Episode 045 - Black Friday - Top 10 Gifts for Motorcycle Riders

===

Bottom Line

---

the bottom line is if you have motorcycle people in your circles get them something motorcycle for Christmas man. Perfect. Yes

Top 10 Gifts for Motorcycle Riders

---

yeah, so maybe we should start with our kind of we're gonna do 10 Black friday ish Motorcycle gifts that you can get for the motorcycle lover in your family. Yeah Yeah, not not necessarily black friday, but yeah leading up to christmas We're going to release this near black friday.

Number 10: Kickstand Pad

---

number 10 idea is a kickstand pad And so kickstands pad is kind of what you think it is It's a plastic generally speaking pad that goes underneath your kickstand and where it's important Is when it gets hot And sometimes if it's muddy,~ um,~ if you end up having to park in a In a grass, you know, a grass field, which does happen from time to time.

So, it basically just creates a bigger surface for your bike to kind of lean on. And doesn't let the kickstand drill itself into the ground. It's like a puck, right? Which I believe when we came from,~ um,~ Nashville. We did come back to, I think one of our guys bikes was literally in the asphalt and you just don't realize that it's like, Oh my, like this thing really did that.

And what you do is you some, some kickstand pads have a hole, some need to get a hole drilled into them, but you put paracord in and then you,~ um,~ two reasons, most of the time, like, cause of the way I've lost learned this lesson was I left the kickstand pad back there. And then the second thing is to get your kickstand pad out.

The easy way is get on your bike, lean it back up. And then, but then it's really hard to reach down and grab. The kickstand pad. So yeah, you attach the paracord on and then you can just reel it up. Yeah So you put the paracord on and wrap it around your handlebars I usually just make a loop so that I see it and remember it Oh, yeah, or at least it makes a jingling sound when it's careening down the road after tick off with it on there, but and then what's nice about most of them, they're so small that they ~um, ~Just wrap up and then can either fit in a tank bag or just a quick bag But, and there's some fun ones too.

Yeah. Perfect. Perfect.

Number 9: Flashlight

---

Number nine? Alright, the number nine idea for, uh, the motorcycle person in your, in your life. This will be a stocking stuffer, would be a flashlight that has, uh, some sort of a movable, uh, ~Um, ~or flexible head so that, uh, when they pull over it's dark, they can either, you know, use that to like put a, if it has a magnet magnetize it onto the side of the motorcycle and then bend the flexible head to wherever they need or set it on the ground.

Or you have to have someone else hold it for you. Yeah. We know how that ends up. So no, yeah. I mean, it's just a great, easy,~ um,~ cheap, what probably 15 or less. And then led is always good. ~Um, ~since the LEDs have really come on the scene, I mean, they last forever. Oh, yeah. I mean, they just, you don't have to worry about the batteries dying and things like that.

You have to worry about the battery exploding inside of it. That's true. Sometimes even rechargeable,~ um,~ which is nice too, so.

Number 8: Motorcycle Dolly

---

So, on the number 8 spot of our best gifts for, uh, motorcycle peoples is something that we would call, I guess, a motorcycle dolly. So, if you can imagine,~ um,~ a 2x4 with a little leg off it.

There's some that,~ um,~ most of them usually put it in the kickstand position though. And so basically what happens then is you can then, it just has little dolly wheels on it. You get it up there, you set it down, you kind of adjust, you can adjust so it's adjusted for your bike. But once you get it adjusted, then you ride up on it.

And then you put your kickstand down and then you kind of can get off and roll it around. I mean, you have a situation that this is perfect for, right? Yeah. And I haven't purchased one yet, but I'm going to go ahead and get one today. Maybe you'll get one for Christmas after Black Friday, Todd. Maybe I should wait.

So I really need to slide it into place in this type of dolly would be perfect. And because like, you just can't kind of maneuver it. And then the other thing that's really nice is you can. You can spin the bike around, you know, too. So, you know, I mean, sometimes again, they're small. Based on the driveways and all that junk you can just spin it around for you So yeah, one of the places that has a great deal on these is Harbor Freight It's just one of their you know, it's a twelve hundred and fifty pound which pretty much covers most motorcycles.

Yeah That's a hundred and twenty bucks now. They do have some really nice aluminum, you know nicer ones You can spend your way all the way up to four hundred or so dollars But honestly, they they seem like they all pretty much work the same and then you know On the ends they usually have some sort of a mechanism that chocks the wheels and kind of gets the dolly wheels off.

No roll backwards So exactly just spin the motorcycle around and then head out that way But I can do a report on this after I get one because I am gonna get one very soon. That sounds good. Yeah

Number 7: Motorcycle Lift or Jack

---

Okay, uh, number seven best gift. So, yeah, we're kind of talking about a dolly, but this is a motorcycle lift.

Uh, for people who want to work on their motorcycle, need to get both tires up off the ground. Oil changes, tire maintenance, those kind of things. Yeah, all that stuff. ~Um, ~You know, when you don't want it leaning on a kickstand, you need, you know, you want it to be flat and square. So they make small ones that, uh, just like a, well, go ahead and explain to you.

~Um, ~for yourself and that like both wheels would sit on it. You drive up, it's, you know, it'd be like two or three inches off, probably five inches off the ground. And then you can jack it up and it'll lift the whole entire motorcycle. The small ones are if think about a two by two square And those then you drive you roll it under your motorcycle And then you lift it up and that's very common for like oil changes and things But what it's really nice for too todd and this one i'd probably suggest the bigger one for It's just just getting to eye level with your bike.

Sometimes it's like when you're working on trying to do all these things It's so low, you know, like you're trying to run a wire somewhere and it's just a really pain So the big ones Harbor Freight, 500. The small ones aren't a whole lot cheaper at 200 because they both kind of have to lift the same weight.

Harbor Freight. And do the small ones still lift the amount of weight if you have a heavier bike? Yeah, they do. ~Um, ~but they're just, I wouldn't be, what you don't get with those is like if you were trying to like take apart your fairings or something. They're not quite as stable as the big ones. So that's kind of the big difference.

That totally makes sense. So that one was our most expensive one there at seven.

Number 6: Motorcycle Cover

---

And it's just really to take the sun off your bike and kind of keep people from looking maybe at all the stuff that's on your bike. So it's, you know, wraps over the top, but it really just goes down to about seat level. Doesn't cover the wheels doesn't cover the wheels or the bottom part of the frame.

Yeah at all Yeah, and those run anywhere from thirty to ninety nine dollars not really I mean the half and the full are about the same price and it really just kind of depends on the quality Yeah of what you get but we do like the half especially even when we're on a trip ~Um, ~just depending on the time of year, sometimes you get just dew and wetness from the overnight.

And just keep the sun from baking on it if it's sitting outside during the day. Right. And even when it rains, it's nice because it keeps everything dry. But to your point, too, I really like that the,~ um,~ like the electronics they get,~ um,~ People don't see them. You know, the way we have them all attached, they can't really come off, but like, I don't really need someone with a screwdriver trying to decide if it can come off either.

Yeah. Yeah all that stuff.

Number 5: Motorcycle Legos

---

So What do you have at number five best gift for motorcycle lover Todd? Kind of a fun one here, uh, a Lego motorcycle kit, actually. Uh, they, you know, there's all different,~ um,~ numbers of pieces for difficulty level. And, and you can spend anywhere from 20 bucks for a little motorcycle one up to a hundred.

So like, if you're thinking about this, maybe try to sneak a peek at what brand of motorcycle,~ um,~ you, your, your person has, and then,~ um,~ maybe be able to find the model and color, but this was fun thing we found and it's just, uh, it's just something different. Yeah, for sure. It's hard to find things for everyone to buy.

Right. Thank you.

Number 4: Battery Tender

---

The next, uh, item is number four, uh, gift that we probably got to have, right? It's either battery tender and or like a battery jump pack. The jump pack has gotten so small these days. They're just so handy. And I think some of the jump packs actually maybe even come with like a tire inflator as well.

So you can yeah, plug in really nice and easy. And the jump packs are just basically a small battery that helps you jumpstart. ~Um, ~if, if something happens, the other thing that's jump packs now also have is USB. ~Um, ~so you can use them to charge things. ~Um, ~I like doing that now and you know, I wired my old dang bike to have full power or some power.

And then I use the jump pack to charge up my headset. Oh, when we're breaking anyway. So I'm not sure why I did all that work, but,~ um,~

Number 3: Motorcycle Deatailing Kit

---

what about our number three item, which, uh, you can buy for your motorcycle person for holidays. It's nice to get them a kit for cleaning a motorcycle. You can get all the detailing products, you know, put them in a little basket or put a little bit in a bag.

It doesn't just have to be them, but their stuff is pretty quality product, but yeah, and this is like 12. You can get a kit all the way up to like 150. And even like I was thinking conditioning seat conditioner to like, especially if it's leather, you know, you just keep all those things really nice. And it's a, it's a nice thing.

And they probably have some of these things already, but it's, it's cool. Like microfiber towels. There's just a lot that goes into it. The things that don't scratch. And one thing I've, I've noticed too, with bikes I've had, uh, when they sit in the sun a lot, you know, like the plastic parts on the handlebars where your switches are, or even, uh, maybe at the back tire, you know, there's a bit of a fender that's black.

Yeah. They'll start to bleach out and get a little white and there's products out there. I think it's Meguiar's or Mother's that makes, it's called back to black. Yeah, and put a little on the rack, put a little on the rag and wipe those things down and they do, they, they look black again. It's, it's pretty nice.

Yeah~ Um, ~so

Number 2: Motorcycle Computer

---

what comes in at number two is something that a couple of our people that have added onto their Bikes is i'm going to call it a motorcycle computer. I don't know exactly what's called It's basically carplay and android auto for your bike so this usually attaches to the handlebars somewhere and it's basically, uh It connects to your phone You And so, you know, we've talked about this a little, especially in the motorcycle statistics episode about,~ um,~ writing safer, right?

I mean, so what this does is it Bluetooth to your phone and your headset and allows you to kind of communicate to this computer to say, Hey, read me that text message or puts your Google maps on there. And so you don't have to have your phone up there. And one nice thing about that is then you can put the phone away.

Yeah. It, and. Those would even, if you had a headset and you're like a Bluetooth headset inside your helmet, you could Bluetooth it that way as well, right? Yeah. Well, and you still Bluetooth your phone, but then you also Bluetooth the headset. Yeah, you can Bluetooth both. And so then you can do music, you can do audio controls, and a lot of times it'll do the voice commands, which is the thing we really recommend.

And it's funny because I have, uh, I have an Android device in my car. and actually on my motorcycle it's built in. So I have a thumb switch that I can actually navigate and I find myself trying to figure out how to navigate my one in the car, in the car, and it's like, come on, car people like, let's get with it.

I mean, for the most part, you said 99 at one 30 to one 90, depending on the features. If it has the cameras and the,~ um,~ tire pressure sensors, it's a little bit more. ~Um, ~but those are again, nice things to see. I know. You can get tire pressure sensors. It's kind of a bonus one that, that is Bluetooth and attach your phone.

It'll give you an alert if they're low, which is nice, but this is just one of those things you can check it and see. So yeah, for sure.

Number 1: Bohn Body Armor

---

What do we have coming in at our number one favorite? Our number one favorite has to be Bond body armor. It's so good. Yeah. You know, we'll talk about this a lot. I'm sure for a little while here, but.

You sweatshirt. Yeah. You can pretty much wear anything. ~Um, ~so. Mesh armor is great. The armor is you can take it out wash the stuff really easy It just becomes like a piece of clothing at that point I've loved mine so far. I've got the mesh pants and the and the cold air mesh ~Um ~or cold air, uh top and bottom both.

Yeah, and it's wonderful But I think i'm i'm actually going to look at the kevlar jacket.

So it's just a really nice Kevlar jacket with a bunch of extra pockets.
