Christmas present ideas for $30 ???!!!

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.

Three possible items: A cup holder, wide grips, or a tailbag.

mirror extenders/risers; throttle lock; something like Hippo Hands hand warmers.
a little tripod?
Happy holidays.

Please don't forget about the Perfect Connector. Shure makes adding LED running and brake lights on the Silverwing easy and safe.

If they are are going to do some of their own maintenance ... then there are a bunch of options.

- torque wrench

- battery tender

- Craftsman 5 pc. Metric Easy to Read Socket Accessory Set, 12 pt. Standard, 1/2 in. Drive

Bill,

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