ABOUT US
Even when we first opened we focused on quality and price, yet we realized that a good selection of styles, in a variety of colors, would help drive our sales. That was a challenge in our 14 x 20 square foot store. To solve this challenge we found that wood shipping crates made affordable rolling closets to store our inventory. We stored lots of our core products in them and rolled them out to a back deck to make floor room with display items on racks.
The challenge was solved, but it was a short term fix as we moved in to a multi room store front with 1100 square foot of space. To us it was a joy to be able to add new products and increase our size range on our inventory.
We quickly out grew that space and were very fortunate to be able to purchase a 2000 square foot showroom with 2 levels and a large parking lot to handle our ever increasing customer base.
Today, through a remodel and expansion, we have 2500 square foot of show room and stockroom, filled with our core products as well as shirts, jewelry, pins, patches, gloves, saddle bags and all the items a biker needs. As our business grew, so did some of our customers, as we all know “leather shrinks in the closet,” so we opened a consignment business to sell those biker items that were not needed or out grown. Win. Win.
Our associates, aka, the Xtreme Ladies and gentlemen, understand that our quest is to provide you with the very best service you have ever experienced in our industry. We will assist you in any way needed, to be sure you are satisfied with your purchase, from your first set of chaps to the perfect fit on boots or helmets. Never pushy, but always available.
Come see why we have thousands of visitors each year and have become the largest independent Motorcycle Leather Store in the Chattahoochee Valley.
Our Purpose
From the very conception of Xtreme Rider Inc., the plan was for the store to be a gathering place for riders to meet, swap stories, exchange ride information and, well just continue to be the brothers and sisters of the wind.
As time has moved forward more and more riders have come our way, some have stayed, some have moved on, many have brought friends and family to shop, and share their stories.
Our relationship with many of our customers have grown and they are like family to us and especially those that work with us. We have laughed with many and cried with a few. We cherish every moment.
We are fortunate to have assembled the most loyal, hardworking associates that any business could ever hope to have. We have lost a few over the years but with loss, there comes a new gain.
During the past several years the original vision has grown to include a stage for monthly performances and a beer and wine garden for casual outdoor seating. Monthly entertainment in the garden includes Karaoke, acoustical solo performances and the occasional sing along. We offer a variety of board games, cards and even Corn Hole boards. Weather plays an important part so we have added heaters to extend this added attraction. Many friendships have started here, and many trips have been discussed.
Live to Ride and Ride to Eat, is a well-known saying in the biker community. I have heard of riders putting on 100 miles just eat an ice cream cone or enjoy a group meal at a local restaurant. To be part of that became more and more important to us and to our customers. The vision continued with the addition of a food service concession trailer, offering “Biker Food at a Biker Price”. XRC, aka Xtreme Rider Concessions, offers the usual fare including Burgers, Brats, French Fries, Nachos, and Taco salad, just to mention a few items.
We have become well known for our various celebrations, ranging from our Anniversary Party in April, to our 3 day celebrations of Memorial Day and Labor Day. We often throw in fundraising events for the likes of The Wounded Warrior Project, The Ronald McDonald House Charity, The Combat Veterans, The Widow Sons and we host countless rides each year.
Because of our outstanding customers and the XTREME LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, we have become a true destination ride for bikes from many parts of the USA.
What you ride is not important, and it’s about the ride, not the destination. However, a great destination can make a GOOD ride GREAT. Come be part of our Xtreme Family. Our vision is, as always, focused on YOU.
MOTORCYCLE LEATHERS AND ACCESSORIES STORE
Motorcycle Leathers have always been the back bone of our business. Quality Jackets, Vests, Chaps, Gloves, Helmets and Boots at an affordable price, means more to us than just words. It has been a driving force of our business model.
Motorcyclists have been visiting Warm Springs, GA, for many years to enjoy the winding country roads and the quaintness of the village. During the past 22 plus years since Xtreme Rider first opened its doors to customers, the number of motorcyclists making the trip from all over Georgia and the southeast has grown considerably.
Starting out in a tiny 15×20 space, Xtreme Rider has grown to over 2800 sq ft, thanks to a steady stream of customers looking for quality leather goods at an affordable price. A knowledgeable staff of riders help to make the shopping experience both educational and fun. If you were not smiling when you came in, you will be when you leave.
“Leather and Accessories for You and Your Bike” is more than just a slogan at Xtreme Rider. It is a fact, as evidenced by the extensive selection of leather jackets, chaps, vests and boots. They also carry a full selection of helmets, head wraps, saddle bags and tour packs, not to mention the hard to find items like pin locks and helmet clips. We have one of the most comprehensive selections of biker gear in the southeast.
The outdoor stage gets lots of action during the riding season with bands on many weekends. They also encourage the use of the stage for entertainment at the end of your charity ride or the monthly cook outs and meetings for your ride group.
Keeping the customer happy is critical in their continued growth. In order to help meet their customer’s needs they have opened a consignment store for you to sell the biker gear you no longer need or that shrunk in the closet.
Xtreme Rider has been joined in Warm Springs by a Food Truck and Beer and Wine Garden. They have become a big hit for food and cold beverages.
Music, games, contests, bike shows and a few surprises await you every April for their Anniversary Party, Memorial Day weekend, and again on Labor Day weekend. Xtreme Rider is open year round Fridays through Mondays 10am till 5pm.
