Interesting point of view from a Harley rider

I like branded stuff, it's something special.
It's like routing for your favorite pro team.
Used to own a MB, bought an MB F1 shirt and a hat. Stop wearing it after I got rid of the car.
I drive an M3, bought a shirt, hat and a keychain.
With my Duc, bought two riding jackets and a hat.
When I was in the Army, I like wearing Army t-shirts.
It's all good

I confuse people with some GSXR gear I have. I didn't wear it when I had one, but now I do.

For a while I also had a GSXR keyring on my bike. I figure that way some dumb thief might ignore the stylised D on the key head and try to start a different bike with my key should I lose it

I wont buy anything with a name on it. I hate to advertise, and that is what all of the branding stuff is. cheesy adverising crap. i look for gear with as little name reconigtion as possible. all these dudes with their joe rocket matching leathers or harley boots and glasses are just sheep that want to advertise" look at me i ride a harley" or what ever. I actually asked a dude in a movie theater about his moto jacket recently. i was asking him how it worked and if it was comfortable, etc, and what he said blew me away. He didn't even know,why ? well,  he didn't even have a bike! he spent 400 bucks on a riding jacket and he doesn't even know how to ride. F- that gear advertising is for suckers........ imho.
