I think that's one of the most idiotic things I see on the road. Yes, we get it, you're on a Harley (is that something to be proud of?). We know you're some type of 'rebel'.
But really, a jacket that says 'Harley Davidson' on the back? Why?
That's like a guy with a BMW or Benz with a 'Mercedes Benz' Jacket. COOOL! Or NEON JACKETS! What do you think SRT guys? A sweet DODGE Jacket??
I think we should carry this further. We should have jackets for how much our houses are worth, or how much money we make! SYNCRUDE Jackets!! Oh yeah baby!
:rolleyes: |

Come on tell us how you really feel:lol:
I think its way worse when they got a 500$ harley jacket and don't even have a bike, lol.
I can appreciate the true biker guy. A guy thats rode for 50 years for example, you probably don't see them wearing a harley jacket. My wifes dad is a old school biker, rode with the Grimreapers way back, Warlocks, and so on. I don't even think he has a harley jacket.
Posers are funny |

It helps em look more badass, which is the point of riding the harley in the first place.Notice how guys on bikes are always straight faced and badass lookin when they look over at ya while your driving?I dont think ive EVER IN MY LIFE witnessed a dude on a harley smiling. EVER.
Its hardCORE. |

I've a Porsche Design toque and golf bag and i love'em. You're going to have a label on most of the clothes you buy anyways, it might as well be something you love.
although I don't think I'd go as far as a brightly embossed jacket ala

Like my dad was with his Goldwing. Singing and/or drinking his damn coffee and/or smoking while riding. :blink: |

Why do guys on Honda bikes wear Honda jackets? Or Triumph guys wearing Triumph gear.... it's just a brand.
If you're trying to make a statement about Harley riders why not just say it? This is a weak discussion. |

Maybe we should find out where those guys work and send them a fruit basket or a teddy-gram or something.
What could it hurt? :dunno:

It'd probably work for you in Diggers/Oil Can. But like I implied earlier you probably don't want what you might be able to catch there. Be afraid... be very afraid.

Do you think that's what it is all about? Being a rebel? Most clothing comes with advertising these days...I wouldn't get on a bike without my gear and chances are good there is some writing on it...leather is going to slow my body down faster than if I was just wearing some jeans and light jacket.
I sure wouldn't wear a Honda jacket if I was on a Harley ;)

Yeah, some. Some will also knock your teeth out.
Only nice bikers I have met are older HA guys. Majority of the younger ones are assholes. |

I don't see what the big deal is. If you own a Harley or Triumph or Honda or whatever, and you're really into it, it might make your day to have other shit that goes along with it. It's just an expression. It's no different than Subaru guys that wear Subaru hats or something like that.
What I find annoying is all the douchebags who wear Ferrari gear like some sort of fashion statement when you KNOWWW that they'll never own one in their life. |

True enough, those guys could just support the Ferrari racing team though. |

There's a big difference between people driving cars, and people on motorcycles.
On a motorcycle a leather jacket is part of your safety equipment. You are an idiot if you don't wear one. So since you pretty well have to wear one, you might as well have it match what you're riding right? Where in a car it's not necessary, so it's a whole different ball game.
Having a a jacket to match your car is pretty damn gay IMO. It's not part of something you actually need to operate it and stay safe. |

Harley has done a great job at marketing their brand... They don't sell the motorcycle, they sell the idea of the bad ass on the open road, free to *uck what ever he wants.
If you wanna be cool, you buy a harley and let every one know you are a rebel...
Most true enthusiasts will purchase a leather jacket, not because it says "harley davidson" on the back, instead, the jacket will satify a need (safety equipment)
Personally, If a harley rider wants to wear harley clothes while riding, I have no problem with that... If they own a harley... If they don't own one, untill they do, they are just dreaming...
just my 2 cents |

Ding ding, you win. But I would add narcissism and vanity to it as well....

How common is that though? More often it's just some brown guy flossin a Ferrari jacket along with his curvy D&G shades. |
