I'm selling my bike immediately before service and parts are no longer available.
I'm keeping my 100 + t-shirts, NONE of switch cost $50 bucks (really?) since they will be collector items and I'll be able to sell them to Pickers in 60 years for $100.00 each (great investment)!
Don't look up, the "SKY IS FALLING".
Man I work for a large manufacturer that makes components for industrial manufacturing plants. If I listed daily every report of layoffs, plant closing and consolidations, expansions, acquisitions, model consolations, new product developments, offshore competition, etc there would not be enough time in the day. Yet we have a group that looks at the MoCo with a magnifying glass daily always looking for something they can put a negative spin on and complain.
Live LIFE, get a LIFE, Get out in the wind and RIDE. ENJOY

Laying off 40 employees from the "apparel department" sounds like good news. The $50 t-shirts must not be selling well.

They must have been on sale to only be $50.

Can you imagine is they started selling apparel products at a fair and less inflated price? I’d be first in line but it ain’t gonna happen.

Used to be, every time I was in a HD dealer I would peruse the T-shirts looking for something cool. Yeah, they were pricey but I still bought one now and then when I saw something new or unique. But, after more than one experience of buying a T-shirt or two at some out of town dealer I just happened to be in and after getting home and wearing the shirt finding out it was of poor quality (not sewn very good, ill fitting, etc.) I'm through with their T-shirts. Don't even look at the selections anymore.
