Harley-Davidson Motorclothes
No one but no one offers a wider variety of riding gear than Harley-Davidson. For example, check out the new Trail Blazer Full Face Helmet, which features a fiberglass shell with forehead and chin vents, removable cheek pads, a soft inner comfort liner and flame graphics. DOT-approved, it comes in men's sizes XS-XXL for $175. Or the new Tenacity Leather Jacket, which combines classic style with modern features such as venting, padding, inside/outside pockets, reflective piping and leather/embroidered graphics; men's regular sizes S-XXXL and tall sizes L-XXXL, $375-$415. Then there are the FXRG Gauntlet Gloves, made of drum-dyed black leather with a waterproof Gore-Tex liner, polycarbonate-reinforced knuckles and finger pads, accordion palms and a built-in rubber thumb squeegee; men's sizes S-XXXL, $120. And finally Brake Light Boots, constructed with full-grain black-leather uppers, double-zip entry, full-cushion sock linings, oil-resistant rubber outsoles, Goodyear soles and Harley logos on the sides; men's sizes 6-13, $119.

Zippo Harley-Davidson Lighters
The Marlboro Man would have been a whole lot cooler if he'd had one of these! Zippo makes three styles of Harley-Davidson cigarette lighters: the multi-colored Tattoo Logo Spectrum for $32.95, the engraved Bar & Shield for $26.95 and the silkscreened Logo Brushed Chrome shown here for $22.95. As has been the case for 75 years, all Zippo lighters are guaranteed for life.

Metro Legends T-shirts
No one does retro like Metro! Witness these two T-shirts honoring legendary Harley-riding AMA Grand National contenders Mert Lawwill and Rex Beauchamp. The former is based on the stickers the On Any Sunday star gave out when dirt-trackers purchased his products, while the latter depicts one of the greatest dirt-track photos ever taken. Both are available in black, white, ash, orange and natural in men's sizes S-5XL for $22.95.

Daytona Bike Week T-shirt
Now you don't even have to know someone who went to Daytona Bike Week to get the lousy T-shirt-you can order online. The Skull and Crossbones design shown here is just one of many. It's made of 100 percent cotton, preshrunk, fully double-needle stitched with a seamless collar, and comes in men's sizes S-3XL for $19.95.

Franklin Mint Miniatures
The Franklin Mint probably isn't the first place you'd think to shop for Harley-Davidson miniatures, but the firm offers nearly 50 different models in various scales. The 1958 Harley-Davidson Duo-Glide with sidecar shown here is 1:10 scale, measures 9 inches in length and sells for $195. Offered as a limited edition of just 2500 examples, it's assembled from more than 300 die-cast pieces. Prices start at $55 for a 1:24 scale model measuring about 4 inches long and run as high as $495 for a giant 1:5 Ultra-Scale measuring 19 inches. Or choose fine pewter for a cool grand!

105th Anniversary Ford Harley-Davidson F-150
What could possibly look better parked alongside your Harley than a Ford Harley-Davidson Edition pickup? Commemorating The Motor Company's 105th anniversary, the 2008 model is based on an F-150 Super Crew customized with the help of H-D styling guru Willie G. Davidson. Badass in black with vintage copper accents, it sports a chrome billet-style grille, 22-inch polished forged-aluminum wheels and a slash-cut, twin-tip chrome exhaust. The Harley name and logo appear everywhere from the bed sides to the wheel centers to the black leather-trimmed captain's chairs. Prices begin at $36,875 with options including all-wheel drive and a Saleen supercharger package.

Chica Rica Harley bikini
Warning: This is not proper motorcycling attire, nor does it come in men's sizes! Made in the USA, Chica Rica's Harley-inspired bikini is itsy-bitsy and teeny-weeny but assuredly not yellow or polka-dotted. Instead it features a red/orange/yellow flame print on a black background. Choose from triangle and halter-style tops plus Brazilian and American tie-side bottoms, thongs and micro thongs. It's available from better swimwear retailers with prices starting at around $30.
