Birthday gift suggestions please
A colleague has asked for suggestions for a birthday gift for her biker friend. She's got a budget of £40 and needs to buy it this week.
I was thinking a couple of books perhaps, but if anyone can come up with something better then post up your inspiration.

Re: Birthday gift suggestions please
A friend got me Biker's Britain. I'd recommend it. Not done any of their routes yet but checking the areas I know they've certainly covered a lot of the good roads. I've little doubt it's full of 'hidden' gems (the type of roads all the local bikers know) in the rest of the UK.

Re: Birthday gift suggestions please
Books are great, a gift that never stops giving. Have a think about these.
Jupiter's travels A bikers biography Another biography. There is also an awful lot of biker erotica on Amazon, but it is all so hetro-centric.

Re: Birthday gift suggestions please
Check if your local karting track does pit bikes or mini moto. Its fun, painful, and addictive.

Re: Birthday gift suggestions please
I've got that adventure book sat on my shelf at the moment. Had a quick flick through it but its not what I was expecting. May have to have another look at it. Wouldn't mind getting the second one though.
