    I think it was Matt Newsome who posted this link to the Harley Davidson tartan.

    I like the design, but I agree with RockyR...too much white.

    I like it!

    I've often thought I'd like to find a tartan in the colours of the BC Lions football team (orange, black, white). This would work very well. In fact, to kill two birds with one stone, if I had that tartan in a kilt, I could ride my Harley to the Lions games. The only drawback is...I don't have a Harley. More like a 20 year old Honda Shadow. But I'm still learning.

    I honestly think I'd be inclined to get something like that if it was ever produced and the timing was right financially.

    Gotta be tought to deal with those three colors in a tartan. My alma mater Oregon State University (same colors to work with) just came up with a tartan last fall. Think they went with too much orange.

    If I were gonna do a tartan with those three colors would think it best as mostly black with just a tiny bit of orange and white.

    A Harley tartan, if widely recognized by Harley riders, might help cement the macho image of kilted men even more.

    I looked at the HD tartan.....impressive.

    Well...back to the drawing board.
