| My son (11) wants to know what I want for Christmas. Unfortunately (for him) I'm the guy who has pretty much everything I need. But telling him that isn't going to help since he wants to buy Daddy something from his pocket money. His budget is about £20 (or 30 bucks for you guys stateside). He knows I love photography and motorcycling and so he would be happy to buy me something in either of these catagories.
Anyway I can't really think of anything that fits his budget that I don't already have.
So my request is for any ideas relating to motorcycling/SWing'ing re a $30 budget?
Thanks on behalf of my myself and my lad. |

| Do you go in for HiViz clothing?
A decent Sam Browne or vest is less than $30 and is very useful.

| How about a gift certificate from M/c shop or online shop???? fits his budget ANd allows you to get something you like or need (more costly) And you can still say it's from him. Winners all around.
A pair of summer gloves, I have several left hand ones cheap. HAHAHA Plus you get to shop together.
hope this helps. |

| A bicycle speedo... one that reads to 199 kph/imperial conversion. these are great as they can also do max speed/ av speed /odo (redundant on the Swing) actual speed based on wheel circumference and clock(also redundant unless travelling through different time zones)and stop watch. Mine also has a motion detector with an ear piercing alarm. |

| Bill, Good suggestions, but I suspect that Craftsman tools are probably not generally available in the UK.  |
