Wine Coolers
This product was released by Harley Davidson back in the 80's. The product was made and produced by Scooter Juice Inc. but featured the trademark Harley Davidson symbol. Harley Davidson cut its ties to the product very quickly, possibly after realising that the bikers who ride Harley Davidson's were far more likely to be beer drinkers than fine wine sympathisers!
Cigarettes
Is there anything that Harley Davidson didn't try their hand at? These cigarettes came in 3 different strengths; Full flavour, Lights, and Milds (pictured). Again these were sold at from the start of the 80's, right up until 1996, when they were discontinued amid fears surrounding the companies image.
Table Sets
And last but by no means least... the Harley Davidson table and chair collection! The collection ranges from small bar stools, all the way up to full diner booths, and like most of the other Harley Davidson products, this promises to never let you forget exactly where you bought it from!
