Motorcyclists are people just like the rest of us, and many of us have been faced with the question - what to give to a biker? It’s not difficult to answer if you yourself are part of the two-wheeled community, the friendliest in the world, but for a person far from the world of steel horses, choosing something suitable as a gift is not easy. It's like choosing a themed gift for a professional fisherman or climber - without knowing all the details, it's easy to buy something unnecessary or inappropriate. To avoid such mistakes, we have prepared for you a list of the best gift ideas for motorcycle lovers.
Biker T-shirt
Everyone knows that biker culture involves wearing a certain type of clothing. You can hardly see a real biker, for example, in a tracksuit.
Therefore, you can give such an unusual person a biker T-shirt or T-shirt with a skull image for his birthday.
Top 5 DIY birthday gifts for a biker
It’s not for nothing that they say that the best gift is the one made with your own hands, that’s why we offer you the top 5 birthday gifts for a biker made with your own hands. You don’t just have to buy a beautiful and original gift in a store; show your imagination and you will succeed.
- Bouquet of socks . The most banal and budget gift can cause wild delight. Even if it's just regular socks. The most important thing is to present the gift beautifully. To do this, you need to twist the sock, starting from the elastic band around the axis, into a tube. Bend the edges of the sock, in the form of blossoming petals. Secure the bud with a pin.

- Men's leather bracelet. This gift will definitely appeal to men who love various stylish things. It is quite simple to perform and does not require any preliminary preparation. To make it you will need a piece of chalk, a ruler, a nail, a stationery knife, pliers and scissors, a leather cord, etc. Cut out a rectangle with a length of 20 cm. Mark holes for the cord along the edges with chalk, pierce parallel holes of approximately 1 cm each with a hot nail. Pull the cord with a cross through the holes, at the end you need to make a fastener using the cord.

- Handmade soap. An original and fragrant gift will not leave anyone indifferent, and you will probably enjoy experimenting and creating a masterpiece. For production you will need the following ingredients: soap base or soap residues, base oil, flavorings, alcohol or vodka, sugar, water, essential oils, dyes, as well as molds into which to pour the soap mass.
- Pizza as a gift. An excellent gift option to congratulate and treat you with something delicious at the same time. There are a huge number of options for pizza recipes, and everyone will find one to suit their taste, the most important thing is to prepare it with your soul, beautifully design and package it. And don’t forget about the warm, sincere words during congratulations.
- Original watercolor mug. Knowing a man’s tastes, it won’t be difficult for you to beautifully design a mug that will become his favorite. To do this, you will need a regular white mug, nail polish, and a container of warm water. Add a drop of varnish to a container of water, immerse the mug in it, pull it out and wipe off excess moisture. If necessary, remove excess with nail polish remover. Repeat the procedure several more times, experimenting with different colors. Let the mug dry. The original gift is ready.
Bandana
In the biker community, a bandana is a sign of belonging to the motorcycle fraternity. It protects your head from dust and sun. Can be leather or rag.
Bikers prefer leather options for their durability and moisture resistance.
Bandanas are often marked with the colors of the club to which the motorcyclist belongs; this must be taken into account when purchasing such a gift. You can additionally put the name or nickname of the birthday person on the bandana.
From equipment
Since serious items of equipment must be selected individually and always with fitting, look for oversized items as a gift, such as balaclavas, buffs, bandanas, arafatkas.
Balaclavas for a motorcyclist are like socks for February 23rd. A win-win gift in any weather and for any pocket. Balaclavas wear out quickly, so such a gift is always relevant!
Think about whether your birthday boy is freezing? Why not give him some extra wind protection? Is his neck covered when he rides? What about the back? A windproof belt is another interesting gift. The back, like the neck, is very vulnerable. Wind currents constantly blow under the jacket, so many manufacturers try to make them elongated and high-waisted trousers.
Practical gifts - raincoats and shoe covers. Driving in the rain is a dubious joy, especially when you feel that your jacket and trousers have already turned into a blotter, and the phone in your pocket is imitating a goldfish. Gifts with rain protection are ideal for any motorcyclist who travels a lot or rides without regard to the weather.
Skull helmet
Most bikers love everything unusual and a little creepy. Therefore, you can give the birthday boy a biker helmet in the shape of a black skull.
The most popular is the helmet from the American biker accessories salon Santiago Chopper.
True, it is not cheap, about 150-200 dollars. But nowadays it won’t be difficult to find a cheaper analogue.
Gifts for motorcycle riding
It would be logical to first pay attention to gifts that are directly related to the bike itself and will be useful to its owner. Motorcyclists are very careful and even, to some extent, touching about their vehicles. They are ready to spend any money on them and devote almost all their free time to caring for them. For the owner, not only the motorcycle itself is important, but also various little things and accessories that decorate it and help create the appropriate atmosphere of a strict biker.
If you give such a gift, it will definitely not be superfluous and will definitely be useful to the motorcyclist. It could be:
- Biker gloves;
- A set of tools (after all, a real biker loves to work on his motorcycle himself);
- Motorcycle helmet (required to match the color of the bike);
- DVR;
- Motorcycle tires;
- Motorcycle cover;
- Motorcycle first aid kit;
- Knee and elbow pads;
- Leather jacket (timeless classic);
- Biker boots;
- Motorcycle coating care products;
- Waterproof case for smartphone.
Biker glasses
Biker glasses protect a biker's eyes from dust, strong wind and dirt roads. Unlike ordinary glasses, they are made not from plastic, but from a special aluminum alloy with the addition of copper.
The optics, too, are not simple, but impact-resistant, so that they can withstand impacts from small stones or large air flows. You can buy glasses at a biker clothing store.
Japanese motorcycle Yamaha FZ 750
don't buy Yamaha FZ 750 motorcycles
This would be a great bike - it has excellent suspension, ride and ride - if not for a defect that practically disqualifies it. This was the first time Yamaha used a 20-valve head. Each tank had two outlet valves and three suction valves to improve filling.
Biggest disadvantages
The spread in the initial period was greatly underdeveloped. The factory provided for adjusting the valve clearance (not very complicated) every 42,000 km, but models with support valves (i.e. without clearance) ended up with thirty and several thousand km. After adjusting the clearance, the gaps erased even faster. The only solution is to replace the valves and wait for the problem to reoccur.
But this is completely unprofitable - the cost of replacement is extremely expensive (12 suction valves, plus a cylinder head gasket). It's more than the price of a motorcycle. If you're a risk taker and want to buy a Yamaha FZ 750, first measure the compression pressure on site (especially if the engine has low mid-speed power and is emitting exhaust gases). You will immediately understand that repairs will come to you immediately after purchase.
Yamaha spare parts, online order
The 20-valve valve timing also has another important drawback. To adjust the valves, check the clearances, unscrew the camshaft caps (half-bushes) and remove the shafts. After replacing the plates and assembly, as well as control measurements, it may be necessary to correct the tiles and re-disassemble the nozzles, which may not work. Lack of factory materials.
Only with the injectors and the factory book in hand will you know which version of the motorcycle you are dealing with. And there were 12 of them. For example, the VN 750 for the Canadian market had 68 hp, for the European market 66 hp. and for the Swiss 37 hp. Without knowing the version, it is impossible to properly tune the motorcycle. After reassembly, shafts may not rotate in clamped half-shells despite being tightened in the correct sequence. It's just that the lids are too delicate.
If after the first adjustment of the valves the rollers rotate, they are secured on the second or third. Interestingly, the same flaws were found in the FZR and even in the first YZF 750. Only later did Yamaha deal with this problem.
Travel flask made of metal and leather
Bikers spend most of their lives on the road, so as a gift you can give them a travel metal water flask in a stylish leather case.
If desired, the flask can be additionally engraved in the form of the birthday person’s nickname or a happy birthday wish.
Motorcycle helmet
The helmet is the most important part of motorcycle equipment. When choosing such a gift, you should look towards famous manufacturers, since safety comes first. The helmet is an individual item and needs to be tried on before use. If this is not possible, then you can find out the size of your head by measuring it yourself, or by looking at the size on your motorcyclist’s old helmet.
Themed jewelry
The birthday person will be very pleased to receive themed jewelry as a gift. These could be bracelets with spikes, various chains around the neck or earrings in the ears.
Jewelry must be made of white metal.
Under no circumstances should you give a biker anything made of yellow gold.
Impression
It's always interesting to expand your horizons! In addition, things sooner or later become unusable, but new impressions remain forever. Is the motorcyclist you want to give a really great gift for who rides a sportbike? Book him a racing track for a couple of hours, and he will probably be delighted! Or does he prefer to slowly move around on a chrome-plated Harley-Davidson, looking down on his brothers riding “plastic” or off-road motorcycles? Show him that it's not just choppers that can be fun, and give him an enduro ride where he'll spend a couple of unforgettable hours on an off-road track, pulling his bike out of the mud. It may sound strange, but it is really very exciting. And the list of ideas for what to give a motorcyclist can be expanded - most bikers ride motorcycles for the thrill, which means they love adrenaline. Give, for example, a parachute jump or a paragliding flight, and your gift will surely be appreciated.
Scratch world map
Anyone who likes to travel, and bikers are one of them, will need a map of the country or the world. Recently, so-called scratch cards have become popular. Their surface is covered with a special material that can be wiped off with a coin. When visiting a city or country, a certain area is erased on the map.
Such a gift will motivate the biker to travel more and more on his steel horse around the world.
Spare parts
To keep a motorcycle running, it needs to be serviced periodically, and that also costs money. Are you sure that the person you want to give a gift to has everything in order with the bike? If not, this is another opportunity to find something that will actually fit. This category can be called the most difficult in terms of selection, but even here the friends of the object of donation will come to the rescue! And they will probably be able to answer the question of what to give to a bike lover whose iron horse needs repairs. And it’s better to take care of this issue in advance, since almost always the necessary spare parts are not available, and they have to be ordered from foreign online stores. You can also make a choice in favor of consumables that will come in handy sooner or later. Motorcycle season is just around the corner? A can of motor oil, a set of filters, gaskets and other little things will definitely come in handy, since the motorcyclist will still buy it all, and with such a gift you will demonstrate sincere care.
Leather belt
A high-quality leather biker belt is another symbol of freedom and the road. Such belts differ from ordinary ones in that they have many metal rivets, skulls, crosses and massive iron plaques.
When buying such a gift, you need to remember that bikers mostly wear black. Therefore, it is better to give a black belt.
Stylish things
Stylish gifts on motorcycle and biker themes appeal to all owners of iron horses. Keep this in mind when choosing what to give to a motorcyclist. Suitable gifts:
- Moto gloves
. They are much easier to choose than helmets. But they can also make the image of the hero of the occasion more fashionable.
- Scale figurine of a bike
. When choosing it, it is important to correctly determine the model and brand.
- Mugs
with motorcycles or motorcycle-themed attributes painted on them;
- Motor trunk
in chopper style made of leather and metal. Such a gift can be used instead of a missing trunk. It can fit many different things you need on the road.
A tasty reward for a real racer
Certificate for going to a tattoo parlor
It's no secret that bikers are big fans of tattoos. Often their entire body is covered with tattoos. The birthday boy will be pleasantly surprised by such a gift as a certificate for going to a tattoo parlor.
You can find out from your friends in advance which master a person goes to, so as not to make a mistake in your choice.
Useful gifts for godfather
Sometimes a useful present is many times more valuable than a bright, unusual and even expensive trinket, especially if your godfather is practical. Choose a gift for him that will definitely be used in everyday life, but at the same time the gift will not be too banal and boring, like shaving foam, a mug or a men's cosmetic set. We are sure that on February 23, the godfather will receive his quota of mugs and pens! Among the successful options it is worth noting:
- A home smoker is a cool and useful thing that allows you to smoke meat, fruits or vegetables right in the kitchen. Compact installation takes up minimal space and provides maximum capabilities;
- A portable refrigerator that will come in handy during a picnic, during a summer vacation, or just to avoid running to the kitchen for cold beer;
- An external battery with a solar battery will allow you to charge your favorite gadget in any conditions;
- Home brewing is really cool! Not a single man will refuse such a chic gift, and there will be a sure-fire reason to visit his godfather for a beer;
- A barbecue set will please those who love outdoor excursions; now a convenient case with everything you need will be at hand and picnics will become even more enjoyable;
- A shaker and set for cocktails will allow you to create your favorite drinks right at home, entertaining guests with goodies and pampering yourself with cocktails with or without an occasion;
- A manual coffee grinder is an impressive gift for a coffee lover. Experts say that only hand-ground coffee has the full range of taste properties, so let the godfather check this truth in practice;
- A leather phone case is stylish and reliable. Such an accessory will not go unnoticed;
- A stylish watch is an excellent gift for men. Add a commemorative engraving to the watch cover, and the present will also turn out to be very touching and sincere;
- A set of smoking accessories if your godfather smokes. These are always necessary and useful accessories, for which they will mentally thank you more than once;
- A leather wallet is a must have for every man! You definitely can't go wrong with a gift like this;
- Minibar for home or office. They are made in the form of globes, barrels, chessboards, etc., pick something interesting for your godfather, and now he will always have his own “stash” of his favorite drinks;
- A running alarm clock is not only a good way to wake up in the morning, but also a great way to recharge. Fun and healthy, what more could you want from waking up in the morning?
To prevent the gift from looking faceless, complement it with a card with warm wishes, a child’s drawing or a godson’s craft. Such little things are perfectly remembered and make the gift even more valuable and enjoyable.
Elements for motorcycle tuning
All kinds of elements for tuning a motorcycle will also be an excellent gift. These could be unusual seats, chrome pipes, stylish mirrors or creative tank stickers.
To purchase high-quality and truly fashionable accessories, it would not be superfluous to consult with someone from the biker community or choose a gift with the birthday boy.
Bags, backpacks, wallets and cases
Personally, I think a hip bag is a cool gift - it’s convenient, looks original, everything is at hand. There are a lot of bags for motorcyclists, as well as backpacks. Except that, logically, a backpack should also be chosen based on the person who will travel with it, and a good backpack is already pricey, but bags will be more loyal.
You can choose a good tank bag as a gift; motorcycle stores offer good options.
Wallets for motorcyclists are usually multifunctional, and there are even options on chains or straps. Have you noticed what your boyfriend/girlfriend travels with? How do you store documents? Is everything stuffed into your pockets? It's time to give a new wallet with inserts for documents!
Cases are another cool option. Not every city motorcyclist buys them. They seem to want it, but they hesitate, they don’t buy it, because there is somewhere to put the motorcycle, a garage or a parking lot. They think that this is enough. The cover is very useful in the life of a motorcyclist, and you only need to know the model of the motorcycle to choose it.
Does the case seem like too expensive a gift? No question, let's look at the spider nets on the trunk. Also useful little things. How to carry a helmet for a passenger? And here is a mesh as a gift, hold it, ride it for your health!
Biker keychain
Usually bikers carry huge rings of keys with a large variety of key fobs. Many of them love to collect such trinkets.
Therefore, a stylish keychain in the shape of a skull, motorcycle, helmet or any other biker paraphernalia will undoubtedly delight the birthday boy.
Action camera
Every motorcyclist who does not have such a device dreams of one. There is a huge selection of action cameras. You don't have to buy an expensive model. Many Chinese manufacturers are in no way inferior to well-known brands, and they are much cheaper. The camera can be mounted on a helmet or the back of a motorcycle. In general, any bike owner will be delighted with such a gift.
Handmade leather wallet
A biker wallet is a great gift for a man of any age. It differs from the usual one in that it is most often made by hand.
Such wallets are decorated with various thematic patterns, inscriptions, and drawings. Wallets are decorated with all kinds of steel chains.
Motor backpack
If your motorcyclist travels with a regular backpack, then it’s time to give him a motor backpack that has completely different levels of protection. The motor backpack has additional reinforced seams, a rain cover and shockproof inserts.
We value high-quality equipment only when it provides value for money. At first we think it's too much to spend, but then the equipment saves lives, reduces injuries and keeps your belongings intact, which is not always possible to get from budget options.
To ensure that the contents of a motorcyclist’s backpack are not damaged and that the electronics inside are not damaged on the asphalt, choose special equipment.
Beer mug with biker symbols
All bikers love to gather in bars in the evenings and drink beer in their friendly company. You can give the birthday boy an unusual beer mug in the shape of a skull or any other thematic item.
The mug can be ceramic, wooden, metal or glass. You can purchase it in specialized biker online stores.
If you want to please yourself and your loved ones with a luxurious gift from Colady magazine, a gift certificate for the services of our experts. Hurry up to buy! (the number of certificates is limited) Select a certificate in the store

Tool sets
Every biker must be able to repair his iron horse, so he cannot do without special tools. There is one difficulty here - for example, the bolts on motorcycles are not always the same, so if you decide to give a set of tools, it is better to first seek help from experts in this field.
