Christmas
Christmas gift ideas for bikers
Here's my list of Christmas gifts for the biker in your life. Shopping for the motorcycle enthusiast can be challenging - you don't always know what kind of stuff they may need or want - but don't let that stop you!
After all, even in the cycle world, you can give the equivalent of the plaid necktie... or you can check out the gear we've lined up for you in our annual gift-giving guide.

Canon EF 1.4x II Tele-Extender
Installation and removal is easy. Using the 1.4x will make the 70-200mm into a 98-280mm lens. There is a loss of one f-stop (so an f/2.8 lens becomes an f/4 and the 70-200 f/4 becomes an f/5.6). For outdoor sports or racing photography this is not really noticeable.

The Canon 70-200 f/4L Zoom Telephoto lens may be the best deal in the Canon Professional series.
I used this lens at several races at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca this year and it is a fantastic lens. The internal focus feature is one of the things I like most about it - the lens does not change length, and the front of the lens does not rotate - so use of a circular polarizing filter is possible.

Meguiars Mirror Glaze Clear Plastic Cleaner and Polish
Meguiars makes the best clear plastic polish and cleaner - bar none.
The cleaner (part # M1708) and polish (part # M1008) are the perfect combination to keep windscreens, helmet visors, taillight lenses, or any other acrylic plastic clean and scratch-free. Removes or reduces spider-webbing. I've used this stuff for decades.
PRO HONDA SPRAY CLEANER POLISH - WHERE CAN I BUY SOME?
I used to buy Honda spray cleaner polish by the case - this stuff makes it a snap to keep your paint shiny and clean while on the road or for a quick clean up after a Sunday ride. Works for cars, too - any painted surface.
Brush or blow off any heavy dust, spray on the cleaner, wipe it off and buff with a clean soft cloth, and your bike will look like you just waxed it.
This product has been discontinued by Honda - Now available from the original manufacturer!
