MADE SOME LEATHER GRIPS USING OLD ROAD BIKE BAR TAPE. DRILLED HOLES IN THE END PLUGS AND SCREWED IN THE REFLECTORS:

Dig your grip creation! I have seen a couple guys coat them in a shellac to keep them looking that way, and protect from wear. It gives a nice vintage sheen too.

Well, a 'slab' of beer is a box of 24 cans or bottles. We can do that in the Midwest for sure.

Just take a 24 pack or 'box' of cans of your favorite beer, and lay it on it's back. BAM! Slab of beer!

In Canada we keep it simple we call a 24 of beer a two four. We sing songs about them.
