Thank you Firewoman!

Duh, why didn't I think of that! I guess I could just pull out my old AF flight jacket and wear it .... oops, that doesn't fit anymore .. good thing I have lot's of riding jackets to pick from (my wife says I collect jackets like she collects shoes.)

I would opt for a blue rinse but I worry that the result might end up clashing with the paint scheme on my bike. I prefer black outfits and I throw in a pair of harley orange socks to add just a subtle hint of color.

The people that have a problem with it probably are upset they can not afford it. It's a free country, companies can do what they want. Generally they will provide customers with what makes them money.
I know many of you on this site claim not to buy a cup of Starbucks, but there are millions of people that do because they enjoy the brand name.
Could care less if someone looks down on me, I own two Harleys, drink Starbucks, and have a couple of other over priced hobbies.
This is Facebook drama at it's best. Oh.......Im not on Facebook, wait a minute......Im here, lol

I guess those that live in a nudist colony don't have to worry about things like this....

Got a couple shirts cause I liked them, have owned a few pair of their boots cause I liked em, and own an FXRG leather jacket because to me it's the best damned jacket I've ever worn and again, I like it. So if you like it, wear it. If you don't, don't. If you're that concerned with what others think about your clothes go buy an armani suit and a rolex. That should impress people.

I wear HD clothes all the time. The only person I am critical of is myself for not buying HD stock back in the late 1980s when I got of the Army. I used my savings to put a down payment on a house, and eventually lost all that money plus some due to market depreciation. Had I invested back then, I would've been a millionaire within two decades.

I also wear what I want & don't give a F__K what someone else has to say. By the way, no one has ever said anything to my face.
