Who Buys This Crap

Crank & Stroker customers in real-world riding gear — leather vests and shirts worn by bikers who’ve outgrown the ego trip. Grit, silence, and the long road stitched into every shot

 

The first few years of riding?
That’s the ego trip.
Loud pipes. Fast turns. Flashy gear.
You’re trying to prove something — to the road, to your crew, to yourself.

But if you stick around long enough, the trip changes.
The noise gets quieter. The silence starts to mean something.
And suddenly, it’s not about being seen. It’s about seeing.

That’s when it turns into the acid trip.

You don’t ride the bike anymore — it rides you.
The road starts talking back.
You stop fighting the machine and start flowing with it.
Steel, leather, grease — it’s in your blood now.
You hear things in the wind most people never will.

That’s our customer.

They’re not here for gimmicks.
They don’t give a damn about trends.
They’re not trying to be influencers.
They’ve been through some shit, made their mistakes, got back up — and now they want something real.

They don’t buy a leather vest because it looks cool.
They buy it because it feels right.
Because it wears like armor — and tells their story without saying a word.

That’s why we make leather riding shirts, vests, and gear that rides with you — not just on you.
Built to move. Built to last. Built for the long haul.

So yeah — who buys this crap?

The ones who get it.


Now a word from our sponsor…

If this hit you in the gut, you’re probably one of us.

Because loud is easy.
Quiet takes guts.
