I heard Harley is no longer selling bikes, just Harley clothes.

That's funny cause I went home on leave from Iraq in May and went to Disney World with my wife and went to the Orlando Harley Davidson store in Downtown Disney. It was the biggest joke ever cause it was nothing but apparel. The kids working there were no more than 21 years old and I'm willing to bet none of them owned a harley or new the difference between a sportster and a road king. Maybe that was the first of the new clothes only Harley-Davidson stores.

Barb's HD have a nice store at Philadelphia Airport. Only sells clothes. Accessories, parts etc you can only sell to Harley owners, Clothes you can sell to 90% of the population. I guess that's where the money is. Place was packed. Some bird was buying a string, another one buying something for the kids. Lot of sales.

I was there picking up a load of parts from Barb's Philadelphia Downtown HD that they left at the airport for me to pick up on the way back to Europe.

Regardless if anything like that is going to happen it will happen to Cali and things will be different in other states like it is with the cages.

Lots of those stores popping up at vacation sites around the world.
I was at a nice apparel only store in the Hilton Hawaiian Village in Honolulu. Lots of nice HD "island" clothing.

Denver airport has a cloths store owned by the local dealer. Our Columbia Mo dealer opens a store every year in the mall around Christmas with just cloths and stuff.

Hell they have been around for years like that.... WHo says you HAVE to have bikes in a store? does Ron Jon sell surf boards at all locations? nope.... no need they sell CLOTHING!!!!!!
It is a lifestyle... How in the world do you htink Jesse James got his money by building bikes? NO chance in hell. It was the 15 million a year in clothing he was selling......
