Good, Cheap[er], Xmas Gifts?
« on: December 07, 2013, 06:52:40 AM »
I am trying to think of a gift for my father this christmas.  He rides a Suzuki Boulevard and I was thinking of trying to find something geared towards bikes.  The only problem is I don't have a lot of money.  What do you all think would be a cheaper gift but still be something that he would use; maybe gear, tools, or cleaning products? idk

I always appreciate good-quality cleaning products as gifts. Tools are good, also, and since you have access to his garage, you know what tools he has and/or needs.

Good gloves, neck warmer (Schampa brand maybe), battery tender, small motorcycle jumper cables, cleaning stuff, handlebar mounted clock, throttle lock (Vista Cruise), helmet, jacket, wool socks etc.

With all of the deals out there, most of these items would not be very expensive.  We even picked up a very nice armored jacket for my wife on a Black Friday special for $49 and free shipping.  It's nicer than I thought it would be (wish I would have looked for myself).  I also picked up the battery tenders for $9.99.

Happy Trails and Merry Christmas!
