Gift ideas around £200 - SV650.org

03-01-07, 06:48 PM

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?

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!!

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!

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

, prolly have change to buy some gloves too.
