Harley T-Shirts

[ISP-FL]

Prior to leaving VN, two close friends and I agreed to all purchase Harleys and spend a summer riding around the U.S. It never worked out. One buddy had a head-on motorcycle accident and was disabled, and my dumbass got married and couldn't afford a Harley. I never gave up on that dream though.

So when my wife (3rd wife) and I retired back in 2012 (my second retirement), we rode our Ultra Classic out west for the first time. We took a month and explored a ton or back roads. Most of the dealerships we stopped at we bought a tee shirt. Several years later my wife took all those tees out of my drawer, cut them up, and hand quilted a quilt so we could always remember our first long distance motorcycle trip.

I still wear a Harley tee almost every day. I agree they are way overpriced. There were a lot of tee shirts cut up to use in that quilt, but I wouldn't take $10,000 for it.

Wow…$47.99…When I was a kid my Old Man would always say for $50 bucks he could buy a new Car....

I bought a car for $50. It only lasted about a month. Sold to the junkyard for $35.

Here is the pic of my Harley quilt. Had to crop it down, but you get the idea.

Wow, that is AWESOME!!!

I know exactly where Walter’s Bros and Chicago H-D are in Illinois! Love how each dealership picks up on the local theme.

Walter Bros is still clicking. It isn't a huge dealership but I always stop in when we are back in the home area.

I wanted some nice polo type shirts but wanted them in cotton or mostly cotton. I have a couple Harley polo type shirts so I decided to 'go shopping on eBay' and see if any were available. And there were many to choose from and at prices from $10 to $20 so I got seven 'new' shirts and while they may not be 'brand new' they show little signs of wear and are just what I wanted. Lots of Harley t-shirts also on eBay and significantly less than new at dealer price.
