I wonder if the toilet seats are more comfortable than the stock seat of my 2010 Ultra?

I don't think I've ever seen anything HD branded for sale at my local WalMarts, but I DID see Harley brand BEEF JERKY at a Sheetz (gas station/convenience store)

Nothing new. When I owned a engine and outboard shop in the Netherlands, being a authorised Johnson dealer, the importer started to sell the outboards via the oulet store annex supermarket in our vincinity. We protested but the importer saw only dollar signs (in that time Dutch guilder signs) in their eyes.
We decided to don't give any service anymore to these outboards nor execute any warranty or repairs but direct the clients with problems directly to the oulet shop where they 've bought the outboards, they gave in.
The outlet shop annex supermarket could of course not give any service, had no clue of technical things and saw only the sales profit. Stupid think, stupid go..
But jackets and clothing are other things, in my opinion. Of course it is China made, but I presume that half of the electronics of my Harley is too.

I tried the Harley toilet seat but it was uncomfortable on those long, Sunday morning read the paper dumps. Ever since I switched out to the Mustang, I can go a lot longer without those annoying leg cramps.

Have you seen the 2011 seats, they have a bigger hole, better flow, but the exhaust smell is horrible

Alright! We haven't had a WalMart bashing thread in what...a week?

I always get a kick out of you guys that never shop at WalMart. So, where do you go? Target? KMart? Walgreens? It's all the same China crap, just comes in a different box.

By the way, I have never seen any HD stuff in any of our WalMarts. They must send that stuff to the high rent districts.

Rumor has it that those Victory shirts are from a line of T's created by Shu and he is busting them out in his home state before they go nationwide.
