Bloody crappy Honda reliability

[..]

Bought a Honda branded wet/cold weather jacket with removable liner in 2003.

The red has faded to a dark pink.

The main zipper needs an occasional lube with teflon spray

BUT

The real problem is the rubber coating on one of the pop button fasteners has worn and flaps a little.

I know it's out of warranty but do you think Honda will deal with me???

Well, it is almost TEN years old.

should've bought a HD jacket minus the HD logo of course. 

If Honda had the marketing and where with all like HD has, they would be king of not only their bikes but their merchandise.   Personally, with Honda going the V-twin HD wannabee way, their product lineup no longer interests me except the overpriced Goldwing I cannot afford nor if I had the dough, would I cough up 20K+ for any cycle.

A buddy of mine that sold his road king and bought a Valk, used to say, when people asked why he still wore his HD stuff, "When Harley starts making better bikes or Honda starts making better clothes, I'll switch."
