First, the good news: The Breezy Brigade shirts are one step closer to being available! Leader Gen has received the first batch, and you can check one out here.

Now, the bad news: The AI-101 will not be available again until probably September. Part of the manufacturing process takes place in the Sendai area, and they are still trying to recover from the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami back in March.

Which leads to more news: A portion of all sales from this website will be donated to the Japanese Red Cross, in an effort to help with their ongoing recovery. Although the earthquake, tsunami and even the nuclear plant are out of the American news cycle, these good people still need our help.

While waiting for the pricing of the new shirts, I thought it would be a good time to offer some new items for your consideration. I've even created a new page so you can review them together. If you're interested in any of them, send me an email. Remember, your feedback makes all the difference!

Got an email from "Leader Gen" with a shot of the new t-shirt design. Check it out on the clothes page! These will be available in July, so if you want one from the first shipment, send me an email through the contact form with your size and I'll set one (or however many you want) aside for you.

Crazy time to start a new business, huh? But hey, it's better than not starting at all, right? If my choices are sitting around waiting for someone else to make the economy better, or making my own economy, I'll take the risk. So bookmark this page, and "like" us on Facebook to keep up with Breezy Brigade as we offer more innovative and quality products from Japan. Camping, riding and enjoying the outdoors is all about relaxing, and here at Breezy Brigade we want to offer you products that will help you make the most of your time "away from it all".

Some pretty cool things are coming up in July. We'll debut a new t-shirt design! Also, the Simple Speed tent will be available again then. To top it all off (literally), the new bandana designs will arrive as well. A big month!

I'm currently fitting new luggage to my Yamaha FZ6. Getting a new, bigger tail bag so I can carry samples to the rallies as well as my own camping supplies. Although the schedule isn't set in stone yet, I plan on being at the "Fine in the Pines" BMW-MOA rally at the TVA campground by the Pickwick Dam, September 29 - October 2. I'm also looking for an event to attend in North Carolina, so if you know of a good one, shoot me an email.
