Born in Utica, New York State, Richard Stark initially trained at a building company as a carpentry apprentice. In addition to building, the company also conducts leather importing business, and Starck decided to give up carpenters while touching products closely and turn to sales of leather goods. Originally, as a motorcycle was a hobby, while acquainting with the sales of the whole country at Harley Davidson, my favorite car, I met John Bauman who was selling the same leather goods, a joint business of bike leather fashion Began. Besides the business, as well as being aware of the existing motorcycle fashion, he began seeking the fashion he wanted to wear himself, pulling in the engraving craftsman Leonard Camhout and started the business of leather fashion for motorcycles .
