Keith Ball of Bikernet.com and 5-Ball Racing and five wives (five Mrs. Balls=5-Ball) was considering how to pay homage to his history in the industry, his past wives, and his history on the Bonneville Salt Flats and decided to develop a line of genuine apparel including quality leathers for cruiser, chopper, and bobber riders.
They include a Jack Shirt with a 5/8th sleeve, Jack Shirt with a full sleeve and a Special Ops Club Jacket. Special features include holster pockets, sunglass loop and a smartphone pocket.
While in the throes of designing the first streamlined Belly Tank trike for Bonneville, Ball assembled a core team including Andrew Calogero of Crank and Stroker and Bob Kay of Biker Pros. Calogero is the operations and sales arm and Kay provides design expertise with his 30 years in the chopper industry.
“This gangbusters team refined the design and created a series of light weight shirt/jackets with plenty of storage and utility,” explained Ball, Bikernet.com President. “Our 5-Ball Racing Leather’s genuine riding leathers fit like a glove and provide all the functions we need on the road.”
5-Ball Racing Leathers are available online at Bikernet.com , 5-BallRacing.com and shop.bikernet.com.
