Can I wear my H-D mesh jacket and gloves if I'm test-riding a Harley? Or is it only for owners?

I'm very careful to never mix up my Harley and Triumph branded clothing. Never know who might be watching.

Guy came to our group last week on a Yammie wearing a vest with 4 HOG patches on it. I asked him where his Harley was. He looked at me so strange as he said I've never owned a Harley. I asked him about the patches and he said that all V-Twins are hogs but someone had given them to him.

Just shook my head and walked away.

That's great LOL! I had a Kaw and HD at the same time and never mixed the geat or shirts. I wear my HD cloths most of the time, but if I did not have an HD I would not wear it. I still have a few Honda shirts from back in my Honda dirt bike, qaud and sport bikes days, but I only wear them when mowing the yard or washing the cars. I guess if you can't have the best bike brand might as well look like you do LOL!

My son rides his Street Bob with his Honda armored jacket. At a motorcycle shop at the end of the Dragon last year, someone asked why he had a Honda Jacket on. He said "It was on clearance."

For his recent birthday, I got him a HD leather jacket to ride his VTX1800 with.

That should balance things out.

You can see the little Honda Wing on the shoulder.

The following comment is not so much directed at the OP, but at some of the absurd responses..................Who gives a ****?

Schu has the right idea. Think I will go dig out one of my Star t's and take a spin. Then I will have to search the Yamaha/Star forums tonight to see if anyone caught me in the act!

Although this time of year there is always a ton of bikes up in Oatman. Maybe I should go there and see if I pop up on here later?
