We've updated our annual Holiday Gift Guide with some cool new stuff the biker on your holiday list is sure to appreciate. You'll find a wide range of gear to fit most any budget— from the Bikemaster digital tire gauge (under $20) to the Tom Tom Rider, a GPS designed specifically for motorcycles (about $600).

A couple of our picks may look familiar. That's because they were also on the list last year's list.

Books like Proficient Motorcycling have become such standards that any rider would benefit from reading it. And should. We also repeated the Rand McNally guide North American Ride Atlas, now in its second edition. For more of our picks check our favorite motorcycle magazines, books and videos.

One night I was at a party and a thunderstorm was moving in. I decided it was time to leave before I got wet.

"Better go, I have to ride home," I announced.

A friend piped up, "You mean you get to ride home."

I always thought that was cool.We also have some shirt designs of our own that you might consider when gift-giving. These exclusive Places 2 Ride designs feature our retro cafe racer image on the front and a larger image on the back.

Across the back is the slogan, "I get to ride home," to let cagers know you aren't driving the minivan. Perfect for wearing to work on casual Fridays! See the sidebar for the story behind this design.

This new design is available on a basic tee, long sleeve, jersey, baby doll and fitted tees. For more motorcycle-related T-shirts visit our Biker Shirts page.
