I hate that too....that's why I rarely go into a Dealership unless I have to. When I do go in, 8 out of every 10 customers there are shopping clothes.

 

what % does Amazon take of a sale? Ebay it's like 10% now, Amazon has to be higher.

 

Being retired I go to my local dealership twice a week for free stuff and as a boredom killer. Once during the week for a coffee, a fresh made cookie and to read the free press magazines. Then again on Saturday for a free lunch of hot dogs or burgers and cokes. I walk around and look a little but I would never foolishly spend $40 on a T-shirt, $70 for tie down straps just because they say Harley-Davidson or $220 for the same basic DOT half helmet that I bought from my local indie dealer for $55.

 

And all of them are women.

 

 

Might hurt stealer's a little on the women's line, but I assume most men buy HD t-shirts to have the store name on them. I wait till any just general HD clothes are on clearance to buy anyways because I'm not paying $70 bucks for a shirt. Still has to be something I fall in love with because even at half price it's generally still overpriced.

 

I prefer bootleg. Support your local bootleg screen printer.

 

So, you are the reason Harley has not been doing so well....all the food you have been eating adds up to a decline in profit margin....lol
