The Man Behind LePera Motorcycle Seats

It's so difficult to write these words, Bob LePera passed away in November of 2008, when he lost his short battle with lung cancer.

We have been asking ourselves how to summarize the life of this man who was so talented, such a hard worker, liked and respected by so many... but we'll give it a shot and try our best.

Bob was one of those people you meet that you were just drawn to, so down to earth, so eager to tell a story, so willing to share a bit of himself. Bob did not have a pretentious bone in his body. Whether you just met him or you were a long time friend, he had a way of treating everyone as an equal. To put it in a way Bob would like - he was just one "cool dude."

Hearing a customer on the other line saying how much they loved their seat always brought a smile to Bob's face. No matter how many times there was a bike with our seat in a magazine he would show us with pride. There are still stacks of magazines in his office that have a bike featured with our seat on it. Bob was very modest and never took applause lightly. He was humbled by the industry and never took anything for granted. He lived through the ups and downs and urged us to appreciate the good times and save for the unexpected.

Bob did things his way, with no excuses. There was never a time he doubted how he was doing things. If he had to work 18 hours a day he did, he simply always did what needed to be done. He was a self-taught craftsman in many different areas. He had an uncanny way of fixing things, he would see it, touch it, figure a way, and miraculously it was working. And it wouldn't be "just" working; it would of course be working for the next 20 years... He would always say "we don't need a new one, it works fine, we just need to fix this and that, now it runs just like new." There are too many of Bob's idiosyncrasies to mention.

We put up an area on our website that you should check out, you are able to write your thoughts and memories about Bob. There are several things that were repeated that we thought were a pertinent part of Bob's personality: he was a true friend, people like Bob don't come around very often, he was a true gentleman, he was always laughing, he befriended people the moment he met them, and so much more. Since Bob's passing we have also talked to so many people that have had such wonderful things to say about him. Many talked about the old days, how Bob helped them any way he could, helped them when no one else would, and was always there to talk to no matter how much time had passed. Hearing all of these stories and reading people's memories only make us wish Bob was here to read them, he would have been a little embarrassed, but honored at the same time.

He was a great man. He will be missed by all who knew him. Whether you were a friend, and employee, a family member, a business associate or someone that just appreciated his work, the loss of this great craftsman, will be felt for years to come.

We are all so happy that Bob was able to see his dreams come true and to be appreciated by so many. Together, we Bob Jr., Christine, and our "family" that has worked with us for so many years will continue to keep Bob's passion, work ethic, and dreams alive, preserving every bit of history that he started with his bare hands back 1972. Bob's legacy will live on through everything we do and every seat we create.

So here's to the Craftsman, the Boss, the Friend, the Dad, the Brother and the Grandpa. Here's to Bob...

Arai Helmets Now at Sublime Power Sports

If you’re looking for a new helmet, you might be asking yourself: These days can there really be that much difference between one brand and another? And if so, haven’t any differences that do exist become pretty slim?

The answers are Yes. And No.

The simple truth is, while there are indeed a lot of helmets out there, there is still only one Arai.

Our name and reputation have been forged over time, the hard way. Which means we haven’t devoted three generations of the Arai family to the singular goal of no-holds-barred excellence just to turn out helmets like everybody else’s.

Arai alone has the experience, the quality, and the trust that truly set us apart. (If the others are the same as us, why would they copy so many Arai innovations?) In fact, we don’t know of any other helmet company that can match any of the Arai facts we’re going to tell you here. Not just one other helmet company – any of them. (Doesn’t sound like much like much of an argument for “sameness,” does it?)

But you can decide that for yourself here and now.

ATV Nerf Bars

All terrain vehicle racing has become a popular sport in the last decade. The rough and tumble race makes the ride a formidable feat filled with dangers. One of the safety features that protect the racer are ATV nerf bars.

These accessories are made with strong aluminum metal that attaches to the front and rear. They provide heel rests on the back and strong netting to support the racers legs. These items protect the racer during the rough terrain rides. Many racers consider them to be a true necessity. However, safety is not the only reason for this accessory.

This product transforms an ordinary all terrain vehicle into a vehicle with character. The sharp design and colorful straps add an extra element of beauty and sporty look. The vehicle becomes one that makes a statement about the owner. The owner is a person who has a taste for the best.

Check out our huge selection of nerf bars here at Sublime Power Sports.

Why Buy a National Cycle Windshield?

Why Buy a National Cycle Windshield?

It's Practical!

Decreasing wind blast reduces riding fatigue. It's that simple. Whether it's a long Sunday cruise or a week-long tour, staying alert and well conditioned in the saddle greatly helps in getting you to your destination in one piece.

In inclement weather, a National Cycle windshield offers increased comfort and protection from the elements. You don't ride in the rain hoping to get wetter, or ride in cold weather hoping to get frostbite. You use a windshield to manage riding in weather that keeps other riders indoors.

It keeps your teeth clean, too!

It's Affordable!

There are lots of things you can add to your bike to increase your riding enjoyment or to improve your bike's versatility or performance.

A National Cycle windshield is a low-cost investment that pays big dividends, as it will certainly improve your riding experience. Even a high-end windshield system, like our quick release SwitchBlade® windshields, is a small investment compared to suspension upgrades, exhaust systems or engine performance work.

In fact, windshields are affordable enough that you could buy two different sizes or styles to increase the day-to-day potential of your motorcycle.

It's Versatile!

Most motorcycle modifications tend to be fairly difficult to undo or else downright irreversible.

When you have a quick release windshield, you have a modification that's easy to change. Our SwitchBlade windshields can be removed, changed, or reinstalled in less than 5 seconds. Our wide range of QuickSet™ windshields can be removed in under 15 seconds. Even our "permanent" windshields, like our Heavy Duty™ line, can be removed with simple tools in about 15 minutes.

Feel like riding without a shield on hot summer days? No problem! Need a bigger windshield for those cold and rainy days? Still no problem!

The versatility of National Cycle's windshields gives you the best of both worlds.

Switch Out Your Seat For a New Look and Feel

When you think about it, switching motorcycle seats to achieve a different look or to suit a specific purpose makes perfect sense — especially when you consider how simple it is to change out a Mustang seat. There’s really no easier way to dramatically alter the appearance of your bike — or the overall feel of your ride.

We all change our look, don’t we? We’re always switching sunglasses and hats. We wear shoes one day and boots the next. We change from one lane to the other even when the first lane was just fine. Why? Because we can. Like David Byrne sang in Life During Wartime: “I changed my hair style, so many times now, I don’t know what I look like.” We like change. So why not change the overall look and feel of your bike when the mood strikes you?

Say we start off with a two-up wide touring mustang seat (like the one pictured above) with a driver backrest for those longer trips with a partner to Sturgis or Florida. Then we switchy-changy to a low, lean or a solo seat for hopping around town or short day trips with our friends (like the one pictured below).

It doesn’t have to cost you a fortune. You can invest in a Harley-Davidson XL 2004-2011 vintage solo with no studs and no Conchos for just over two hundred bucks. Or you can impress your main squeeze on the back of a Yamaha V-Star 1300 by mounting a comfy, 12” wide passenger seat matched to a 17” wide solo with driver backrest—all for a little more than $700. And then the two of you can travel about a million miles without getting butt cramps. Can’t get much more romantic than that!
