First Mfg

Everybody wants some!

I’ve got some more great news for all my MotoReaders! Apparently, as sang by the one and only Van Halen (in what could arguably be one of the greatest ‘80’s movies of all time- Better Off Dead)… everybody wants some of the MotoWriter! Ok, well… more or less. In all honesty, I actually applied for, and was accepted, to be a brand ambassador for First MFG Co.! You may be asking yourselves why. Well, I’ll be totally honest with you all. 

A while back when I was sent a bag to check out, in exchange for linking the company’s website on mine for a few months, something occurred to me. My little corner of the interweb may be small, hell… maybe so small that it’s totally insignificant to most, but over the past five years, almost 200,000 people worldwide have stopped by to check it out. While that may pale in comparison to most other sites, I’m deeply humbled by it. It also occurred to me that if just one out of a hundred of my visitors reads one of my reviews, then decides to click that link and pick themselves up a piece of gear, that is a lot of potential customers for that company… worldwide. I never thought much about it… until I was asked to be a brand ambassador for the first time a few weeks ago. After contemplating this for a bit, the gears started turning. 

NOT FOR SALE.

As I’ve said before, and I will say again and again…and I stand on this with both boots firmly planted- I will never recommend a product or service to my MotoReaders that I don’t fully stand behind. 

The MotoWriter is not for sale.

With that said, when I know of a product, service, or retailer that I have personally used or bought from and I really like it… I won’t hesitate to share that with you guys so you can get in on the good stuff, too. I’m pretty excited about this collaboration with First Mfg because, as many of my closest riding buddies can attest to recently, I have been recommending the company to them pretty heavy lately. Why, you may ask? Because I’ve had personal experience with their products over the past several years and, I’m not sure but, I think their product quality is actually improving as time goes by. A few months ago, I caught one of their incredible 60% off sales promotions, so I decided to pick up a new custom vest to commemorate my upcoming retirement. I got it for a steal, so I really wasn’t expecting much when it arrived. Wow… was I wrong! I’ll post a full review soon, but let me tell you- the quality is exceptional. The leather is thick and supple, the stitching is flawless, the snaps and zippers are some of the highest quality I’ve seen in a long time. Not to mention, the size and fit are perfect. Last week, they were running an absolutely impossible sale- 80% off site wide! I couldn’t resist, so I picked up a new leather jacket, then I sent all of my riding buddies the link so they could get in on the action. After that, I decided to look into becoming a brand ambassador for them… and today, I got approved!

What’s it mean for you?

This is the part I’m most excited about- my MotoReaders don’t have to wait for the company to run a sale to avoid paying full retail… because as one of their new brand ambassadors- they gave me a discount code to share with all of you! Use the link here and on the FMC logo to the right, or use the special MotoWriter code- RIDE_WRITE_REPEAT at checkout and, get this, you’ll get 25% off your order!

What’s next

When I applied to First Mfg’s ambassador program, I also looked up another couple of brands that I really like and use, and applied to them as well, so keep an eye out for updates on those in the future. Until then, get yourself some new gear and don’t let the cold stop you from riding over the next few months. 

Ride safe and save some money!

Unik Leather

Brand Ambassador-ing

Hello MotoReaders! I hope you had, or are having, a great Christmas and holiday season!

I just wanted to take a moment to let you all know that Unik International reached out to me a week or so ago and invited me to be a brand ambassador for them. I know the brand well, having seen their products in various stores. While I didn’t have any of their gear, personally, I know several people that do and they are quite pleased with the quality of it, so I decided to take a look and see what was up. After reading “the fine print”, which was pretty straightforward, I decided to do a quality check for myself. 

No matter what, I want my readers to know that they can trust my opinion and referrals, so I will never recommend or endorse a product to you, that I wouldn’t buy, or use, myself. I decided to start small, but strategically, for my initial product test. I figured that the best product to QC was a pair of gloves because I am very hard on gloves. I ordered a pair of their full finger gloves and now I’m just waiting for them to arrive. Since I just ordered them, I obviously can’t do a review of the gloves yet, but I can tell you that their website was easy to navigate and they have a LOT of products to peruse. I will do a full review of the gloves once I get my mitts on, and in, them so be sure to check back soon for that. 

Since I bought them as part of their ambassador program, I got a bit of a discount and in return, the company provided me with a link for my loyal MotoReaders to save some money, too. Even though I haven’t had a chance to try these gloves yet, I do know that the company is well established and that many of you already have their products, so I decided to go ahead and share the link with all of you, here. I also added it to the right sidebar of my page for easy access while you are perusing other posts.

Be on the lookout for a follow-up post after I’ve had a chance to check these things out, but in the meantime, feel free to click the link below for 15% off your order.
