I'm definitely guilty of wearing MoCo T-Shirts. The T-Shirt and jeans ensemble is my preferred style of dress. The T's I do have are dealer specific, like Maui H-D, Key West, etc. I've also got shirts from PBR, Bud, , and the list goes on. So what I'm a walking billboard some days? I don't care, I'm comfy.

Also have a pair of boots from the MoCo. I refuse to buy boots online, just my thing, and these things were comfy, on clearance, plus a military discount, couldn't argue.

The reverse snobbery is thick in here.

I have a lot of Harley stuff. I happen to like it so I buy it if I want it.

Anyone who wants to bash me for it first needs to let me know which of my bills they plan to start paying.

I have an old HD leather jacket that's USA made and no logos, only on the buttons and buckle. I just bought a mesh jacket on the clearance rack at Badger HD cheap and its functional, has HD stamped front and back. I do have a lot of the T shirts from dealers that I stop at when traveling if I like the logo's. I'm in the market for a new jacket and will go Hillside matches my vest and USA made, I like the dark brown instead of all black, my personal choice. If you buy it, you own it, you wear it !

I would imagine wearing clothing emblazoned with HD artwork is big in some cultures and countries.
I do have a HD t-shirt from the dealer in Stockholm. Never wear it though.

Thats funny, I bought the bucket and they gave me a free Street Glide! It just goes to show every dealer is different. The bucket cost me $22,000.00 by the way!

I wear a Harley multi-layer mesh jacket in the winter. Non-H-D vest when it's warm, with all sort of HD pins on the front and HOG patches on the back.

I have a leather Harley cellphone holder on my belt.

My Noland helmet has several H-D decals on it, but I do have an H-D spare helmet.

I have H-D decals on my pickup.

I'm wearing Harley boots.

Ride a FLSTF almost every day of the year.
