Such is Peter Egan’s latest book, Leanings 3. Reviewed here.
9. Cortech Micro 2.0 Tank Bag
A tank bag that doesn’t make your bike look like a hunch-back buffalo would be cool, wouldn’t it? There is such a gift out there—the Cortech Micro 2.0 Tank Bag, reviewed right here.

12. Held Waterproof Series Roll Bags
No matter what kind of bike your gift recipient rides, they need waterproof, adaptable bags to tote stuff in. Held Waterproof Series Roll Bags can fit most any situation. Learn more here.
13. Locking Motorcycle Helmet Holder
Protecting one’s noggin is high priority for a lot of motorcycle enthusiasts, which leads to the use of a helmet. But who wants to lug that lid around when you get where you’re going? If you don’t have a saddlebag or travel trunk big enough to hold helmets, and you don’t like trusting you fellow man not to make off with your expensive head gear, then a locking helmet holder can be the answer—unfortunately, a lot of bikes don’t include them. You can gift your rider with ones that can be added to a bike in minutes. Check into it here.
14. Shock Doctor Eject Helmet Removal System
Putting a helmet on can be tricky because if it is sized correctly, it is usually pretty snug. Getting a helmet off after a crash can be difficult as well, even for trained rescuers. The new Shock Doctor Eject Helmet Removal System can make safe, rapid helmet removal after an incident easier. Learn more here.
15. Racer Mickey Gloves
Even riders who won’t wear a helmet will often opt to wear gloves, and good, comfortable, protective gloves are the order of the day when holding handlebars for hours is the task at hand—pardon the pun. Racer Mickey Glove is up to it and make a terrific gift—see why here.
16. AGV Sport Corsica Kevlar Jeans
The days of riding with just plain denim jeans are over, if you want more protection than they can give. If that’s the case for somebody on your gift list, check out AGV Sport Corsica Kevlar jeans here.
17. MotoPumps Mini-Pro Tire Inflator
Every once in a while, that favorite rider of yours may have a flat tire on the old bike—and it is always a long way from the nearest air compressor. Taking one along has always been prohibitive in terms of space required and lack of a power supply. Help is available on both counts with the MotoPumps Mini-Pro Tire Inflator. Check it out here.
18. Men’s Mesh Motorcycle Jacket
Next summer, a mesh riding jacket will be the gift that keeps on giving, but picking out the best one from the tremendous range of brands and designs out there can be tough. So, why not let an expert help you do some comparison shopping with a comparison of Icon, Cortech and Joe Rocket mesh riding jackets.
19. Women’s Fly Racing Mesh Motorcycle Jacket
Lady riders need mesh riding jackets and good riding gloves, too. Such as those the Fly Racing CoolPro II Mesh Jacket and Gloves you can check out here.
