    Motorcycling toys for gifts, what do you look for?

    hey folks, just curious to know what people go for when they're trying to buy that Motorcycle related gift for someone, all generations?
    I've designed and built a Motorcycle racing board game and for a while they sold real well now sales have slowed. One of the reasons I built it was there was very little out there.
    Looking at another project but keen on what people are seeking
    Also interested in what people are prepared to spend, say on their own kids, neices and nephews and mates.

    You could design a curtain rail motorcycle canopy to install in a garage so I don't have to go back when my bikes cold to put a sheet on it. Like a 4 poster bed canopy.
    I have evolved as a KB member.Now nothing I say should be taken seriously.

    You heartless barstard. Let the poor bike into the loungeroom where the heaters on.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Usually I buy stuff for someone its a practical gift - (boring) but its something they need and will enjoy/use.

    Often its something out of the ordinary or special and it matches them.
    I remember buying some special carb intake funnels.

    like a model of something they dream of.
    or a book etc.

    I don't give that many gifts....

    I have been brought several Mbike related gifts - scale models, books, models with clocks, vouchers for mbike stuff. all good quality and useful.

    Fwiw i thought this was pretty cool and tis motorcycle related...usb port,starts with kickstart then off through the gears you go using gear change sounds well similar to an 850 Commando.Dunno about making one though.

    Worst motorcycle related gift - an animated teddy bear in leathers and bandana, which sings "Born to be Wild" in a croaky voice.


    (It's been stored with the animated fish that sings "Don't Worry, Be Happy").

    A group of us brought that fish for someone who liked to go fishing and liked a good joke.

    Brings it out every so often to annoy his wife.......
