One thing i wouldn't do is pay twice the money to wear a brand name when a brand that spend less on advertising but produce a better product is cheaper. |
Ok...wasn't being patronising, was making a statement.
I can be patronising if you like though.
You disagree that off the shelf gives the same protection...
Explain wild card riders & independents. They aren't ordering the
One off customs (which is why the company HQ takes care of those...
Not because of superior materials, but because they PERSONALLY hv
To make sure that their million dollar babies are pacified. That's what GOOD
Parents do). The little guys are wearing off the shelf gear with the same quality
Construction and materials as a suit made by an italian for an italian.
I see that you know nothing of making clothing.
ALL garments are lovingly hand crafted. Patterns are cut, and a PERSON
With a love for sewing or making clothes has
To sew them together.
Now that...was being patronising.
Sure top factory riders get one offs. I would if I were one.
No way I'm risking my life on your bike, making pennies,
When compared to what I earn you in sales & I can't get
My gear exactly like I want it! I'd be a fool if I didn't get
That perk. You disagree based on opinion, which you're
Entitled to. I gave you verifiable facts concerning the quality
And company standard of suits that wear their name.
I personally wouldn't buy that high priced shit because
I'm cheap. Gloves & boots maybe, but that's it.
There are better options for less, and that's ALWAYS the
Road that i'm riding on. So we do agree on something.

Still a Toyota & Lexus nontheless.
Please don't go auto industry bro.
I'm SURE that I know WAAAAAAY more
About that than you do. Especially, considering that building
Nissans was my career for some years. Those failures weren't
Their fault. It was caused by faulty parts from a vendor who was
PAID to build a part designed by Toyota & Lexus of Japan.
They run a tight ship bro. No decisions or designs concerning their products come from
The US. EVERYTHING is designed, discussed, decided, and implemented
From Japan. They have Japanese that they have moved here to oversee things, and confer with the top guys back home. The parent company determined which vendors to use, so that makes it Japan's fault...not the American workers. If they'd hv used the same vendors for parts in Japan, they'd hv had the same problem.
