Any Motorcycle related pressy ideas? (1 Viewer)

[Vanman]

Trying to think of something up to £50 for an all year biker, who already has everything - obviously

Thinking maybe a TT video or something like that, he's impossible to buy clothes for as he has to try everything on first

Any ideas folks?

Muck off and cleaning brushes. They are always appreciated. Or a buff, can't have too many buffs.

The Guy Martin TT vid is good. Closer to the Edge

Or, for an aged person, Joey Dunlop's V-Four Victory will be a blast from the past

Unfortunately his favourite rider is Pedrosa ... not the most marketed of racers, I suspect he has a whole room of cleaning stuff. He doesn't really get attached to models (currently has Yam outfit, Honda and Suzuki) - mostly 4 cylinder Jap crap He doesn't do ear plugs, hi vis or back protectors

He already has 11 in total and yes, one does have a roof on it

Maybe go to MotoGP website and they have loads of Pedrosa clothing,fleeces etc that may be in budget,they are a little pricey but good quality.Good luck in your search,let us know what you decide on.

Purple Helmets videos, hilarious, they all ride/do stunts on Stepthru's all 'approaching 100 miles an hour' !
Look up 'Purple Helmets' on google really funny, sort of cd's you never get tired of watching!

OK - lots of good ideas there - much appreciated

A number of difficulties encountered, Pedrosa - as expected was tricky, no Biography, no greatest 2nd places just a Beanie and he only has one head and several Beanies already. A Honda through the ages book nearly made it but out of stock and too expensive reared their ugly heads. We've seen the purple helmets live at the TT and he has a large quantity of TT DVD's (including Closer to the edge 3D) so couldn't risk that. Cleaning stuff he is a bit OCD about - not going there and he has a couple of Oximiser/Optimate type battery conditioners too. So, I've gone down the 'selection box' type solution that includes a Motogp Buff, a sample box of local beers and a rechargeable Cree type torch.

Thanks again

Don't know why, good company. 100% bikers.

Only thing I can think of is those not suited to tents. Have you found the perfect bed for 2017 ?

And not getting any easier since you are no longer riding a Winnebago.

I actually too less gear this year than when I was on the GS ! Next year the GS will be back on duty

Really ! It was like Selfridges. Never seen so much kit in so many lockers, there was room for a stowaway in there. It was the side of lamb in the freezer that really impressed me.

Got these bought for my birthday......Can recommend.
