Went to a clothing / department store Saturday where they were having an open house. Free food, free beer, and live band. They had just about everything that you could imagine there, the only problem everything had this strange logo on it and oh yea there were about 12 bikes there for sale as well, but with the same logo on them as all the other merchandise that they were trying to sell. I think the logo was something like Hardley something or another! I am just amazed at the crap that you can buy with the logo, you name it they got it or I am sure they can get it or somebody will make it just give it time. They had dog toys, coffee and coffee cans, light switch covers, pull chains for ceiling fans, wall paper as well as borders, all types of trinkets, teddy bears, pin ball machines and a whole plethera of other crap, they even have wedding sets (rings) that have the logos on. Boy that is love!! of what though?? Is nothing sacred??????? They dished out money to have their little affair but they were definitely selling there crap at the same time, the couple that I rode down to the open house with spent over $100.00 on 4 or 5 T-Shirts and yes there were even some people there dealing on new bikes. Oh and the owner of this fine establishment the upstanding citizen that he is, is currently in jail on charges of raping one of his employees and sexually assaulting another.
Yes I am proud to wear Triumph shirts and stuff and wish that there was a little more available but where does it end with that other company????? I don't doubt that they make more money on their merchandise than they do on their bikes and accessories.
