So we already know that walking into a Harley-Davidson dealership is like walking in to a Wal-Mart. Harley markets t-shirts, pants, silverwear, toilet paper, well just about everything. Well even though Harley's name isn't officially on this product, I think it's only a matter of time and the company does say that it's geared toward a "Harley lifestyle." So I was amazed, see for yourself.

Take a look

Your URL does not work.

I fixed it.

Explain. Are you an Arsenal supporter?

Need to make absoultley sure.

Wouldnt want to mount a take over only to find out he was an imposter.

BUT IF HE IS

I can totally relate. I was such a Harley nut for years that I collected anything that remotely had anything to do with Harleys. I still have cartons of stuff from those days. I have a "Live To Ride" tattoo and a chain tattoo with the Harley emblem in the middle. I thought anyone that rode anything but a HD was not a true biker, etc., etc.

My name is Sandy and I am a former Harleyaholic!

I now find these people to be quite amusing. Here in Florida where we have no helmet law (and I support the right to choose), I cannot remember the last time I witnessed either a Harley rider or his biitch wearing a helmet. In the past year, we have had more than a few Harley fatalaties in this particular area.

Of course the TRUE YUPPIE these days rides an (alleged) chopper - a ride that is much more commonplace around here than the work of art that we know as the Bonny.

I was at Disney a couple of weeks ago. I noticed in the Downtown Disney area, (for those unfamiliar, Donwtown Disney, it is a big shopping/restaurant area in the Disney complex), i noticed there was a Harley Davidson Boutique.

I kept away. Had my young children with me. Impressionable minds and all that. Didnt want to set them on the path to motorcycle ruin.

One small HD toy can lead to addiction....so im told.

V-Twin wine... must be for the v-twin yuppie rubs, otherwise it would be beer and it would be beer that they made, but like so many poseur products made for poseurs they have someone else make it and slap their label on it.

But, yes, it is only a matter of time before HD buys out their virtual vineyard.

Here's a quote from their page:

This Zin really kicks azz! We guarantee this will be your favorite after-ride Zinfandel!

Here's from their label:

V-Twin Vineyards - a marriage born of our passion for both Wine & Motorcycles! This full-throttle Zin is dedicated to all those who live life on their own terms & ride free.

Ooooo-kaaaaay...

Now don't get me wrong. I love a good bottle of wine and reds are my favorite. Even have a wine 'cellar' with a little over 200 bottles. However, something about this just sticks in my craw.

I am more of a beer man.... Harleyriders can keep the wine to themself...

Like you, I deinitley enjoy a nice wine, merlo being my favorite.

The whole thing just does not seem right, maybe if they advertised it as "a dark zin with a hint of 30w and leather".

I get the image in my mind a group of snobby rubs pulling over a after a long 10 mile ride into the country, and the butler tagging along to pour wine for these wild bikers.

I guess it is sort of a novelty, but at $24 a bottle for an unproven vinyard... I'll stick with Premium Grainbelt!

Men's cologne from the Teutels; women's cologne from Spears; iPods from U2; clothing from P.Diddy Puffy Paffy (whatever his current name is); and now wine from Harley Davidson. Sometimes I have to think that this whole "cross-marketing" thing has gotten waaaaayyyy!!! out of hand.

For the love of God, won't somebody stop this!! Oh the humanity!!!

You meanlike KISS condoms, KISS Perfume, KISS pin ball machines, hotwheel cars, make up kits, toy dolls, the list goes on and on and on and on.

Heard once that they were a rock n roll band. I shouldnt be hard on them, seeing as i am a BIG fan. Now, think i will rock and roll all night and party all.......who am i kidding, 20 years ago maybe.

There used to be a member of the Booze Fighters named Wino who would have gotten a good laugh out of this. From the look of the V2 in their logo, they should try making saki.

What is the beer with the Triumph label? Or have I been photoshop fooled?

It was a short run beer from Greene King (a brewery in the U.K).

How 'bout a Barger Beer?

um...... no
