So my brother (Dyna) and my buddy Andy (VTX 1800) and I go to a bar last night. The band has got Harley gear all over them. The lead singer is wearing a NYC Harley Davidson shirt (btw, don't believe there is a dealer that sells skoots in NYC, just a gear store). So I ask the guitar player what the band rides and he looks at me and goes "us? we don't ride..."

Frankly, I bought a decent amount when I started riding, but I don't anymore. I ride to ride, not to show other people I ride. I buy clothes now that work on the bike and they don't have to say H-D. But I can't tell you how many people I've met that wear gear (I know a whole family that will show up in gear without a single cycle between them). I just think it's lame - like having a Ferrari key ring but no Ferrari. Am I the only person who thinks people are pathetic who wear gear who don't ride?

 

yes

 

Your so right, but I guess we should be proud of the fact that others want to be like us, that do ride and live to ride.

 

i guess i was a pathetic kid when my grand-father bought me a harley shirt. let 'em be man.

 

yeah if we wear a baseball team or NASCAR shirt are we posers? [8D]

 

Tough to find a NASCAR dealership in town...

 

There are three dealers in NYC one in Queens, one in Brooklyn and one in Staten Island

 

I worked with a guy for 30 years. All he ever wore was harley clothes. He never owned one.

 

Lots of NASCAR shirts on people who never drove a race car [8D]

 

what can I say Harley makes some nice clothes. A shoe store in town is now selling a whole selection of Harley boots. Let'em be man.
