When I bought my new bike last week the dealer was nice enough to give me a $100 gift certificate for Harley clothes. So I looked around the store and bought 2 shirts for around $110 with tax. I was going to get some new boots, but they didn't have my size available. The shirts are both the sweat wicking type which I use in the summer. One of the shirts was made in China which I have come to expect, but the other one which cost $60 was made in Swaziland. That's a new one for me. I had to Google it to find out where it is. Just thought I'd share.

 

Hey that is cool, Harley stepping out side the Chinese box.
One of the things I like about my jacket is that it's made in
Old Mexico and not China.

 

It is totally acceptable to the new breed of Harley owners. After all, the new tag line is not going to be Made in America any more, it's going to be "Made the American way".

As the CEO recently said, it's not as important where the shocks come from as it is that Harley-Davidson is "Made the American way" or some **** like that.

 

I'd prefer my Harley shirts and parts made in the USA, especially for the prices Harley charges. It's all very sad to me actually. An American icon that's becoming more and more unAmerican.

 

I'm sure HD sent some union reps over to show the Swazilanders how to " Sew the American Way ".

 

x, what did you get?

 

A Heritage! And still have my Sporty too.

 

You didn't share what you found when you Googled or do we have to do our own Googling?

Nice bike too! I got a shirt and a helmet, which I've worn once. The helmet, not the shirt!

 

I found out it's a Kingdom in Africa.

Here is the link for those that can't google well yet:

Congrats on the new scoot.
