Riding the back roads makes me hungry. The inspiration for these dishes comes from some old family recipes which have been handed down through the family on old filing cards and scraps of paper. And then mixing a bit of this with that. Don’t think that the quantities are carved in stone, consider them suggestions.. Experiment with them, season to your liking, and have some fun. Remember, if it all goes south, you can always call out for pizza.

Brian started Stitch On Time more than four decades ago doing interiors for custom vans. The business expanded into doing work on luxury yachts before he decided to focus on motorcycle seats more than twenty years ago. His seats have been on many prize-winning custom bikes throughout the state and around the world. The shop carries an expansive selection of materials in hundreds of styles, prints, and colors. One of Brian’s specialties is authentic gator-hide seats. Along with making them look fantastic, he creates seats that are comfortable. Brian was a pioneer in the use of memory foam for motorcycle seats. Each seat is specifically designed to fit the rider based on their height and weight.

Whether you're looking for style, comfort, or both, give Brian a call.
