Naah .. we're good brother! My skin is a tad too thick to be offended by a remark on internet. And you are right about judgemental public. Hell I wear my rain-suit lower as a wind-breaker for my suit pants (yes I have to wear a friggin' suit at work) everyday riding to work even if it's not raining. If I started caring what others think about how I look, life would be real hard for me.

Here ya go, Northern Glide. Be sure and read the description!

http://shop.fxnetworks.com/sons-of-a...ons-of-anarchy

"Being a part of the club isn’t just about getting to say you’re one of the Sons. Your cuts show you live and die for the club. With a Reaper on your back and SAMCRO patch on your front you walk with prestige and everyone knows to be wary. Show you’re a son for life with a true outlaw’s vest. Pull on your cuts without gouging your wallet when you don the Sons of Anarchy Reaper Faux Leather Vest. The black vest features the Sons of Anarchy patch across the shoulders above the iconic reaper patch. The collarless vest features two front faux pocket flaps and an easy zipper so you can quickly get on the road in pure SAMCRO style. With this vest you can reap anarchy in proper style.

Ready for the real deal? The SOA Leather Rebel Vest Regular is a real motorcycle vest that’s ready for you to sew your patches on. There’s also a long vest version so you get the perfect fit for the perfect ride."


Northern Glide, all we have to do is each get a vest, stitch on a Minnesota "territorial" patch on the bottom, and we could start the "official" Minnesota chapter of the Sons of Anarchy. I'm sure if I talk to the guy I see around town I could get him to be our club enforcer. He certainly looks the part.

Next time I see him, I'll put my life on the line and see if I can snap an undercover picture.

How would you feel if a Harley dealer branded all his bikes before selling them? Is that ok or not?
You're just viewing it wrong mate, don't think of it as you advertising for them, it's jsut you advertising your hobby.

I don't want to know how many they sell..............but then again I have to vouch for anyone's right to wear anything they please in the US of A.
Carry on..............

I don't have an issue wearing HD branded anything. I'm proud to own and ride a Harley. Moto clothes adds immensely to the profit margin, which doesn't bother me either. This is America, home of capitalism, right? I would prefer buy USA, but I'm not going to buy something if it isn't. Again, welcome to America, home of the free. Every time you saddle up on your hog, you should thank a RUB or a poser. God bless you for supporting the MoCo, regardless of your intentions.
