Powergrip and HTD are trademarks owned by Gates:

http://manufacturing.zibb.com/trademark/powergrip+htd/29436631
http://manufacturing.zibb.com/trademark/htd/29282376

Why would they *not* put the Powergrip HTD logo on the belts?

Of course it's a trademark, but it's a trademark of a particular product they offer.

Because the Powergrip HTD is a fibreglass belt and therefore, inferior to a kevlar braced belt.  That's why.

Why not put the Powergrip GT logo on it?  Or Powergrip GT2?  Those are also trademarks owned by Gates and the GT2 is actually a kevlar reinforced belt.

It's really academic, I think.  I'll just call the Gates rep.  :-)

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.
