Didn't you change out your grips? I'm thinking used grips and a pair of gloves.
I had to slice one grip up to remove it.... even I'm not that cheap!

I ride with those people and I'm still looking for a great idea that would be Harley-Davidson related (if possible).

Since there are a lot of great minds on this forum, I'm asking for help.

Thanks!
Sooo...does it have to be something you already have that you don't use? ... or can you purchase something?

I can only assume it's the latter ... and a gift certificate at a local shop is always a great gift. OOORRRRR ... Go through the "On sale" rack ... You can pick up some nice belts, buckles, bandannas, shot glasses, sunglasses or clear glasses, or riding gloves (I hear the 'fingerless' variety are a hit for Christmas)!


If it is the former ... find an old faded T shirt that's 3 sizes too small, 1/2 quart of harley oil you got out in the garage and maybe some fingerless gloves that you have been saving for a 'special' occasion...wrap it all up nice-nice with some really super nice wrapping paper. Remember, presentation is everything!


Good luck and have fun!

my bad misread the grip for pegs

you could go to the local dealer buy something from the sales rack that your not a fan of and remove the tags and voila something you had but never used since you don't like it

Well,

We just had one of those at the work lunch yesterday and the hit of the exchange was a cow-pattie that a guy found dried and sprayed with that clear-coat in a can to spray it....he said he wanted to find 10 or 12 flies to put in the box to fly out but he couldn't catch any.......

this is mine that you are welcome to use....(non Harley sorta)........

go to the grocery store and buy two cans of the cheapest pork&beans you can find...go to the hot sauce isle and find a bottle of hot sauce like Franks or something like that with the tapered glass top......find a bottle that is the same size as the top of the pork and bean cans or as close as you can get.......

go home and tape the two bean cans together with packing tape and tape the hot sauce to the top...fill in the places where the cans and bottle come together so it is smooth.........wrap and put on a ribbon.......

everybody thinks it's a bottle of wine so they jump right on it and pick it up and unwrap the beans and hot sauce and are stuck with it because nobody else wants it..........

Wow!! That's a lot of leg work for a gag gift.

The party sounds like a lot of fun!! Happy holidays.

Print and then find a used frame around the house and then frame the picture of you sitting on your bike. Perfect for your Harley friends.

Somehow, softail, if you gave me anything I would be tickled to death, but then again I'm old and wtf do I know.
