A good friend of mine just got back from Aruba - I hate him. At least, I used to hate him until he gave me a Dealer shirt from Aruba.
Some friends of mine think that you're not "technically allowed" to wear a dealer shirt from a specific place unless you've personally been there.
Do you guys agree with that?
More over, if anyone lives somewhere "in the sticks," I'd love to make a trip to one of the Milwaukee dealerships, or even the MoCo to get you a shirt - if you'd do the same for me.
(I'd REALLY like to get one from the York, PA Plant - where my Roadie was "born.")
Hey man, not actually in the sticks, but i could get a shirt from the Charlotte area, pick witch dealer you want, pm me about the different dealers, 5 within 30 minutes of my house and ill trade you for one from somwhere in milluakee, cant spell. And yes, it is acceptable to wear a shirt from somewhere you havent been. at my firehouse, we trade shirts with departments all over the country. And if anybody says otherwise, well im sure you know what to tell them.
I have one from York. never been there... The chrome engineer brought it to me when he moved to KC paint last year. I also have a few from the KC plant.
I used to discipline myself to only buy from places I actually rode to.
Until I went to Alaska on a cruise and realized there's no friggin' way I'm riding to Alaska on my bike. We were in Skagway and it was about 70 degrees and sunshine...took the tour bus to the Canadian border and came back on the White Pass train. Going up to the border, there was snow on the road and it was raining some of the coldest rain I've ever encountered (and I've been in the Sea of Japan 300 miles from Vladivostok...Siberia). There were riders at the border, but it didn't look like a lot of fun.
I cheesed it and bought a t-shirt from Chilkoot Pass H-D. They had no bikes, but lots of H-D brand stuff.

I deal with Hampton Roads HD in Yorktown Va, birthplace of the United States. Love to swap shirts with you, let me know
here is a pic of the back of an example of one. Also have Virginia Beach Harley Davidson within 30 minutes too...
I plan on picking up tee's from dealers I visit, but I think that if someone gets you a t-shirt from somewhere they visited Hell yeah I'd wear it. Some people here Bit-h about $30 t-shirts, but I think they're pretty good quality, and hey I paid $20 GRAND+ for the bike. A 30 dollar tee isn't going to break my bank.
