The 2022 MOTORCYCLEiD Holiday Gift Guide

At MOTORCYCLEiD, “you are what you ride”, and the rider in your life would love nothing more than the perfect gift for their bike. No matter your motorcycle knowledge, this 2022 MOTORCYCLEiD gift guide has what you need to make the best selection.

Our choices below are all universal enough that they would be appropriate no matter what model or size bike is ridden. (In the case of clothing, you will need to know the recipient’s size of course.) In addition, all these choices are priced so that there is a gift suggestion for every budget. Read on to discover which of our gift ideas is just right for the motorcycle owner who is on your gift list.

1. Bluetooth Equipment for the Helmet

We start with a recommendation found in our Helmet Communication category. This is a great choice for anyone who rides who wants to remain connected with others. Helmet-mounted Bluetooth communication systems pair to a phone or other Bluetooth device so the rider can enjoy hands-free phone calls, message delivery, music streaming, conversations with other Bluetooth-equipped riders, GPS guidance, and more at the touch of a button.

Our specific recommendation in this category is the UClear Single Pack Motion 6 Bluetooth Helmet Audio System. This system provides talk time of up to 18 hours, and range for each user of up to three-quarters of a mile. Everything you need is included in this comprehensive kit.

2. Boot Wash Stand

Sooner or later, your bike boots are going to get wet, and the only way those boots will live to see another day without mold, fungus, and odors taking over is to thoroughly wash and dry them. A simple yet effective accessory for such a task is offered in our Riding Gear Dryers category. Here is where you’ll find a wash stand for motorcycle boots, manufactured for us by Unit. This affordable product allows the boots to be securely mounted for washing, then air-dried. The pricing is reasonable enough that buying a wash stand for each pair of boots makes a lot of sense.

3. Heated Gloves

Once you step outside your front door into the winter cold, no matter how well you’re bundled up, it’s your hands and feet that feel the cold first. Now picture yourself at speed on a motorcycle at that temperature! It’s for such brave riders that heated gloves were invented.

We have an entire department on our website for heated clothing gear. If you’re considering such a gift, please consider these Rocket Burner Lite heated gloves from Joe Rocket. Available in sizes from Small to 2X-Large, they have 3 stage heat settings, and can maintain heat for up to 3 hours. Outer construction is nylon and leather, and the liner is waterproof, windproof, and breathable.

4. Protective Face Wear

If the motorcyclist on your gift list is someone who likes to ride year-round and in all kinds of conditions, they will appreciate the kind of facial protection which can be found in our section on Head Gear.

Motorcycle balaclavas offer full face and head protection, and our favorite choice comes from the Rukka brand. Their RWS hood insulates the entire head and neck, and also protects the rider from dust, sand, and other debris that may be flying in the air. It’s available in Small, Medium, and Large sizes.

5. Carrying Cases

On a motorcycle, there’s never enough room to carry gear. For this reason, we’ve got an entire department dedicated to luggage systems: everything from saddle bags, windshield bags, and tail bags, to luggage racks, nets, and straps.

A product that rises to the top for us, based on its compactness, usability, and clever design, is the Stealth Line Black Tank Bag from Chase Harper. It’s designed to sit right on top the center fuel tank, an area not traditionally utilized for storage on motorcycles.

6. Cell Phone Cradles

Riders who need to view their cell phones while on the road, whether to follow a navigation system or for any important use, must rely on a sturdy and secure mounting system. The last thing they need is to lose the phone at speed. We have an entire category dedicated to motorcycle navigation system mounts.

A favorite among many excellent choices is the Shad Phone Holder, available as either a handlebar-mount or mirror-mount. There is a water-resistant screen covering the phone and a handy pocket allowing the storage of small necessities.

7. Motorcycle Cover

A motorcycle cover is perhaps one of the most thoughtful gifts you can give; many motorcycles spend the off-season outdoors, and a good quality cover does wonders to protect the bike. For those who may not know, a dedicated cover is far superior to a hardware-store plastic tarp, which could in fact inflict damage. Our Motorcycle Covers category has a wide selection of covers in various price ranges.

An affordable yet high-quality cover that we like is the Nelson-Rigg Defender Extreme Motorcycle Cover, available in 4 different sizes. It is 100% waterproof, has the highest UV-rating in the industry, uses reflective strips for improved visibility, and includes a storage bag. Its competitive pricing is the icing on the cake.

8. T-shirts

Clothing is always an appreciated gift, and who doesn’t like a hobby-themed t-shirt? Bike riders are proud to show off their true love on their chests or backs, and our huge variety of biker t-shirts make selecting the right gift a simple affair.

This stylish black t-shirt from Pro Circuit is available in sizes from small to 3X-large, and features graphics on both its front and rear. Whatever your rider is into, this shirt "fits".

9. Motorcycle Locks

It's sad but true: with something as relatively small as a motorcycle, one cannot take security too lightly. A high-quality lock buys a lot of peace of mind for very little cash outlay. Check out our motorcycle locks category, where you’ll find a variety of lock designs.

We are partial to the Beast Series 6' Chain with Keyed Padlock from OnGuard. Links shaped like hexagons are more difficult to saw through, and their surface-hardened titanium makes it doubly difficult to complete a through-cut.

10. Biker Lifestyle Accessories

Not all holiday gift suggestions need to be practical. Sometimes a little bling makes for a charming and somewhat unexpected gift. If you concur, please be sure to visit our Lifestyle Accessories Department, where we have keychains, lighters, belt buckles, wallets, jewelry, and much more.

This gold motorcycle pin from the folks at Add On Accessories is probably the most affordable gift suggestion we're making this year, and it has a charm of its own. No worries about brand of bike or size of the rider. This piece makes the perfect stocking stuffer!
