Default Not made in USA

I hope this is the right place to post this, While out on a long ride
(1500 miles) , I stopped at quit a few Harley dealers. They all preach made in the USA. but most of the clothing is made in CHINA. It seems that all harley leather stuff in China , pakastan, or someplace like this. You pay outrageous full list price for something made over seas. I refuse to buy this stuff. I found that when it comes to T shirts it varies by dealer. Some have Hanes brand (USA) T's. Some don't (CHINA) The price is the same $25-35 for a T shirt. This premium price is crazy high, but when the dealer gets them from China and wants the same $$ as the USA shirt, What gives?? I say boycott the china shirt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't put anything past you.....

Don't eat their dog food, drink their baby formula, or brush your tooth with their toothpaste either. It's tainted.

Did you wave to all the bikers? What oil were you running?
did your shirt poof up while riding? Did you were a FF helmet or no helmet?

OK - I think that does it. Now, where is that horse when you need it?

I heard Harley oil was made in china! So which is better dino or synthetic? And whose gas is solely made in the USA? I hope no Harley parts are made outside the USA.,,,
