Like I have said before I have No problem with guys wearing HD gear and HD shirts and not owning a HD at all. I do when they talk **** about them and get snooty about metrics and **** on HD owners and then turns around and wears HD gear... Can you see why I get upset!?!

I had a series of Honda's in the 70's and 80's ending up with a CB900 that I had custom painted. Loved the darned thing and rode the wheels off it, but never wore any Honda gear. Couldn't stand the idea of advertising for them. Most of the guys I worked with rode Harley's. Except for one guy who I think just had pity on me, all of them looked at my bike and me as if I had pissed in their Wheaties. I asked several if Harley paid them to wear their shirts and things, and I always got the stock answer: "If I have to explain..." Well, I didn't get it then, but now I do. The wife and I got a Road King a couple of years ago. I used to joke I might be able to afford the bike, but not the wardrobe. That's almost true now too. I don't care what kind of Poser I look like. I like wearing the shirts. This bike makes me happier than any other toys I've had, (Anyone want to buy a Corvette? Don't have time for it anymore) and I like being a small part of the culture. Maybe there is time for your buddy to get it too. I still have a few associates left that want to poop on my bike as a way to alibi their Kawasaki's. I just tell them, "If I have to explain it..."

If people didn't buy Harley gear, there would be no Harley. It's a simple fact. The company can't stand on motorcycle sales alone.
So for those of you that don't want to see Harley fail, we need guys like that.
I've always wanted a shirt that says, "I have a Harley, and not just this shirt"

Yea I agree 100%. I have a Harley shirt my cusin gave me, a HD bandana also giving to me from my cusin and the shir the dealership gave me when I bought the bike. I would love to have more shirts gear thats HD but I have to save for it. Actually my wife hs a HD jacket for her bike haha, I joke on her all the time (I buy more stuff for you and ur bike then mine... )

I guess the people out there buying all the harley decals shirts and such when they don't own a harley are just trying to do their part supporting the greatest american company ! Then again I have a twisted sense of humor too !
