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!
