The main problem with the Harley bunch is the insane level of branding. I was in a resaraunt and saw a Woman dressed in all Harley clothes. I mean every thing jeans, shirt, boots, headband, glasses, half chaps, and it would not have suprised me if it wear also the undies as well.
Plus every rallie you go to there are oceans of Harleys, you have to buy a $18,000.00 bike and then spen another $10,000.00 to be able to tell it from the other hundred million out there. Its purely a lack of Individuality.



I'm not so sure that Harley corner the branding market.

For example at the recent rally at Mallory park the tent selling Triumph branded clothing was packed out by people buying Triumph branded clothing, wallets,notebooks, belts ect ect ect.
Admittedly they were not dressed up like gay pirates with bandannas n the like but there is quite a lot of people walking round with Triumph branded clothing about, and i'll even include myself as I have a jacket gloves n tshirts with the logo on.

Before the war on terror, if I saw an unattended package I used to think "I'll be having that!"
