Harley stopped being about motorcycles years ago. It's a "lifestyle" now. Bikes....are just stage props. | ||

..........yawn........ harley is still in the business of selling bikes, but what do you think you can sell more of and make a higher profit on - bikes for several thousand or tees etc at under 100 Smart. I, too, got an email from them. Didnt open, just deleted. Its that simple. | ||

I worked for a dealer for six years. HD is *not* in the business of selling bikes. HD is in the business of selling HD. T-shirts are the single most profitable class of merchandise they have. Have you ever seen a HD shop that sells ONLY bikes? No shirts, no bar stools, no ball caps, JUST bikes? Now, count how many shops you've seen that sell only motorclothes...with NO bikes. "Bike stores" with no bikes....hm...but it happens all the time. HD is about HD. Bikes are, sad to say, a byproduct for the most part. The bikes are required to keep the name's "street cred"...but they are no longer motorcycles for the motorcycle's sake. Which is a shame. But you can look at, and listen to, their advertising and see that. All the talk is about the "attitude" and the "blackness" and the "coolness"...not a damned thing about the motorcycle itself, except for how it helps you achieve your own personal "badness". Not a single "if you buy our motorcycle you will be able to ride / become a better rider / save money on fuel / experience V twin torque / etc". Just "buy our bike and all your friends will know how cool you are". | ||

or the 5 dollar sticker for the back of your truck even though you dont ride, never have ridden, have no intention to ride. At least Bad Boy Brad bought a bike  shops without bikes - they are called boutique... you will notice it is the same name for a flower store, lingeree shop, or hair salon | ||

Reggie Pink HD at their original location, which was pretty much the size of a trailer. (They were one of the oldest dealers in the county). The HD forced them to expand into a megamall type dealer, they are no longer in business today.
Danbury Harley for a few years had a store inside the Danbury Mall that just sold motorclothes and similar junk. They have since moved to a larger building and got rid of the location inside the mall. | ||

There is a botique in Mackinaw City, seasonal, like almost every store and hotel in Mackinaw City. Mackinaw City has tons of HOT european chicks that work there in the summer, and most of them dress like strippers. One memorable time I was riding through and saw a couple of HOT chicks walking across a parking lot holding hands I almost slammed the car that had stopped infront of me, it was a little embarassing as everybody caught me looking as I was doing a nosey. Are we far enough off topic yet? Oh yeah I almost forgot.....FY H-D(spit) But I really shouldn't hold such a grudge because freeing Erik was probably one of the best things that could have happened for Buell Motorcycle Company. | ||

Has anyone seen the Youtube where some dood "found himself" in the Harley dealership ? I think it was a tongue in cheek thing. I hope it was anyway. Froggy, RP's joint was the first Triumph dealer in the US (I think). | ||

....yet. And Mark? Puh-leeze don't soil Spinal Tap by associating them with HD. OK? That's one of the best movies EVER, and it's dead-nuts accurate (I used to do concert production for a living, knew lots of guys who lived on tour). Now if they could just find a drummer.... | ||

It's hard to believe that all these fringe of society misfit dirty junk yard dog bikers are going to buy something nice for their significant others. | ||

The H-D dealer I frequently visited as a teen had NO T shirts in his shop. It was a motorcycle shop, you had to order accessories from the catalog...I miss those days! |
