Anyone have any good suggestions (within reason, of course) for Christmas gift ideas for a Honda enthusiast? I know several, and their wives or girlfriends have no clue what to get them. If these guys constantly borrowed certain tools from me, then that would make it easy. Most of them have all the tools you could ever want for working on bikes, so other suggestions are welcome.
Thanks! |

Not knowing what price ceiling "within reason" is, and not Honda specific, but this is what I asked my girlfriend for. I take a backpack to work everyday when commuting by car, this one and many cheaper ones have the helmet hood that pops out the bottom to make things easy for attaching helmet to backpack if I want to ride to work. |

If they have tools, that means they have a garage. Do a search on ebay for Honda signs, banners, ads, posters, clocks, etc, and you should be able to come up with some cool, unique gifts they can hang up next to all their tools. |

My wife gave me this blanket a couple years ago. Very thick, very nice for cool evenings.
Pretty sure you can find it elsewhere cheaper.

Funny you pointed those out. I was looking at them first thing this morning, before I posted my question.
Rick - if I bought that beautiful bike, it would go in MY garage, not someone else's!
Thanks everyone - keep em coming! |

I picked up a handful of Ace Cafe' - London keyfobs when I was in England earlier this year.
Goes over very well with the cafe' racer / Mod vs. Rocker set.
Check out the rest of their store. They take Visa/MC and ship to the USA

Yea, there's a T-shirt in there but there are way too many distractions for my taste.
Also, as to the gifts, is there a thread on the site that gives instructions for making a sonic cleaner? |

Not sure if they have them but if it were me I'd love to get a gift card from somewhere like bikebandit.com I'm always needing parts but can't always tell people (non motorbike folks) exactly what I need. This way I can order what I need when I need it. |

On the gift card note, I've given alot of gift cards to Eastwood. They have alot of different products that auto/motorcycle people would enjoy. |
