biking gloves

Buying presents for a no nonsense biker can be a particularly tricky affair. But fear not – there are great stocking fillers to be had for motorcyclists, whether you’re looking for stocking fillers on a budget or hoping to splash out on something with the ultimate wow factor. From unusual biker accessories for under 25 pounds to extravagant buys that are slightly too big to hang from the fireplace here are ten ideas to get you in gear.

1. Do they ride off road? A sleek motocross jersey could be just the gift they were hoping for – keeping them cool and ensuring maximum freedom of movement.
   
2. There are some amazing full-face motorbike helmets out there and you can pick up a quality brand with a high Sharp rating for under £25 – shop around online for the best bargain.
3. If your friend is someone who loves to fix up their bike a durable, non slip motorcycle garage mat is an ideal way to keep them off the cold hard ground.

4. Though it can sometimes be difficult to know a biker’s boot size, a new pair of racing boots are always welcomed by bikers – who can wear out a pair in 12 months if they’re real road fanatics. Find a shop that will let you exchange the boots after Christmas if you’re not sure about sizes – that way you’re covered.
5. Does you biker need something for the back of their motorcycle to hold their sandwiches, their work clothes or their wallet with them without losing any on the motorway? Then a small and durable tank bag is just what they’re after.
6. Good online searches can reveal great biking gloves for under £25. Get leather for that real quality feel.
7. If your favourite rider likes the feel of the wind in his hair perhaps they would like an open face helmet. There can be picked up for under £25 and give riders that European look.

8. Is your biking friend an extreme sport motocross rider? Look out for them with a pair of hinged motocross knee pads.
9. Got a mate who is super protective of his bike? Treat him to a camouflaged motorcycle cover and he can rest at ease.

10. Paddock stands raise a motorcycle off the floor so you can have better access to its wheels and cogs. It’s a great gift for a biker who spends more weekends in the garage fixing up and polishing his bike than he does on the road.
