Handlebar Cup Holder

These ingeniously straightforward gadgets clip onto a bike's handlebars as well as use a full-sized cup holder to cradle a coffee, water, tea, or beverage of choice. The most effective versions are flexible to fit different sizes of drink, and also several are downright cool-looking, with attributes like chrome finishes that set them in addition to the group. Match it with an insulated traveling cup for onthe-go sip-ability whenever and also any place. Motorcycle Helmets

If you have a rider in your life, and they don’t have a helmet – it’s a gift that could SAVE THEIR LIFE. Even if they only wear it occasionally – only when it’s raining or for long distances on the freeway you should get them one. Because, if they don’t even own one – you know they aren’t ever going to be wearing one. Now, we don’t necessarily recommend getting someone a helmet for a gift – unless you really are certain of their size. Making certain that a helmet fits properly isn’t just essential for safety reasons – it’s essential for practical reasons as well. If a helmet isn’t comfortable, chances are they aren’t going to wear it. Many retailers, especially online, have policies that prevent the return of helmets. If you decide to purchase one for someone else, make sure you ask. An alternative is to take them to the shop and let them pick one out. And for helmets, there’s one Ride Stop that tops all others when it comes to helmets… no contest.

Iron Pony is the “Mac-Daddy” of all power sports retailers. A family business that is THE BIG BOX store – offering unbelievable selection and amazing prices – yet is locally owned and an avid supporter of the local riding community. For helmets especially, it’s a trip worth taking from wherever you are. NOBODY has the selection or offers the value that Iron Pony does – and they have the staff there to help you pick out the helmet that’s perfect for you. Even if you have a kid or rider that’s adamant that they don’t want a helmet – you will find something so cool and so comfortable, that they will have a hard time saying no.
