I bought some tinted safety glasses at Grainger ...When I got home I found out they were HD glasses...not bad for $11...

Diversifying might keep 'em afloat through tough times ?? 
Whose pkg. were they in?

They have a full line of harley welding gloves and safety glasses and some other HD stuff too...
Harley makes over 50% of their money in selling their trademark...

Sorry Tireater, but that is a bunch of BS! The income HD earns for whoring off thier logo in chump change compared to the income from bike sales. Check HD finacials on thier website, it is all there. If HD never sold another HD logo'd item they probably would not even notice the loss of sales it is so small. Here is a pie chart for HD's 2007 income.

So, Harley-Davidson made a touch over $5,700.00 in 2007?  That seems about right.  Ray

Yeah, Ray....if your shop hadnt stole all that HD business, they would have made millions!  No wonder they came after you!  ;-)

For those who dont know, MoCo went after Ray in a BS (bull-shot....not Bar and Shield...sort of)  lawsuit, and nearly ruined his life.  Like Ray, I will not forgive them for how they treated him and his family. I am sure they have doen the same to others.

Do you have a pie chart for what they grossed in 2007?

That chart is '07, and yet, billions of dollars.
