Ever wanted to take a trip south of the border but were afraid to cross the proverbial border or scared-to-death that you would get whisked away into some unknown dusty jail-house? Or were you just unsure of what you needed to ride comfortably and safely? Bret Tkacs of Puget Sound Safety will be giving a seminar on Wednesday, February 15 at 7PM at Eagle Leather in Lakewood that will dispel myths of riding in our neighboring country to the south, talk about gear needed for longer rides, and more!
Bret is on board to deliver this, his second seminar, following his debut on Thursday, February 9 titled "Street Survival."
For his "Mexico" seminar, Bret will share stories from his numerous rides to our neighboring country including treks to Copper Canyon, the Baja Peninsula and other interesting points, and the gear that got him there. Here's more about what you will learn:
- Gear you need
- How to pack it
- Crossing the border: What to expect
- About Mexican Law: Check points and limits
- Dispelling myths about language and danger
- Knowing where to go and what to avoid
- Filling up! (Where and what to eat and filling your tank)
If you have ever thought about a ride to Mexico or are considering new places to go, don't miss this seminar. Learn what to wear and what to pack to get the most out of your ride; know what to expect at the border; get cultural insights, and more.

Runs a little big . Excellant quality. Super soft leather. Inside pocket snaps look like the base of a rifle shell. Elastic in both pockets to help retain pistol and 2 mags. A compact 9 will fit tightly in the elastic.
I needed a new helmet and did not want to chance getting the wrong size by ordering online. The staff was very helpful in making sure I chose the right size and helmet for my needs from a very large selection and styles. The price was great for the helmet purchased.
I am a thick built woman with a short inseam so I always have trouble finding jeans of any style that fit me properly. These are dang near perfect! Very comfortable, have some stretch to them, and while they are a bit long on me, they aren't SO long that I can't wear them without hemming. I may do that eventually but for now, they are fine to wear as is. I may also get some hip armor later on but I'm happy with the kevlar lining. Really happy with them! Probably have to get a second pair as soon as I can afford to!
These do a pretty good job at letting you manipulate your phone or GPS using normal gloves. Only advice I have is to read the instructions prior to putting them on, I didn't and the first ones fell off. I followed the instructions and they work just fine. Crazy how that works. 🤣
I have a number of riding jeans and leggings. However, those are all quite thick and unfortunately stiff not counting the armor. A stop at Eagle Leather in Lakewood WA for other reasons led me to discover these leggings. They not only fit better but are more flexible and thus comfortable while riding. As a result I look less like a stuffed toy but more like myself. There is a huge selection of gear at this store and a range of styles and prices to match a budget.
