Default Really bothers me

There are a couple guys that I know who ride metric bikes. Anyway, they have all kinds of Harley clothes and leather. For some reason it really bothers me when metric riders wear Harley gear.

Do you know what I mean??

Doesn't really bother me. I just bought HD jackets for my grandfather, grandmother and mom for Xmas. Only time any of them rode was my G-pa in WWII. They love the jackets and all wore them out to dinner night after Xmas. Actually between the shirts I got for my brother and dad, I was the only one at the table without HD gear on...

What bothers me is when some fat chick is wearing clothes that does not fit and I have to see her blubber all over.... That bothers me... It does not matter to me who wears what when they are riding their motorcycles, I laugh at how ridiculous some people dress or in other cases overdress.....



If they are your buddies? buy them harleys......[sm=yikesomg.gif]

Nope, what the heck difference does it make? After all, HD apparell is good quality, fashionable (who cares?) and very popular. I see it as kinda like Wranglers vs Levis.....

not a big fan of metric riders wearing harley labeled gear either.
also not wild about them wearing big american flags on their backs, but that's just me. don't mind them being patriotic, but seems just a little out of place.

Why ? it's a free country. I have a Metric bike and No H/D gear at all..... some people just like the look.

Would seem out of place with Harley logos all over the gear, but much of the clothing is good quality. Could also be pure envy!!!
