With the holiday season fast approaching the
challenge of finding a great Christmas gift has come again.
Shopping for a motorcycle enthusiast can be a challenge.
The huge selection of motorcycle gifts, motorcycle gear,
motorcycle parts & accessories can make selecting the
perfect present a challenge. On top of that, a rider's bike
can be such a personal item that they will want to have
some input when selecting important motorcycle equipment
so they can tune the performance and customize the style
exactly how they want it. There is hope though! There are
many fun and exciting motorcycle gifts that any rider will
love.
Buying a helmet for motorcycle
rider is very difficult. Selecting the right fit, style and
features is critical and generally best left to the individual
rider. On top of that, a good helmet can really be a budget
breaker! Helmet
bags are great for protecting a rider's most important piece
of saftey equipment from scratches as well as nosey people (especially
children who love can't seem to resist putting trying helmets
on). Prices range from as low as $7.99 for a basic
helmet bag to around $50 for a higher end one. For my money,
the Scorpion
RaceCase 
is the best of breed in this gift category for full face helmet.
It generally sells for around $39.95.
Help remind the motorcycle rider
in your life about his passion for riding even when he's on
the computer with this innovative gift by Shoei. This fully
operational optical mouse is a scale model of the Shoei X-eleven
helmet and features left/right click and scroll wheel functionality.
Great for motorcycle related shops and businesses, homes or
offices. Also, its small size and detachable USB cable make
it compact enough for easy storage with a laptop when on the
go. This little mouse gets noticed wherever it is used. It
is available in five colors and is compatible with both PC
and Mac. Retails for around $34.99. Shop for the

Motorcycle riders work hard to keep their bikes in top condition.
A great way to help them care for their motorcycle is to get
a good quality motorcycle cover. Using a motorcycle cover will
protect the vehicle from dust and debris in a garage or when
in storage. Using a motorcycle cover when parked keeps hidden
from prying eyes. A waterproof cover will help keep it dry if
the weather turns ugly. An important feature to look for is
a cover is a heat resistant bottom to protect against the heat
of the exhaust and engine. Elastic hems and ties help keep the
cover in place during even heavy winds. Empire Covers offers
a good product with basic
covers
selling for $24.99 and their top of the line Waterproof Motorcycle cover selling for $59.99.
A good trickle charger will help keep a motorcycle battery
in top condition and ensure that the bike starts every time.
A good charger is a must have for storing a motorcycle for the
winter. Smart chargers monitor battery levels to prevent overcharging.
You really want a battery charger that is designed specifically
for the needs of motorcycle batteries instead of generic automotive
chargers. The leading motorcycle battery chargers are the Battery
Tender Plus ($60.99) and Battery
Tender Junior ($30.99).
A motorcycle magazine subscription is a great gift that keeps
giving. The motorcycle rider in your life can keep up to date
on the latest industry innovations, product reviews, how to
articles & more! You can almost always find a magazine geared
toward his favorite style of motorcycle. The price of magazine
subscriptions varies but many are a great value at under $20
a year. Some popular motorcycle magazine titles include: Cycle
World Magazine ,
Super
Streetbike Magazine,
Street
Chopper Magazine,
and Motorcyclist
Magazine.

Motorcycle DVDs can be a fun an
exciting gift for motorcycle riders. There are tons of styles
to choose from so make sure you find one that suits his or her
style. There are motorcycle
track racing DVDs  ,
motocross
dvds 
and the super popular stunt riding DVDs
.
One thing to keep in mind, however, is that most stunt DVDs
are pretty similar so if the person you're shopping for already
has one he or she might not need another one. Motorcycle DVDs
are an inexpensive gift option and make great stocking stuffers!
The
686 Toolbelt
is not necessarily a motorcycle gift at all. This innovative
belt was designed as a belt for snowboarders to use for tightening
bindings while on the slopes. Regardless of its intended use,
the 686
tool belt
is a way of keeping important tools nearby at all times and
that makes it the perfect accessory for motorcycle riders. The
belt's double pronged buckle features two screwdrivers - a #2
phillips and a #2 flat head as well as a built-in bottle opener.
The detachable loop features 8mm, 10mm and 11mm wrenches. The
fact that the leather of the belt is waterproof is just an added
bonus. The 686 Toolbelt is available in a number of styles including
Pinsquare
($51.30)
or Rocker
Studded ($46.80) belts.
Most of the riders I know are
meticulous when it comes to keeping their motorcycles clean
and polished. There is a sense of pride that comes with knowing
your bike is looking it's very best. This Cycle
Care Gift set gives them everything they need to do just
that. Comes complete with cleanser, finish restoring polish,
corrosion protectant, detail wax and drying towel. This kit
is great for maintaining that like new look or even restoring

Whether pushing the bike through
some twisties or watching football with his buddies, the motorcycle

all day long with motorcycle t-shirts, sweatshirts and other
motorcycle apparel. Choose from a huge selection to find the
perfect shirt to suit their personality from classic motorcycle
designs to humorous novelty motorcycle shirts. Motorcycle T-shirt

on a motorcycle and just riding where the roads take you - until
it comes time to find your way back home. The serious riders
who loves to tour or visit motorcycle rallys will learn to love
their motorcycle
mounted GPS unit .
