Now think about how many times you have seen someone with a HD shirt or event shirt on. Then you or someone else has asked them what they ride or some question about the event. I can't count the number of times I have heard someone say I got this shirt but etc,etc,etc. I was standing in line at Walmart and had the cashier ask the guy in front of me what he rides because of his HD shirt. His reply was I got a shirt. She then asked me if I had just a shirt. Her words not mine. My reply is that there is a Harley just outside the door and another in my garage but I like my Harley shirts. I don't care if you ride a Harley or just own shirts but people do make assumptions from them just like all visual aides..

I attended an open house at Hampton Roads HD this past saturday and was browsing the floor lookin at new bikes and motorclothes, didnt buy a thing but was just looking. A short older gentleman dressed in 1950's stlyle biker outfit walked up to me an asked matter of factly if I had been to Daytona this year as I was wearing a Bruce Rossmeyer HD shirt. I told him I bought the shirt there last year, he then asked me where I had stayed, I told him I stayed at Shades of Green in Orlando, he sighed and walked off, later I heard him tell another guy that I was just a t-shirt buyer! So freakin what! I bought the shirt last year on vacation with me and the wife to Orlando, I happen to collect Harley dealer shirts from everywhere I go, cause I like em, and hell no I aint riding my sporty from Virginia to Daytona, I am too old for that my back and hands wont take it, if I had a touring bike I probobly would. Anyhow my 08, 883 just turned 21,000 miles I bought it new in 08 so yes I do ride. Why do people have to be so judemental I just like to ride.

I was at the Harley shop yesterday in shorts a t-shirt that said "can't sleep Clowns will eat me". Covered in dirt cause of riding a tractor since 0800
bought myself a father's day T-shirt and walked, got a look or two from the "leather Gang"
Fugg Em, they don't pay my bills; buncha Nancy boys

Screw them, I have a guy at work that loves to brag how he had road HD for 20 years and does not own a shirt or leather or anything else from them. The ole lady and I buy shirts from most of the dealers that we stop at. We always get the poker chips, we enjoy it. I have seen so many harley riders that brag about miles they ride or the trips they go on, etc, etc, etc... There enjoyment is not riding, it is trying to belittle other people to make themselves feel big.
