ACE HIGH LEATHERS
Nanci Rogers from Montague California is owner of Ace High Leathers and she has seen a huge shift in her business since she started it 5 years ago. Two things which both riders and passengers have in common is the question of how to find apparel that fits you correctly and more importantly how to figure out just where a seat is causing you grief.
Nanci is the Pro Pad dealer located for the most northern area of the state. She has educated many riders by "getting them to think more about how their seats hurt them, not how to get a way from the pain," says Nanci "Once I talk with them about the position they are gradually moving into while riding they can then start figuring out just where the problem is. Together we can narrow down the areas that need to be changed and reshaped."
As for apparel, Nanci has found that often customers will come to her asking for alterations because the chaps just don’t fit right only to receive a basic education about how you can adjust a pair of chaps to fit their shape without an alteration. She also caters to the large majority of riders who, as she says, "are no longer the same shape we were in when we were 30." Nanci always gets a laugh when she starts chiding her customers about how their shapes have shifted like luggage on a plane, nothing is in the same place where it started.
Ace High Leathers will be holding two clinic at this year’s Big Bike Weekend. The apparel clinic will be held on Friday and the seat clinic will be held on Saturday in the lower level classroom inside the Convention Center. Nanci encourages anyone wishing to receiving advice on their apparel or seats to contact her before BBW as Nanci and her crew will be very busy during that weekend. Visit her website at
