Do your mums sew those patches on for you? They look really good. No. Honest. They do.:niceone:

That made me laugh!

[SilverGrin]

Molly, is your FatBob still for sale? If so, how many K's on it and how much?
Also, what work have you had done to it?

[Flip]

Why yes she does. Do you need her to stitch anything for you?

[scumdog]

My wife did.:mellow:

My wife did.:mellow:

With large leather stitches that look like tassles.

Oh, hang on.....

Hi. It sold this weekend. So much for the recession.

Glad the thread made you laugh USA-VTwin. That was the idea. Thought some might take it too seriously.

[DELLORTO]

who else would sew them.....? jeez!! <_<

[peasea]

That's kinda what I was wondering. I think I've only ever met three or four guys who sew and they were awesome upholsterers, but did they sew patches on? Dunno. Ask your local M/C members who sews theirs on, or perhaps a M/Mob member.

I just asked for a laugh. Taking the piss really. :2guns:

I've been given HOG membership and some patches with each of the new Harleys I've bought. The patches always fetch good money on TradeMe. I think they must be sewing them on their pyjamas.

[jimichelle]

oh good idea i was wondering what to do with mine my wife keeps threatning to sew it on my leather everytime i piss her off (which is often)

[Molly]

Mate. Sell them! You'll be surprised how much they go for. Still, some people spend over $400 on 'Life Membership' so there are obviously no bounds to some people's stupidity. Harley must be pissing themselves.

They'll be the one-piece items that are so 'now' for sure!

HOG patches on incontinence trousers? I can see them now! Zimmer frames with tassles, up-swept trainer wheels, in fact the top of the range will the SEZFD, the Screaming Eagle Zimmer Frame Deluxe!:woohoo:

[usa-vtwin]

I have a brand new HOG patch that would look sweet on your jacket! Ever wanted to feel like a bad booooooooooooy??? Got the Harley boots, the Harley socks, the Harley tshirt,the Harley Jacket, the Harley gloves, Harley shades AND the Harley telephone? If so, this patch is the perfect way to round your look off! :dodge::dodge:

I was in Rolling Thunder today. Some bloody nice bikes but my favourite is the stripped-down Dyna model with black rims, high bars, single seat. Bloody nice.

You'd think HD could get by on the bikes alone without all the HOG bullshit. I suspect their corny marketing puts off as many as it encourages. Shame as some will miss-out on nice bikes just because they hate the image.

Yup, noticed that myself, too many do it "'cos I look/are cool" and not enough "'cos I want to for ME"

A lot of really great folk in the 2nd catagory though.

Yep. They're the people who can always separate what something <i>is</i> from what it <i>means</i>.

:doh:

I think thats why there is so much Harley bashing. HD marketing reaping a fortune out of the add on crap, selling to those who like the biker image. Then you have those who are the true bikers rebelling because they have taken over the rebel image. Then you get those that cant afford a HD knocking them

[Molly]

Maybe a few but Harleys are much cheaper these days than they've been in years. That Dyna I was admiring today was $22,000 new.

[sunhuntin]

i cant afford one, but would never, ever knock one. some of the riders on the other hand. lol. nah, most harley riders are good, genuine guys who love the life. the ones who ride for the brand however are idiots.
theres a guy at work who bought a brand new harley earlier this year. i think hes ridden it twice? spends half its time on the battery charger. pathetic really. spend that much money on a bike and then dont ride it. sheesh. hes got pamphlets for next years HOG rally. im betting he takes the car or flies cos its too far for him to ride.

[Molly]

That's a bloody waste. Harleys are built to cross continents not for incontinents.

The HD marketing thing is really aimed at the Americans who tends to sensationalise everything and are very excitable. You only have to watch an episode of Dr. Phil, Oprah or Ellen DeGeneris and see them all carry on like whoopin' 'n hollerin' nutbars, lappin' it up.

As for the image thing, well who cares why people buy their bikes - it's their business, but I bought mine to ride whenever I can, not as a trophy.

He's talking about the american liberal doley market; those that sit at home watch daytime tv and try to sue the bike mfr's when they fall off (that's the American Honda buyer).

Typical American Harley owner is Republican, male in his 40's, income over $75k US, and owns three or more firearms.
