Last week, Russ had mentioned something about a motorcycle apparel shop on K-Mart Dr, here in Wichita Falls Texas. Then Saturday, 4-4-09, Janis M., was talking about the shop while we were at the 2009 4
th Annual Compassion Run (see post below). I wanted to do a post on this motorcycle shop that I had just found out about, so I went yesterday and they were closed. I went back today and they were open. The business is called
TEXOMA THUNDER and it is a motorcycle apparel/accessory shop. Scroll on down and join me as I go to
TEXOMA THUNDER and meet the owners, Jimmy & Monica. REMEMBER: IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE PICTURES BIGGER, JUST CLICK ON THE PICTURES..
TEXOMA THUNDER is located at K Place, 4708 K-Mart Dr suite F, Wichita Falls
Tx 76308. K-Mart Dr is located 1 block West of Kemp off of Southwest Parkway. You turn onto K-Mart Drive and it
is down about a football field length on the right in the K Place mall. This is the Mall sign out front.

You pull into the parking lot and park here. This is the
TEXOMA THUNDER business

As I pulled up front, this bike pulled up. This is Gary and his 07 Harley Ultra Classic. Pretty sharp looking bike. Gary was looking for a leather jacket or vest, I forgot which, and was very
pleasant to talk to. He mentioned that he and a friend are getting ready to start a new club in town called the Vietnam War Survivors. Gary pulled two tours in Nam. It was great meeting him and I wish him well in the new club...

Pulling up in the lot, this is what you'll be looking for.

Inside, I met the owners of
TEXOMA THUNDER, Jimmy & Monica. Jimmy rides a Road Glide and he told me they opened
TEXOMA THUNDER in January 2009.

Basically they have everything that you would want in a biker apparel/accessory shop. The following is from the opening page of their website and it says it all:
"

Those also carry one of my favorite items: the Gremlin Bells

They have an assortment of pins for your vest as well as numerous patches..

They have this great sign above the entrance to the back room. No
explanation is needed. Every riders garage and business needs one of these....Says it all...

Here is that display of helmets, mugs, key chains & picture frames. This will conclude this post. We have another quality business that is biker owned and operated and I urge all the bikers & riders in the area and passing
thru to help support
TEXOMA THUNDER. Stop in and introduce yourself to Jimmy & Monica. They are great people and, it goes without saying, run a BIKER FRIENDLY business. Look around and check the great merchandise and the great prices. You will be glad you stopped in. If you are out of the Wichita Falls area, you can visit
