Christmas Presents 2025

For biking Christmas.... a compact tyre inflator to go with my puncture repair kit!

 

I was lucky enough to get one of these.

I was lucky enough to get a bit of a windfall this Christmas and have ordered the helmet I have been obsessing about ever since it came out......it will be worth the wait, delivery expected in March....

 

No need to tell you what i got as i get every day and i have posted about the Honda. My Darling Tracy just keeps saying just get it.

 

Good old Amazon - looks pretty good, and won't get any serious use as it's only for a few weekends away each year!

 

A great choice, it has the same theme as my helmet, the history behind the graphics is extremely interesting, and there is a huge cult following in Japan. My younger son has a really good knowledge of the history and customs. I saw that helmet at Motorcycle Live. Shoei does a personal custom fitting service at a number of retail outlets, from memory it works out around £50, but it seems well worth the money. I hope you really enjoy the helmet. Personally, I prefer the Shoei helmets to those of Arai any day.

 

I saw it at Motorcycle Live too and liked it even more . I have tried Arai helmets on but my head shape is just wrong for them; the XS is massive side - to side on me in Arai even thought it is on paper for the same size head circumference as a Shoei XS.

I am certain I will enjoy it, thank you .
