    No sales planned…And as Reuben says, we don't announce till a couple of days before, otherwise, we may just as well pack up and go home until the sale starts.....

    We have sales to have a little bit of fun (and sometimes free up space), but the trouble with a blanket n% off, is that the only thing you can guarantee is that people will not buy what you want to get rid of.  That's why we have the outlet.

      Any plans for the 555 Mad Blacks coming to IHUK?

        Makes sense, thanks for clarifying G and Neph. The "advent calendar" style daily December sales leading up to Christmas a few years back certainly was a fun time, woke up every morning excited to check what was on special for the day. Certainly added more of a sense of anticipation and drama to the seasonal sale model.  😉

          We thought it was a great idea, but it pissed off every one of our retailers because their Iron Heart sales ground to a halt as people put their spending on hold whilst they waited to see what was going to happen next….

              Yep, it was a classic own-goal….

                So the rug thread got me thinking..

                What is the story behind the Bell/wings logo? I dig the hell out of the logo, just wondering what the back story is?

                  @kkibbey23 It is a take on The Guardian Bell. A trinket attached to motorcycles to worn off evil spirits, that may, for example, cause an accident. Angels wings are often incorporated in Guardian Bells as a reference to the idea of a Guardian Angel.

                      My pleasure. It is an old school tradtion, very prevalent in traditional Harley riding circles, which is very much Haraki-san’s thing.

                                Can somebody here please help me locate the "Lock Thread" button they refer to, to flag expired sales threads for the moderators. I've looked everywhere with no success. Sorry for the newbie question.

                                  I would just edit the title to sold and add sold please move. Or thats what I do at least, idk if its the right way

                                    Very sensible question. The post that refers to that function needs editing as the Lock Thread button is no longer available to standard users and hasn’t been for years. Apologies.

                                    @kkibbey23 is correct, just bump the thread with sold and EDIT the thread title and I will lock and move for you.

                                      I’ve noticed that I can’t edit thread titles for some reason. Maybe it’s a Tapatalk problem?
