Okay...normally I don't "brand bash"...and I guess I still won't...I've ridden just about everything...but...

The "There can be only one!" brand has genious in marketing...they are not selling a bike...they are selling a lifestyle. I guess I hadn't thought about it till I saw the official HD Ford pickup. Still hadn't thought too much about it...

But my schedule recently changed to really sucktastic hours...I haven't had time to even get a hair cut this year...so I was looking for a barber shop in Downtown where I could slip out at lunch...

I found this... http://www.testosteronebarbershop.com/

Too much?

I'm thinking someone will be getting a call, real soon, from The Marketing Company.  Looks like an unlicensed usage of The Logo.

i think i would rank it right up there with disney.  everyone out there wants to imitate 'em, that's why honda has introduced the new "interstate" with a v-twin.

There's something disturbing about a casket with the "Live to Ride" slogan on it...

 Wink They may not want to do that.  I think the Testosterones  are tied in with
 the New Orleans family.
