£65 for a made-in-China tee shirt.
It makes the HD motorclothes (tm) look like pretty good value.

Shakes head in disbelief - I could knock that out for a fiver and a John Bull Screen print kit.
The whole Triumph gear situation is starting to annoy me. I almost had a stand up row with a dealer the other day about Triumphs insistance on changing their line every year, while letting classic lines go completley.
He was trying to insist Triumph have to keep up with the times, while I was trying to point out that although this was true in some instances, names and styles like Bonnies T-Birds and classic leathers (like the Highway Jacket) were like Black - and thus NEVER go out of fashion. he tried to argue that if that was the case why did they not sell many Highway Jackets? To which I argued well @ £275 I wasn't surprised - it was a good jacket but not 300 quid good

& if instead of dropping it, they had got the price down to under the two ton, they might find they sold more.
(This comes about because I want a good patrol/highway jacket but with CE pockets, goretex lining and venting - i.e. very similar to the highway, but no one makes one that I can find, this side of the pond. )
