Dealer Tees, Dots, and other "crap" to "collect"---What about YOU?

[customrdr]

I started collecting tee shirts, i collect shot glasses,ink pins, and business cards, and water bottles that has the dealers name on it.

I was real into the t shirt collecting in the earlier years. But they eventually wear out and as the prices went up it just didn't make sense anymore.

Then I see this guy at work has a lil sportster and wears a brand new hD tee shirt everyday to make sure everybody knows he's a biker (dew rag and all).
Dude has to have several hundred invested in the cool clothes.

I don't want to be "him".  LOL

I know a few guys like that, then there are guys that never wear thier HD garb untill they ride, then they look like 1%'ers! either type gives me a laugh.
Me, I look the same pretty much all the time, cheep blue jeans, fovorite boots, favorite leather jacket, and a ball cap.

I have come to the same conclusion as Pan Dan about 2 years ago.  With six drawers full of shirts, we only pick up stuff if we are on an especially memorable vacation or something..

I try and stay out of HD Dealers. But if I do wander in one, I usually grab a Business Card...There Free. I've got plenty of HD T-shirts from Dealers all over the World. Some dating back to the 70's. Some of them I've never even had on.
For the past 10-15 years I've started picking up "Bar" T-shirts. There are some bars out there that have some really nice ones. I'm talking about small bars... neighborhood bars. Not the "Boot Hill" Saloon or "Iron Horse" types. (not that I dont have theirs) I would rather give My money to the little guy. Most times if I told Him or Her the Owner; that We were from Out Of Town, they would give Us great deals on them.....And they Appreciated it! So needless to say, I've got quite a "Bar" shirt collection. And no I dont ride loaded... Many times its a beer and a burger, most times its a Coke and a burger. Have Fun and Enjoy Collecting! What-ever it may be.

Yes it is a Monkee Mobile Faast Ed, made by Ertl a few years ago. It is a goat, and about the coolest GTO customizing job I can think of.

I stopped buying HD stuff several years ago unless it is really cheap. Like a $5.00 cap or a $10.00 shirt. I am more inclined to buy something aftermarket or a shirt from someplace i just like. I enjoy being the only guy in a dealership NOT wearing HD clothes. I won't ever buy another new HD bike when I can fix the ones I have forever and I want no motorcycle after 2002 from HD and nothing but vintage from anyone else.

I collect friends

most dealers have the dip dots at the sales counter, if you ask real nice the girl at the counter will most likely just give you one, have a nice little pile of them out in the shop...never had to pay for one yet

I only collect the whole motorcycle, so far I only have one.
