Alpinestars Ageless Classic T-Shirt
It is not just a t-shirt, it is THE t-shirt. Well, the Alpinestars t-shirt, anyway. The Alpinestars Ageless Classic T-Shirt recalls the many such brand marketing shirts that preceded it, but it is cast in a modern cotton, which is softer and heavier than what was available before. The traditional A-Star logo is placed front and center on the chest, and it is of the tag-less kind so that the person who receives this gift can enjoy it in chafe-free comfort. A timeless classic from a manufacturer which every motorcyclist knows and respects, what more could someone want?

Battery Tender Jr.
Motorcycle batteries are tiny and since many motorcycles sit idle when weather is uncooperative or other responsibilities intrude on the riding season (which should never, ever happen, but does), they can lose their effectiveness. If the rider on your gift list has to deal with these inconveniences, the Battery Tender Junior High Efficiency Battery Charger will handle caring for that little box of energy for as long as the bike must be off the road.
The Battery Tender Junior is a smart trickle charger which works with almost every motorcycle battery in use today - be it old-school lead acid, flooded or maintenance free. It will keep the battery topped off with juice safely without causing any damage and will even keep an eye on it to be sure it is healthy. A 12 foot cord allows easy placement, numerous protective features make it safe, and a five year warranty guarantees that it will last. Any rider you know will be overjoyed that you thought of their moto-specific needs when you chose the Battery Tender Junior as a gift!

Galfer Front/Rear Brake Line Combo
Most motorcycles, even sportbikes, are equipped with rubber brake lines from the factory. Unfortunately, those lines are more susceptible to atmospheric conditions which can lead to brake fade. The best solution to this is to install braided brake lines since they continue to provide predictable feedback no matter the conditions in which they are used. Should the motorcycle owner on your gift list still have those old, inferior stock brake lines, Galfer's Front/Rear Brake Line Combo will cure that and more.
As linear and progressive braking is integral to safety, the Galfer Brake Line Combo is considered an upgrade to rider's well-being while also being an improvement to motorcycle handling and performance. Installation is easy enough for the home mechanic to complete and can be done quickly and easily. Everything required is included in this kit, but wouldn't a bottle of brake fluid be the perfect accompaniment to it? Think about it, then buy it and let someone know you care.
