I understand. My dealer has those expensive shirts. I just refuse to buy them. I have purchased 90% of my HD shirts on sale/clearance. I just got 3 more the other w/e. Average cost was $7 each. And they are badass!

They are the kings of marketing! I will give you that for sure!!! Most people don't even know that Suzuki sells apparel.

True... the original XRs were dirt track racing. But still not off roading like what Trip wants.

Oh and Trip... the gas station thing... sounds like a great idea. Hows that any different that the gas station selling shirts at the GAP?

The airport in Cancun and here in Detroit both have HD tshirts for sale. People want. Why not sell to them?

True. They are kings. That is also why they will alwys survive. They have done one better than probably any other brand of anything has ever done before. Think about it.

And to compare it to any metric brand is almost laughable. Before the inception of Yam Star line, if you own say a Honda Sabre or VTX. You walk into the Honda dealer to get some pegs or grips or something in assecories. They don't have it in stock, maybe not even manufacture it. That is why you will see metric guys in HD buying things like highway pegs and other things that can be unviersally fitted.

Because we don't want the asshats that come with it. We don't like DGMR selling beer and catering to the same asshats either.

Well you aren't one of the asshats. They try to block people wanting to pass. Ride 15 deep and leave no room to get around at 12 mph. Don't use the pull offs. I know this isn't required, but they come to this road as tourists knowing full well what the road is about and totally betray any ethics they have about riding.

They also are the ones that threaten the life of a TDOT worker because the TDOT worker was sent to guard a barricade due to a rock slide.

I know you weren't talking about me. But I just had to get you on that. Even since you jabbed me about Gaywings.

And all that stuff you meantioned is BS. But I'm sure there are other brand riders that do the same thing. Maybe not as often but then again, there are more hd riders in groups than others.

What about groups of Wingers?

Do you work in sales? You have the right attitude for it.
