Harley's will always be fashionable. Harley paraphernalia will always be desirable. Here's a hand-made Harley Fat Boy made entirely of wicker. It's a full size, highly detailed motorcycle being sold on eBay, but for some reason, bidding has been slow. The user says he paid 300 German marks for the hand-mad-in-Asia product, but his son broke off a piece; the user says fixing it should be no problem. The current bid is at €1, and it only has less than two days left. Maybe the fact that you have to pick it up in Hamburg, Germany is slowing demand.
