Default So a knock off clothing thread got me wondering..........

Just read a thread about some Chinese knock off Harley clothes being sold for real cheap on some website compared to the dealership prices, but The thread was questioning whether other people would trust the websites "Wiretransfer only" payments...

with that being said.

So being that topics on this forum are usually about American made stuff, and you always read posts from members getting mad that other members for owning foreign cars or someone might have a couple Honda motorcycles as well as their Harley.......

So is it alright to buy "Foreign made Harley Davidson Knock off clothes" over "standard Dealership Foreign made Harley clothes"?????


feel free to discuss..................

Harley dealer clothes are made over seas anyway. Most of it is.

harley clothes are made in china.. the cheap stuff being sold is the factory seconds, or just surplus that the moco didn't buy.. i would buy it.. the ordering method does sound kind of weird.. but i have been thinking of looking for a HD coat..

If by "knockoff" you mean unauthorized counterfeit goods then the answer is a resounding "no".

Sure; why not? I'm from NY and we can buy "unauthorized counterfeit goods" from a number of 'roadside vendors'. However, I sure as hell would not buy anything online that required a wire transfer.

Well currently 54.55 percent of respondents are douchebags...

Didn't limit it to Harley clothing. Could be medicine, intellectual property, your next kidney...
