Remember that they sell the rights to put the name on the t-shirt, they don't really make them. So for them it's probably 100% profit.

kopfs right. Harley makes a make the beast with two backsing truck load of money of their apparel and HD crap. Probably keeps the company flush! It works for "the motor company" no harm in Ducati seeing if it works for them too. I personally don't give a shit. I have a couple of Duc t-shirts and a cap. They won't make an apparel profit off of me. But good on them if they do off someone else. Hell I bet 90% of the people wearing Harley shit and have HD stickers on the widows of their cars don't even own a Harley! Hell, my step son's Dad has a HD magnetic sticker on the back of his wife's Tahoe! What the make the beast with two backs? He owns no bikes and it's on his wife's car. Puzzling evidence... If you want to feel ashamed for something else be my guest but not this nonsense.  |

Didn't someone post a link to the Ducati corporate plan a while back? No surprise, it listed "growing the high-margin apparel/lifestyle business" as a big part of how they plan to make more money, complete with comparisons to HD's business model. <shrug> Doesn't bug me if it keeps them in business and selling bikes for less than they'd cost otherwise. |

Probably. But not if you won a championship wearing it!  |

When are they going to make a Ducati shirt that promotes "Unicorn power"? I want that one. It will probably inspire me to win a world championship....of something.   |

At least the Boutique shops (that copied Harley Davidson) do.  ding ding ding |
