Just a guess, but I would have to say, "Follow the money" on both counts!

I think it would be pretty lame to go around sportin support gear unless you actually were a friend of the club.

I live in Luzerne County,PA so the majority of the criminals are in the court house. I don't want to toss politics in here so it for yourself.

HD Nashua, 6 weeks ago. 81 with a huge t shirt stand. Didn't sell a single one, IMO. But it seems to be common.

I would guess it is because of money. The MC most likely paid the same vendor fee that any of the other vendors paid. Its a business.

In the Northeast Ohio area for example, one of the dealerships has a strong association with the Eastlake chapter of the HAMC. The owner is not a member, but he might as well be. I'm not sure all dealerships are as focused on HOG chapters as they are simply on getting business.

Dealership owners can be as varied as the bikers themselves.
