Valuable Harley Davidson Collectibles to Choose From

There is no arguing that a Harley is a Harley and anything that bears the stamp of a Harley is a valuable commodity especially for collectors who are ready to jump at any item with the Harley Davidson logo on it. This multi-billion motorcycle company is popular not only for producing heavyweight motorcycles but also for a successful marketing strategy that gave rise to millions of loyal Harley fans including those who can and who cannot afford the brand.

There are lots of choices when it comes to Harley Collectibles including miniature motorcycles, lighters, socks, ceramics, decals, key rings, scale model replicas, playing cards, clocks, clothing and even temporary tattoos. However, nothing beats having a real Harley motorcycle in your garage as part of your collection.

One of the most avid Harley motorcycle collectors is Forbes founder Malcolm Forbes who may have started riding motorcycles in his late 40s but was able to amass over 50 Harley Davidson motorcycles during his lifetime. No problem with Forbes though considering that he is a very wealthy man.

For those who could not afford a collection of real motorcycles then anything with the Harley logo will suffice provided they are original. Well, no one will stop you from collecting fake items but if you want to get a decent return of investment then the real thing will give you great profits several years from now.

The launch of the Harley clothing line should be great news to collectors who can now get their own stuff from bandannas, sweaters, pants, helmets and boots. To complete your Harley Davidson gear, choose from various accessories like the lighters, wallets with chains, and even an address book. Just make sure they all have the "Official Licensed Product" mark at the back of the items.

You can also scout the different stores and museums all carrying a variety of Harley Davidson stuff. Most of those who collect the real thing do not wear them but store them to preserve their value. However, if you have mugs then it would be a shame to just let them accumulate dirt and dust in your cabinets when you can use them for coffee everyday.

If you think that Harley collectibles are just for men then think again because there are also collectible items for the female species and even for kids like the Betty Boop collection where Betty is seen riding, what else, but a Harley motorcycle. The Harley collectibles are not only great souvenirs but they are also ideal gift items for all ages and for both sexes. You can give a Harley movie poster to film buffs or celebrity followers. A lot of celebrities were featured in the movies driving their own Harley bikes and among the most famous are "Terminator" and "The Great Escape".

You can check out the Internet for Harley photos and other collectibles. Who knows, you might chance upon unique items in the various sites or forums to add to your collection.
