#Harley #Funny - When I saw this, I just had to smile. Many Harley-Davidson motorcycle riders cultivate the idea of a tough, hardcore, biker image. Mustaches (and you should see the men's moustaches), wild hair, tattoos, leather vests & chaps, scars... you name it. All for a tough biker image.

.... and then they walk in with this Harley-Davidson Skull & Crossbones black bag. You'd expect the biker to open the bag and at the very least remove a beer bottle which they open with their teeth. Or out comes the knives, guns and brass knuckles. But no, you'd be wrong..............

#Toys #Ecological #Scooter #Cans - Getting toys for our kids (or ourselves) that not only are cool and fun, but are also ecological is not an easy task. But here's one company that has made a toy that looks fun and is ecological. The products are toy scooters or even a Harley-Davidson motorcycle.

This Vespa, approx 18cm x 11cm x 9cm (7″ x 4.3″ x 3.5″) in size, is ecological because it has been made from recycled cans. You select the brand of the can; Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Heineken, Tiger Beer, Schwepps Tonic or Soda.

The wheels move, the steering turns and the kickstand actually works...........

It used to be Harley-Davidson who were the masters of merchandising. They were even rumored to make more money selling their name on products than making money selling their motorcycles. But it looks like another motorcycle manufacturer has caught up, and probably even surpassed the Milwaukee based company; KTM.

Like most manufacturers, KTM started out with simple merchandising items, like baseball caps, t-shirts etc. All very bland, everyone had them. But quickly they started adding stuff that was unique, and because they were unique, they became fast bestsellers.

The KTM Toaster catapulted KTM into the merchandising scene. But they've had a lot of other stuff, so much that their catalog is quite big. It might not have reached Harley-Davidson proportions, but big nevertheless. It helps of course that they have loyal, even fanatical, fans that will make everything orange and put the KTM logo on it:..........

WARNING At the bottom of this long list of KTM merchandising stuff is one NSFW item. You have been warned!

And why would motorcycles be the only things that require a silencer? That's what KTM thought with this mini silencer kit, and the mini is not a small kit, but for small things, in this case babies....

Babies as we know are cute, smell nice (usually) and can be more noisy than a motocross race. To help dampen the sound of said babies, KTM have released this unique, one-size-fits-all Pro Silencer Kit. The dummy (not the baby) can be fitted to clothes with the supplied ribbon...........

Buying a new motorcycle, as we all know, costs a lot of money. It's the kind of money you can't just take out of your pocket, pay the dealer, and ride off into the sunset on your new motorcycle.

Want a new bike? You'll need to save for it. It's that simple, unless your name is Warren Buffett, Bill Gates or God help me... Donald Trump.

Here's an ideal Christmas gift for some motorcycle lover who needs to save money, if not just for gasoline money. A piggy bank in the shape of a motorcycle. How handy.

Christmas is a great time, but usually it's dark in the morning, and therefore difficult to get out of bed. I think we all suffer from this. Standard alarm clocks will probably do the job, but they are nowhere as stylish as this Christmas gift.

The Vespa headlight alarm clock.... very stylish, like their scooter. The clock's shape was inspired by the very first and original Vespa scooter's headlight, so you can't go wrong...........

Calendars are often a very acceptable & practical gift, either to give or to receive. Calendars with motorcycles on them are even better. If you're going to be looking at a calendar throughout 2013, why not make sure the photos are of something you really like, right?

So here are 10 popular calendars with, apart from having as the main theme motorcycles, a variety of other subjects and prices. Some are mass produced, some are produced on a one-by-one basis.

But whatever you choose as calendar, you'll know that's it's quality, and that you're going to be looking at motorcycles...

We're getting closer to Christmas, so I better hurry up with the Christmas gift ideas for motorcycle lovers. I've seen that many of the gift ideas have been bought (I can track the Amazon-based gifts by the number of purchases), so here are a few more.

Many bikers are very loyal to the motorcycle manufacturer, and therefore it makes sense to give (or get) gifts for Christmas for that brand. Most manufacturers have interesting seasonal gifts, some more (KTM, Harley, Ducati and even BMW), while some offer very little (mostly the Japanese manufacturers). You can visit their respective web sites for ideas.

Here are a bunch of ideas per manufacturer, all available on Amazon US, and most of them are "different" than what is offered by the manufacturer on their own site...........

There are parts in this world where the winter can be harsh and cold. Cold enough to curl up next to the fire to keep warm. But usually a fire isn't enough to keep you warm, and when you don't have a fireplace, then you've got a problem.

Putting your beloved one over you (beloved = motorcycle) is not going to be easy, nor very warm. But this Christmas gift might just do the trick.

The Harley-Davidson Fleece Blanket, or pop-up hamper...........
