I for one don't care what he wears. At this point he's helping keep the MOCO afloat with his purchases. He pays his penance every time someone asks what kind of Harley do you have. I think you should get him to explain or defend his choice of bike then sit back and watch the fun.

How about sports team logo's. The wearer of team shirts do not have ownership in the team they just are a fan. The same is true of of any logo for any product.

HD intended that their licensing to product makers of the logo would be sold to none HD owners for the most part. It keeps brand awareness out there and makes HD money.

I had considered it mandatory that I have an HD eagle decal in the back of my 4X4 trucks for decades before I got my first HD. Now that I have many HD's in the garage, I don't have a decal on the 4X4.

Quit whining and start shining.

You must have not read the part where i said that I dont mind people wearing HD gear or sporting the clothes!!! I just have a problem when this guy **** talks us IE HARLEY RIDERS and the bike and then wear this **** to fit in and BE COOL...

I've seen people wear three piece suits, shorts, flip flops, dressed with there commemorative Eric Von Zipper jacket.

Wear want you want.

Wear what makes you happy.

Wear what makes you safe.

But why advertise for a motorcycle company wearing gear with the company name prominently displayed when you won't buy one of their bikes and or be seen riding one?

Agreed, And I wouldnt have a problem with all this if he liked Harleys but he doesn't and think we all follow the crowd.... he need to look at him self and see he is posing to follow the crowd he wants to belong to but doesnt cause he didnt even want to think of getting a Harley... see this goes on and on... why i am annoyed..
