Need gift ideas!!

[Guest]

Hi, my boyfriend has a Honda Fireblade, his birthdays coming up and I want to get him something for his bike, but Im so new to bikes that I have literally no idea what to get him! Any advice would be very welcome!

[MonkeyKnuckle]

Do you want something serious or something jokey? (or both?)

[techno]

Erm hello, what does he have already?

[Guest]

Techno and Monkeyknuckle

Hi, thanks for replying. I dont mind if its jokey or serious. He just bought a new helmet, and I think hes sorted for boots too. I dont have a massive budget really, 150 pounds absolute max, so I dont think I could afford decent leathers. Would you recommend buying something for the bike, or accessories for him? I could upload a picture of the bike so you can see what hes done with it already?

[techno]

well lets look at the bike anyway

And if you want to stay around why not introduce yourself in mewbies and maybe get him to join as well

[Guest]

Cheers, picture attached. Ill get him to join, but not til Ive gotten his present, dont want him to find out Ive cheated by asking advice

You should go to the garage (suzuki dealers) and buy a nice, decent looking Suzuki logo to stick over that crappy Honda one!

Either that, or for under £100 you can get some half decent luggage (tank bag, tail pack etc)

[techno]

Shut up sheepy bloody bandit owner!!

Wow thats a stunning bike now where have I seen one like that before

Oh yeah here's mine

[Sheep_onna_Bandit]

See? Another one in need of some Suzuki refurb

[Guest]

Hahaha, I can see Im in the right place for advice!! At least from techno Ill bear your advice in mind when Im looking for my own bike Sheepy.

So techno, what would you recommend?

[MonkeyKnuckle]

You could get him some nice stubby levers. He doesn't have them in the picture.

Something like these: http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/products/ ... ZB-55B/BLK You'd need to know the exact year and model of his bike but it looks like it's the same as Techno's anyway.

[techno]

Well he ceratinly dont need cleaning products his bike puts mine to shame

Or instead of some accesories what about some tickets to a bsb round?

A tinted visor for his new helmet, some cleaning products for his gear???

[Sheep_onna_Bandit]

There's always a magazine subscription I guess, if he has a favourite.

Or maybe some associated Honda branded clobber (jackets are good, I bought my Mrs a SUZUKI one at the weekend to match mine - you never know, he might reciprocate one day)

[MonkeyKnuckle]

I would go with the levers suggestion, gets rid of the larger stock ones and it is one of the main parts of riding his bike so if you get some nice ones he will love it. £150 will get really good ones like Pazzo's or something similar, which another blade rider can probably point out which are the best.

Not got one myself but would love some non stock levers, but there is always SO much to buy!! Lol

Hi, not wanting to push my sales item, but I have a good branded Rucksack for sale in the Sales thread. As new, only used about 10 times and a snip at £60. Go check it out.

[Guest]

Techno,

You mentioned tickets to a bsb round as a gift idea, do you know of any taking place between the 3rd and 11th of October, within driving distance of Brighton? Or have you any idea where I could get that information?

Thanks!
