Hey, if you want a Harley you pay the price. It's not about speed or
comfort or looks, it about having the name on the side of your bike.


I'm sure i'm a little slow and having a hard time understanding your
comment. hope it is pleasant.
i just wanna to be on a trout stream which is not easy where i live. no
Harley needed as the speed would get me the 1st time i buried the
needle
which i would attempt my first ride.

I'm refering to the initial post by Bob on Orvis being so expensive.
If you wanna wear the name, you gotta pay the price. Does John Deer
make a better tractor, no, but they have a name many farmers want to
have on their tractors. When Perkins sales team sets their prices for
their latest catalog, they know their stuff doesn't cost more to
manufacture then Cabellas, or LL Bean. They also know that some will
pay the price to wear/carry the Orvis name. So, they price
accordingly. I have alot of Orvis gear. I was told long ago by a man
I highly respect, that it's the best. So, now I'm hooked and won't
break away even though I can't really afford it. It's called good
marketing.

You buy stuff you can't afford for the name? And you do it knowingly? You
wanna wear the name? Wow. That's very sick.

No, it's called credulity.....pathology.....something like that.

oh, and that person you highly respect?.......you shouldn't.

LOL Yes it's pathetic. But, like so many others, I just gotta have
it. Hey, I want a Harley too.
