I see they do a nice line in moustache wax and beard oil. :-*

From the Scots dictionary.

Roaster
What it means in Glasgow: Someone deeply annoying who is making a total idiot of themselves. As in, “Shut yer hole, ya roaster.”

Perhaps I need to update my "apparel" choices.

I don't know what wankers are making these decisions, but please make it stop!

I bet a dollar it's women making decisions, not many man work voluntarily in marketing.

If you care to "you tube"  Bill Hicks on marketing, it pretty well sums things up. It is most definitely PARENTAL ADVISORY. I warned you.

Thank you. I happen to have seen it. George Carlin sums it up pretty well too.... :'(

It seems there may be a trend here .... coffee shops and motorcycles? Sounds good to me. Here's the latest addition to the RENA dealer list.

Awesome, huh??!! 8)

When I want to shop for a Royal Enfield, the first place I'm gonna think of is "Team Triumph".
And while I'm there,  I'll sip on a caramel macchiato and tighten up my man bun.

Pure genius, I tell ya!

Very true. We haven't reached this scenario (pics 1 &2). I suppose an unintended asymmetric beard would be the worst crime of fashion in 2016.
And speaking of the modern lady motorcyclist. Do they not realize the roads are not made of cotton wool and candy floss? (and that's not meant in a sexist way).

By the time this network gets rolled out, the hipster trend will be long gone. It's already the butt of jokes in the real pop culture, as well as here, the internet, and everywhere else.

As for the combined dealer layout, try this on for size, "For just a little more, sir/madame, you could have this real Triumph over here..."

Don't tell me that won't be happening over a cup of double mocha latte.

But, the main point here seems to be that what we think or need apparently  isn't of much impact on their plan.

Common practice in some U.K. Harley dealers, only they use their own sportster model. They refer to it as a "girlster" and then draw you too the "manly" more expensive models. Only they forget the "sir/madam" bit, because they are doing the public a favour by opening their doors. >:(

Most of us resent the "new" business model.
 We know the new guard rejected us along with the Mom & Pop shops we do/did business with.

Here is the deal with the hipster movement,..FYI,.. I was riding "singles" back in 1981 with a metal flake helmet and flannel shirt, and real Wolverine boots.
 It kind of pisses me off that lumber jack sexuals want to dress like that now, and RENA caters to them.
