5 months and 5 posts and you are going to post this?
These threads are all over the forum. They charge $75 b/c people pay it. Find a comparable sweatshirt you might even find it is competitively priced. (but I doubt it)
As far as the China thing? It's a world economy. They can make it for a lot less and improve their margin. It's called capitalism. You'd likely do the same thing. Believe it or not some of this China **** is better than what can be bought domestically, IF it can be bought domestically at all. If Harley customers refused to buy stuff made overseas then Harley customers wouldn't even be buying Harley's with all the foreign parts they've got on them. Harley would go American real quick or be out of business. Don't see Harley hurtin' do ya?

You give them $75 (+tax and/or shipping) and they will give you the shirt. What else is there to explain.

Yeah, 2012 Harley Davidson Twin Cam: $25,000 No more forged cranks, No more Timken Lefty Bearing, No more wheel bearings that last 100,000 miles, No more compensatores and inner primary bearings that lasted the life of the bike.

Can somebody please explain?

I can. Let's just say that Harley knows their current crop of customers pretty well....

That is the law of supply and demand that I learned about in Jr. High School. Need a refresher course.

Go to Pebble Beach and see what they want for some of their stuff.

Best thing about a $75 sweatshirt is, you don't have to buy one.

I fully understand how everything works... Being made in china, but for the price i think we could find somebody in the usa to make the stuff . It just seems that what hd stands for is made in the usa and this is very false.
