Motorbike rider tools that stay on hand
We cannot believe that it will be Christmas once again next month – the days of 2022 seem to have slipped away so quickly, and soon, we will be ringing in the new year! But before we can watch the fireworks on new years eve, it’s time to find the perfect gifts for the motorbike rider in your life. This month, NLMT takes a look at the top 5 Christmas presents you can buy a motorbike rider that they actually want!
When you are a motorbike rider, you don’t have the luxury of a lot of boot space to store all the things you may need whilst you are out and about. Yet it’s still important to have a small selection of tools on hand that you can turn to in a moment of need. If your loved one has yet to find a motorbike toolset they can carry with them on journeys, why not find the perfect handheld kit that will help them when they are in a bind and out on the road? A tyre repair kit, a flashlight and a wrench are just some of the tools you can find in a handy motorbike tool kit.
A visor cleaning kit to keep those bugs away!
As much as we love getting out on our motorbikes throughout the year, it is a given that our visors will come across insects when we are out. If your loved one is coming home covered in bugs with a visor that has seen most of the action from their journey, a visor cleaning kit is a great present or stocking filler that could really make their day. Not only can they clear away the bug mess that visors seem to attract, but they can also use as a good repellent for rain and road spray that they are likely to come across. Wearing a helmet with a visor is paramount to ensuring the safety of a motorbike rider, but what good is a visor that you cannot see out of? We are sure that a visor cleaning kit will be the perfect addition to their handy tool kit.
Motorbike lessons in the new year
Not every avid motorbike actually has a bike license. If your loved one is obsessed with motorbikes but has never had the chance to get their motorbike license sorted, why not give them the gift of learning to ride in the new year? This is a present that is sure to go down incredibly well, and you will also be helping them to learn new skills and giving them better opportunities for travel.
For those motorbike riders who do have a license but may be feeling a little unconfident about getting out on the road – whether they have taken some time out from riding their motorbike or have only recently passed their test, NLMT also offers refresher courses to boost confidence and ensure that the motorbike rider in your life is ready to get back out on the road.
Motorbike rider accessories for use everyday
Another popular Christmas gift for motorbike riders everywhere is motorbike accessories – and not just the ones you can use on your motorbike. There are thousands of accessories for motorbike lovers everywhere you look – from keyrings to bags and t-shirts to hoodies. If you are stuck on what to get a motorbike rider for their Christmas gifts this year, opt for motorbike accessories that show off the love they have for their set of wheels at home.
Alongside choosing accessories, why not consider getting your loved one a book on motorbikes? Whether it’s a history book of motorbikes through the years, a book specific to the motorbike they currently own or a manual on how to look after their motorbike, they are sure to thank you for this thoughtful gift they can spend hours rifling the pages – and you will get some peace and quiet!
A new set of motorbike rider leathers
Finally, and probably most importantly, leather gear for motorbike riders is just as important as the helmet they choose to wear. These clothes are the first line of defence for protecting motorbike riders if they are out on their bikes and they have an accident. According to a recent study completed by Wu et al. 2022, wearing ‘protective clothing was associated with a lower risk of soft tissue injury to upper and lower limbs’. A study conducted by Rome et al. 2011 shows that ‘Motorcyclists were significantly less likely to be admitted to hospital if they crashed wearing motorcycle jackets, pants and gloves’.
If your motorbike rider is in desperate need of some new leathers for protection, why not give them the gift of vouchers to use at their favourite leather shop so they can choose the perfect protection for when they get out on their motorbike? Not only will they go out in style, the leathers will help to protect them from harm.
