Sheesh, what a racket!
Maybe, but the early tube amps and their transformers always reminded me of Lionel trains and those big, honking transformers that were used to run them.
at the size of an H-D dealer in Vegas. Three-fourths of the immense square footage was devoted to accessories. Want some H-D panties for that special lady? No problemo!

Maybe eleven years ago. You're right, it's absolutely mammoth.
The Capitalist in me admires how H-D manages to thrive selling $100 pairs of bedroom slippers at their boutiques. The old-school biker in me is embarrassed by the entire fashion show atmosphere.
I'm the kind of H-D rider they don't like. I buy a bike, and keep it forty years. I don't wear their T-shirts (unless someone gives me one), don't buy their oil, filters, spark plugs, etc. The last time I was in a dealer was probably about four years ago, for a gasket.
I used to date a woman who was into all that H-D crap. At her birthday party, someone from her family commented that they were surprised that I didn't buy her a pair of Harley panties for a present.
I said, "$49 for a pair of sequined Harley panties? No thanks. Besides, I could choke on a sequin." I saw more than a few sour-lemon faces at the party after that comment. Oh well.
