Default The "other" American motorcycle invades walmart

I am not one to start useless or controversial threads, but I couldn't resist this one. Granted I was in the store, but living in a small city there are some things you have to go to china mart for. This is what I saw on my way out past the mens clothing. I know where a lot of the HD clothing I wear is made, but buying it in walmart is an entirely different story.

I am willing to bet Victory Motorcycles are super pleased to be able to sell their logo'd merchandise in Wal Mart. It will spread their name nationwide, will expose their brand to millions who may not be as familiar with it as H-D, and will potentionally sell some bikes. Good deal for them.

Doesn't look like a Hanes Beefy-T to me...

Talk about creating an issue out of nothing... Jeez. If H-D clothing is made in China, then why would buying it in Wal-Mart make it "an entirely different story"?

Hope these are priced less than the 24.99 - 29.99 price tag that my local H-D dealer charges for their t-shirts. I love the H-D brand but clearly think that the apparel is too overpriced. It's not like a t-shirt has to retain resale value like the bikes do.

LOL, it isn't an issue, I thought it was funny but clearly you and a few others have no sense of humor. It probably is a smart move for them and they probably need it. I owned one before my Harley, shirts etc.... are just as expensive and they don't have 1/4 of the selection and nothing dealer specific.

So, if I buy a Victory shirt at Wally World and wear it to bike night on my Harley, does that make me a poser?
