I think the gift card is always a safe bet as he can use it for whatever he wants . BUT the idea of going with him and say to him " As a gift the first (as example) $50.00 is on me " . The best part about being there with him is you can see what things he looks at and that can give you ideas for future gifts like birthdays or Xmas .

my wife bought me a gremlin bell. I really don't care for it, but she bought it for me and the bike. It didn't cost alot of money, I tells me she supoorts the bike, its always on the bike and never taken off, and she likes it. It really is the thought, also shows some concern..... but

I really like the idea a a nice sexy phot of yourself and the bike. There really isn't anything more special to a guy than his bike and his chick Throw in a Tshirt if you want to spend more cash. With time there will be a list of things he will want or need

JoeN is right. My lady bought me my bell for good luck. I could never take it off. If it falls off well I won't have to listen to it anymore ....

He will defintely appriciate the thought .. unless he already has one.

Harley ties are nice. Mens Harley jock straps are a real winner with most of the guys on the forum excluding me though.

NEVER EVER get him a pair of those skimpy Harley womens Undies for you to wear for him. They really are not that pretty.
