Many years ago a friend promised that when I bought my Harley he would get me a t-shirt that said "I own a Harley...not just just f*cking t-shirt". Now that I think about it, I gotta find that guy...he owes me a shirt.

If Harley only sold HD gear to HD owners, they would go out of business. We have a HD boutique store in a tourist destination and according to the young ladies who work there, about 1/2 of their sales are for people who don't ride and have no desire to ride. It's just a fashion thing.

I wore HD shirts long before I purchased my Ultra Classic. I doubt the 20 years between the piece of **** sportster that died on me in 1993 and the many Kaw's I've owned between HD's would be considered a "time out" period.

Besides, I am known to wear a Chicago Blackhawks shirt from time to time and I've never owned (or ridden) a hockey player.

Wear what you want, just keep your opinion about others' clothes to yourself if you don't want to hear theirs.

I work from home and have a pair of Teva sandals I wear around the house, to take the dog out and whatnot. I was out of smokes and jumped on the bike to run up to the store. Guy and his OL were gassing up their truck and smiling real big at me as I got off the bike. I spoke just to be polite and the woman kind of laughed and said "we were just talking about your sandals." I said "Strange huh? I'm riding in sandals and he's wearing a Harley shirt driving a F150". They stopped smiling, but I didn't.

Wear what you want.

Some funny stuff on this thread and I've got a feeling the guy who started is laughing hardest. But if its true I wouldn't wanna be him with the Harley fashion police catch up to him. I see guys wearing Hooters T-shirts and they ain't got no......scratch that they do have them.

I just bought a Honda van -- they gave me a nice Honda Owners Group (HOG) shirt. Can I wear that shirt when I ride my Harley? It does have the logo "HOG" on it (Honda is in smaller print).

Plus 1! LOL! My damn HD t-shirts (which were expensive) shrunk a full size. And no, I haven't gained weight.

Well, I have a Green Bay Packer jersey and wear it to games, but I'm not really a Green Bay Packer though. Now you got me thinking, what if someone on the street wants their picture taken with me under false pretenses?
OK, I'm being a little sarcastic. Wear the damn shirts, who cares.

I agree with this entirely and stopped buying them a long time ago because of how badly they shrink. I still get them as gifts every now and then, but I always take them back for store credit or exchange them for the next size bigger. Either HD makes their shirts, sweatshirts and such for short, little elves, or they want men out there wearing belly shirts. Flippin' ridiculous.
