Years ago my son and I toured some raleys in <st1:State w:st="on"><st1

lace w:st="on">Texas</st1

lace></st1:State>. I did free hand chain stitch emb on their jackets, ect. One club wanted their club make into a design. My son drew their name with out of shape rounded letters for the chrome on the cycle to simulate the center then drew the tires, colored the fenders the color of their cycle. It was a big hit. I would enlarge a pattern of letters, and go from there. It could be just a drawing and done as a whole cloth.<o

This would be a big hit. I would take newspaper and take it to their leather seats and make a pattern. Then emb it, then pad it quilt it and sew elastic around the edges. The point was to decorate it and cover that hot leather seat for sitting on. It gets hot enough to burn you after sitting in the sun! <o

If you find out the make and model of their bike, go to local dealers or clubs, they will help you locate a like one to make a pattern. I did that for out of people who ordered after I came home.<o
