Places 2 Ride: your guide to motorcycle rides.

Gift Ideas for the Motorcycle Rider

Here's six ideas for the motorcyclist on your shopping list– or great stuff for you.

Or maybe you prefer four wheels? For more motorcycling product reviews and recommendations visit our blog.

1. U.S. Leather
When's the last time you bought a gift that was made in America?

The friendly folks at Fox Creek Leather have several gift sets available and all of them feature products made in the USA.

Choose one of three gift sets for men or women featuring leather care products and high quality leather accessories. Fox Creek is best known for leather jackets and saddlebags, but all of their products merit our recommendation.

2. Hit the Highway
Rand McNally teamed up with Harley-Davidson to create the North American Ride Atlas.

It's the perfect gift for anyone who rides past the city limits. It's a rugged 284 pages of four-color maps, mileage charts, city indexes and descriptions of motorcyclist-tested rides in the United States.

3. Air Time
Looking for that perfect stocking stuffer under $20? Check out this digital tire gauge from Moto Sport. Every rider can use one!

This handy model is angled to reach tire valves on any bike, and offers easy one-button operation. This tire gauge from Bikemaster is a great gift choice because tire pressure is so important to safe riding and longer tire life.

4. Get Booked
Here's one of those great books that any motorcyclist can appreciate– Proficient Motorcycling: The Ultimate Guide to Riding Well.

Motorcycling can be a safe, economical means of transportation. Plus it's fun! This guide can help us all make the most of it. At 260 pages this book is a good read for the beginner or a salty dog.

For more great books on bikes check our extensive list of recommended reading. Any of them would make a fine gift for the two-wheelin' guy or gal.

5. Annual Giving
Calendars make great gifts that last all year. There's a cool calendar out there no matter what kind of bikes you're into– sport, dirt, choppers, motocross... you name it.

We found some great motorcycle calendars this year, and many are available as large format wall calendars or the smaller desktop size.

6. Bike-Friendly GPS
Two great models we like are the Garmin Zumo 450 and the compact Tom Tom Rider, both specifically designed for motorcycle duty with anti-glare screens and weatherproof buttons. They can even talk to you with optional wireless headphones! We found the best deals on the Tom Tom Rider at J.C. Whitney or Buy.com.
