Gift ideas around £200

[Dysparunia]

My mate's birthday coming up, and a few of us get together so we have a reasonable budget of around £200.

He learned to ride with a couple of months ago, so was thinking something bikey (he has a Deauville-commutes & no gargage/drive, so he LOVES the prop bit). He's got all the basic bits for riding.

Anyway, any ideas for what we could get him??

Was thinking a TomTom Ride, but I've not heard/read great things about them. Zumo's too expensive.

Failing that, any ideas for what else we could look at?????????


Thanks,

Andy

An Akrapovic to liven up the Dullville? :lol:

Tomtom Rider is ok. I've got one and I've not had a problem with it. Depends who you talk to though.

If your mate has a Dullville, how about getting him an ashtray for it. He won't be going anywhere near fast enough to blow the ash out of it!! :D :lol: :lol:

a nice £200 lid :wink:

a nice £200 lid :wink:

Depending on his current lid that's a top idea. If he's new to biking chances are he's got a cheapish lid and he might appreciate a sweet new one.

WHAT ON THE DULLVILLE!

Pay for a trip to a European race meet, Assen or Le Mans!

Weekend Grandstand seats for Le Mans MotoGP in May are about 100 Euros( www.gpfrancemoto.com ), ferry travel can be booked with www.Speedferries.com for £8 each way and book a hotel in Le Mans for 40 Euros a night at www.hotel-bb.com. A superb weekend can be had by all. I'll see you there!

a minimoto/monkey bike...
might get him about quicker :twisted:

What sort of jacket/trousers has he got, could get a newie with armour etc. Or a pair of Sidi Vertigos, the Corse ones would look top kit on a Deauville :lol: , prolly have change to buy some gloves too.

What about a day at the Ron Haslam race school ? although it is a bit over budget at £250.

Cheapest I've seen the Tomtom Rider is £240 (just bought my second one, courtesy of my girlfriends losing my old one :roll: ). Depends how much he tours/goes to new places. I can see how for many they'd be a novelty/not worth the cash, but if he has real need of one (IE goes to a new place miles from home every other week) it'll be great for him.

Bit boring, but how about some honda heated grips? Could make the commuate a lot more tolerable. About £150 IIRC.

If you can get him to cough up for the excess cost then see my post "Le Mans anyone?"

Its a shameless plug I know but as I'm not making any money from it I don't see the harm in telling you about it. :D
