It is true, a majority of Harley's income is from apparrel and the likes... the are a model to other companies as to the ultimate goal in branding. They made a name selling bikes, but made money selling crap about/for the company... meanwhile companies like Triumph and Depends only wish they could sell pinball machines and light switch covers. Their success = free food/beer/bands. I agree with MrUnix... but you can enjoy it knowing that you didn't waste hard earned money for their image and you can thank anyone with a Harley shirt for the free food and stuff.
