Thanks for all the replys. I now feel like a piece of shiit. I don't think my daughter took my comment offensively. But you are right, I should have thought longer before the response. I am 52 and have been working on that for the last 22 years. Apparently more work is needed. T.

Ultrasweet, when I read you original post, I wasn't sure how to take it. But now, I feel like you were just making the same joke (HD means Hundred Dollars) that all of us have made from time to time. Explain the joke to your loving daughter and make sure she knows it was not a slight directed toward her gift. After, 30+ years of marriage, I have found that the female mind doesn't see things with the same understanding that the male mind does. I am still trying to figure it out - heaven help me.

RE: Daughter upset at Harley
I always tell my family forget the Harley dealerships, I actually need a pair of good deerskin riding gloves, I always buy those by an American company who makes them here, at a saddle and tack shop not too far from my home. I found a pair of American-made double palmed, Roper gloves that I just love, and I don't have to pay $60 or $100 for them either. All too often you're much better off buying leather as a gift for biker, and always better off buying it from somebody other than Harley-Davidson!!

It truly is the thought that counts. My son went to the bother of putting together a "Bike Maintenance Basket" for me. Quick detailer, wax, wash soap, wheel cleaner, leather/vinyl/rubber dressing and spray bottles. All items were from Griots, top of the line items. What more could I ask for.
Your daughter did real good, be proud of her for the effort, and the sacrifice, that $30 could have been grocery money for her.

You donât know how lucky you are. I would settle for a big hug. My son was killed in a motorcycle accident this summer and my hart is broken.
