Our family lives for motorcycles, or at least it seems that way. We all ride and attend as many shows, exhibits, races, and events that we can possibly fit into each month. I particularly enjoy vintage motorcycle shows, particularly when they highlight a variety of bikes from the 1950's through the 1980's. Living on the west coast affords us lots of opportunities to indulge in our bike passion. On the other hand shows like the Euro Moto offers us fans to see new products first hand and take advantage of some amazing deals.‹The day we were getting ready to attend the 2013 Euro Moto at the Lynnwood Convention Center, my girlfriend sashayed out to the driveway wearing a lariat chocker collar made from a zipper and a couple of classic cubic zirconia rings! All the other females immediately went running over to see it. Where does she get these cool jewelry pieces? my sister asked me. She steals the show every time. Hattie heard her comment and explained she had found this e commerce site that sells conceptual, artistic jewelry. The brand's focus is to create jewelry that one can wear daily, yet still retain the sense of individuality and edginess. My sister replied You sure have that in spades!, got on her motorcycle and drove off. A bit of a tiff, I thought. But we still all enjoyed the show. My favorite part was the demo rides on the latest, hottest models from Aprilia, Moto Guzzi and Triumph and the BMW SMARTrainer riding simulator. But on my sister's birthday the following week, Hattie and I gave my sister a Choker Collar Necklace in black, much to her delight and peace was restored.
