are putting together a new schedule for this year which will include the events you seen us at last year plus some new venues like the Detroit Autorama in February and the Dream Cruise in August.  Please stop by our booth at the next event you attend to see what we have to offer.  You will see between 3 to 4 thousand stainless steel rings and a wide selection of chains, bracelets, pendants, and earrings.

End of the Season

The motorcycle swap meet has almost ended for 2011.  As usual, swap meet sales at the end of the year were slow.  We did not see an improvement over last year sales to confirm the reported improvement in our economy.  Overall we had a good year, thanks to the support from the biker community.  We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year. 

We have one more event in 2011.  This is the Motorcycle Swap Meet & Expo at the Gibraltar Trade Center in Mt. Clemens, Michigan.  This event will be held December 17 and 18 starting at 12 noon on each day.  The swap meet ends 7 p.m. on Saturday and 6 p.m. on Sunday.  The Gibraltar Trade Center put on grat motorcycle events.  This will be a great shopping venue if you have biker on Christmas list.

The crowds kept us busy all weekend.  We appoligize to some of our customers for running out of the BIKER ring and the grim reaper ring.  You can go to the following links to get the rings on-line.

Scorpion MC Party

We were very fortunate to have been invited to set up at the Scorpions annual party last Saturday night.  As a vendor it was a great party for us.  The party goers were great customers and became good friends before the party was over.  The Scorpions provided great food and entertainment and every one had a good time.  We apologize for not having our order of Scorpion related stainless steel jewelry in time for the party  The shipment came the following Tuesday.  On October 9 we will be set up at Chili Cookoff in downtown Plymouth, Michigan.  We plan on having a Scorpion table which will feature some great stainless steel jewelry at great prices.  We hope to see the Scorpions who could not find exactly what they wanted at the Chili Cookoff.  We purchased some unique pieces that we had not seen before and should please anyone purchasing Scorpion jewelry.  Ride safe.

Club Parties

This time of the year, Motorcycle Clubs are holding end-of-summer parties.  We went to two of these parties last year and will be attending three such parties this year.  If you are a vendor and are lucky enough to be invited to a club party, go for it.  You will find very inexpensive rental rates.  Usually the club will ask for a donation of merchandise for their door prizes.  The most we had to pay is $25 plus a door prize donation.  These parties usually start in the afternoon and end late at night making it a one day affair. You will be closing down and getting home very late at night.  We found our sales to be good  and well worth the effort of setting up at these events.  In addition, you get to attend a great party, make new friends, and get reaquainted with old friends.  This in itself makes for a great event.

We just got two shipments of stainless steel jewelry including chains, bracelets, rings, and pendants.  We received chains made for small pendants to 30 inch chains that will hold a brick.  The bracelets include motorcycle chains we discussed in a previous post and a cool bracelet that is hard to describe except that a head of a dragon or a snake hooks on the clasp.  The rings include skulls, pirate rings, the BIKER Ring and a skull ring designed for our good friend “the reaper”. 

These items will be available at our next event open to the public at Bikes on the Bricks in Flint, Michigan. This event will take place September 23 – 25.  Until then these items are available thhrough our links located on the side and bottom of this page.  If the reaper is reading this post the following link will take you directly to your ring on Amazon.

Our Favorite Stainless Steel Bracelet

Of the several stainless steel bracelet designs in stock, one design, a motorcycle chain has stood out from the rest.  This high quality bracelet is the heaviest we ever offered for sale.  To adjust the length of this 9 inch bracelet all you need is a small screw driver to remove a link.  This is much easier than removing pins and replacing them which is needed to adjust most stainless steel bracelets.  This motorcycle chain bracelet is also the most expensive we offered for sale.  Even though we had to place a high price on it, our first supply sold out quickly at a small motorcycle event.  We now have another supply on order which should be available this Friday at the Gibraltar Trade Center’s bike night.  If you are interested in this bracelet and are unable to attend the bike night this item is availabe on Amazon’s web site through the following link.

Swap Meet

After taking a week off from the motorcycle circuit for a family reunion in Northern Minnesota we set up at Walneck’s Swap Meet in Woodstock, Illinois on our way home from the reunion.  Swap meets during the last half of the riding season usually have a smaller attendance than the meets held in the spring.  The swap meet in Woodstock was no exception.  Although, this event was well attended, the attendance was small when compared to the Woodstock Swap Meet held last April.  This event had several vendors offering motorcycle parts and vintage motorcycles waiting to be taken on for a project.  Several of the customers obtained new projects and parts for their current projects.

There were a few vendors offering tee shirts, jewelry, and patches.  We did not see any leather goods dealer which is unusual for this type of event.  One of our customers wanted to know if she could find a leather jacket for sale on our web site.  Although we don’t sell items directly from our web site we do have links to web stores that have extensive inventories of leather goods.   The Motorcycle Superstore offers 161 different jackets for ladies ranging in price from $55.00 to $975. Motorcycle Jackets at Motorcycle Superstore 

The Motorcycle Superstore web site states that;

 Motorcycle Superstore’s incredible collection of women’s motorcycle jackets offers you an unbelievable variety of protective options in many classic and colorful fashions. Padded and armored women’s leather jackets are still arguably among the best upper body protection from road rash should you have a reluctant slide on the asphalt. But with the current technological innovations in motorcycle jackets, textile jackets have come a long way down the road to provide exceptional protection as well, and extra comfort in either vented or non-vented styles. Motorcycle Superstore has a full selection of women’s leather jackets, textile jackets, and denim jackets in many styles. We offer top brands like River Road, Power Trip, Joe Rocket, and many more motorcycle jackets for women to satisfy your search. Enjoy the hunt and thrash the rash.

The following link to Amazon will show approximately 1,100  motorcycle jackets for the ladies.

Magnetic Jewelry – Does It Work?

Over the past two years several customers stopped by our booth looking for magnetic or copper jewelry to relieve arthritic pain.  Our review of various websites dealing with copper and magnetic jewelry indicates that for some people this type of jewelry does reduce aches and pains.  For example an article in www.e-how.com addressed the benefits of magnetic jewelry.  The article stated in part;

Benefits of Magnetic Jewelrythumbnail Benefits of Magnetic Jewelry

People have been using magnetic jewelry for years for healing. Some believe that the magnet corrects the body’s natural functioning and heals many diseases and conditions. Magnetic therapy is centered on the use of magnetic fields in the body which regulate how the body works. Basically, the magnets regulate these processes and keep the wearer healthy.

This article concluded that;

Magnetic jewelry claims to heal a number of bodily illnesses and conditions. They may have many known and unknown health benefits. Certainly, some magnetic jewelry is cheaper than a visit to the doctor’s office and the benefits of using the jewelry is long-lasting as long as it is worn. Magnetic jewelry is also fashionable, making it discrete and just as elegant as a real piece of jewelry. The only difference between regular jewelry and magnetic jewelry is the healing properties.

Based on what we read about magnetic or copper jewelry, you need to try it to determine if it works.  If it works wear the jewelry and if it doesn’t work wear it as fashion jewelry.  Either way you will get some benefit from this type of jewelry

Space limitations have prevented us from offering this type of jewelry at our booth. We have found a web site Q-Ray Wellness-Lifestyle Bracelets that offers magnetic jewelry.   This site claims that over a million people have purchased their bracelets.  If you are not satisfied with their products they offer a 30-day money back guarantee.   Click on the Q-Ray link on the side of this page to see their selection of copper and magnetic bracelets.  Also, for the next few days the banner at bottom of the page will connect you with copper bracelets that are offered at very reasonable prices.
