50th birthday presant for motorbike enthusiast?

Question

can someone help trying to think of what to get my dad for his bday hes got 3 motorbikes but has recently split up with his partner what can i get him to cheer him up realistic answers please!!

Answer 1

It's hard because riders can be picky about a lot of motorcycle parts and gear that they use.  You can find some good ideas at: http://www.motorcyclegiftshop.com/motorc...

Answer 2

Get him a tom tom or map link or whatever satellite navigation thing for motorcycles you can find.  I am assuming he likes either cruisers or tourers (sorry to generalize with age), so it would be perfect for him to use to just ride around and learn what roads take you where in the world.

I think the rider to rider communication/radio for the helmet with blue-tooth would be the next best coolest thing for him.

These may all be more expensive than what you bargained for, sorry.

Answer 3

If you know who is fav rider is, try and get a signed print of him. You can always pick up prints on ebay. Im sure he would like that.

Answer 4

Any of the merchandise From Orange county choppers.

Answer 5

knowing what types of bikes would help

Answer 6

Its the British Speedway GP at the Millennium stadium Cardiff on Saturday the 30th of June, there are still tickets available and even if he's not a Speedway fan its an amazing spectacle and the atmosphere is unreal! Tickets are from about £30 to £55!

Answer 7

Get him a set of Screamin' Eagle II pipes for one of his bikes.  My dad has everything, and that present made him smile from ear to ear.  

PS - He's taught me everything about bikes and motocross, and I don't know how I lived without it before.

Answer 8

u cud treat him  to one of those action day fings where u can drive rally cars etc, sumfin different ay?

Answer 9

The glib answer would be a date with a hot biker chick!......

but if you don't know of any, a day out would be a good idea.

A 50 year old guy with 3 bikes probably has a fair amount of kit already, so quality time may seem more special than quality merchandise.

Depending on your location - you have the motogp coming to the US next month, or they have a few more rounds to go in Europe.

The above link will take you to the official site for details.

There's also the British superbikes which are up in Scotland at the end of the month - which is their only visit north of the border this season - and plenty more rounds down south too.

You could Google for a track day if he's more of a doer than a watcher - and is into sports bikes. Or something that is on my Christmas list (if he's a big kid at heart!)

That should put a grin on his face - and a nice dinner with No. one daughter to round the day off.

Answer 10

try ron haslam race school or mick boddice school for track day instruction using their bikes.

the bmw off road school if he prefers dirt riding to road.

trip to eicma motorcycle show in italy in november

vip ticket to british superbikes

i agree, helps to know what sort of bike he rides, if harley or classics most of the above will be no good for him.

Answer 11

Tell him to grow up ditch his bikes and he might keep his partner's.  Surely riding three bikes at once is showing off, that's for teenagers not old men.  Try a rocking chair he might then see his children grow up.

Answer 12

How about a ticket to a motorcycle event such as a race?

I would love it if someone got me something like that.
