About Us
Dear OBB/OGB Visitor,
Let me introduce myself. . . . . . . . Just like you, I am a
serious Sport Touring Motorcycle Enthusiast, who every chance he gets, likes to
ride his GS for both work and pleasure.
I started riding bikes back in 1964, and have owned
every brand/model you can think of, and a few you can't. I've ridden in Europe
and all over the USA, and my bucket list includes getting to ride as many
countries as possible.
While teaching Motorcycle Safety, I developed my Neoprene
Original Beemer Buddies/Original Grip Buddies Comfort Grips because I wasn't
happy with what was available. It turns out that what I came up with is
currently thought of as the best option available to improve your hand comfort
and the overall control of your motorcycle by serious motorcyclists, at a price
everyone can afford (see the testimonial section, and articles in Rider
Magazine and BMW Owner’s News).
I make these grips myself in Upstate New York, from the
finest industrial-grade materials I can find. For example, the glue on
the heavy duty Velcro brand Hook I use is rated to be stable to 230
degrees F, That's 18 degrees above boiling! Also, I lock-stitch onmy
hook strip with B-69 nylon thread that you couldn't break with your hands, even
if you tried.The embossed rubber of my brand new and improved Neoprene SMARTSKINS™ is, extremely
grippy, durable, simple and quick to install, and resists moisture take-up.
We hand-craft the best
quality, most effective Neoprene Motorcycle Comfort
Grips thatmoney can buy. . . .at a price everyone can
afford ! Each set of our comfort grips is American
, Hand-made by us in upstate New
York. We use only rigorously-tested, top-quality components, resulting in a
rugged, long-distance hand comfort solution for the serious motorcyclist, which
allows the rider to enjoy his/her bike to the fullest extent, and to maximize his/her
personal comfort and safety.
Here is What you Can
expect From Us and Our Grips:
·
Dramatic improvement in
the feel and comfort of your hands on your
grips!
· Grips with “All-Weather” qualities. These grips do not absorb water!
·
A heightened sense of “control” over your motorcycle due to a satisfied feeling
of your hands finally being completely “filled”. . . . . . just the right
amount (enough, but not too much)!
·
A product you can easily and quickly
install yourself, over top of
your stock grips!
·
Grips that are “Heated-Grip-Compatible”. You really feel the heat
with these babies!
·
A durable, long-lasting solution that “won’t migrate" like some other available grip options.
·
An almost "baffled" feeling that such a
small/inexpensive addition, could make such a huge difference in your enjoyment
of your motorcycle.
