The Ultimate Guide to Motorcycle Gift Ideas

So you have a motorcycle rider in your life and you have no idea what to give them. It doesn't matter if they are brand new to the sport or a lifetime rider; here are some of the best motorcycle gift ideas that are sure to be appreciated. Below every product or in the description of the product I have the links you need to order them.

MCrider Subscription

If you only get your rider one thing off this list, get them this. No matter how experienced or new the rider in your life is, give them the gift of becoming better and safer. Learn all the details for Membership.

MCrider Field Guides & More

The shop at MCrider has several gifts to choose from for any rider in your life. Get them a print version of the Field Guide, an MCrider Hat, T-shirt, or an MCrider Keychain for their motorcycle keys.

Earplugs for Noise Reduction

Riding a motorcycle is loud, even with the stock exhaust. That's why most of us wear earplugs, and if your rider doesn't, they should be. Get them a whole box of earplugs. These yellow and pink earplugs from Howard Leet are our favorites, and an entire box is around twenty dollars. They are extremely comfortable and have the perfect quietness level. They block out the wind noise and actually make it even easier to hear cars and sirens and all the other important sounds.

Merino Wool Buff

A gift all of us are sure to love is a Merino wool buff. This is a simple cloth tube that we wear around our necks, and not only does it help us stay warm, it actually helps us stay cool in the summer. It protects us from sunburns, bee stings, and even when debris. If your rider has long hair, it can be used to tuck the ponytail into the back, and they come in a myriad of fun colors and patterns.

Darn Tough Wool Socks

Speaking of great things that come in wool, these Darn Tough wool socks are another favorite bit of riding kit, especially in this taller length for riding boots. Being wool, they keep our feet dry, so your feet will stay happy in either hot or cold weather.

Rock Straps for Secure Packing

These are rock straps. They are retro-reflective, adjustable tie-down straps. They don't scratch the bike when we attach them, they release quickly, and can be adjusted to different lengths based on need. Bungee cords have always been a staple of motorcycling, but rock straps take it to the next level. These are the only straps we ever use anymore.

Motorcycle Detailing Kit

All of us love our bikes and love keeping them shiny and pretty. Honda spray polish or Motul wash and wax spray are both designed specifically for motorcycles. The difference is, most bikes are actually painted plastic, not painted metal like cars. Motul also makes an insect remover, which is amazing, as well as this helmet wash that keeps the inside of our helmet smelling pleasant. A bag of microfiber rags would complete an awesome bike detailing gift bag.

A Portable Compressor

Another great tire item are these little compressors. It's small enough to fit in a bag or a backpack. All your rider needs to do is set the pressure they want, and it fills the tire up and stops. I use this thing all the time, from touring to even track days, because it's super portable and it makes tire maintenance so much easier.

Weira Allen Key Set

Speaking of tools, motorcycles use Allen head bolts for almost everything. This color-coded Weira Allen key set is bomber. The heads are shaped a little bit differently than most ordinary Allen keys, so they are great at removing sticky motorcycle Allen bolts. If the rider in your life rides a Harley, get the Imperial set; any other brand of bike, including Indian, get the metric set.

Dango Chin Mount for Action Cameras

Now, if your rider likes to get video of their rides, here are two great items: this is a Dango clamp chin mount for an action camera. It works better than any of the others out there, and it pops on and off to any full-face helmet.

GoPro Hero Mini Camera

Lastly, if you have the money, an action camera is a great gift, and the mini is perfect for motorcycle riders. The new GoPro Mini—the mini is the important part because not only is it smaller, but it mounts on the bottom and on the back, which is something totally new. It makes mounting them so much easier, like on our Dango chin mount. This is the camera I use on all MCrider helmet mount videos. The size and weight are perfect for a helmet view camera.
