Austin’s Recommended Motorcycle Gifts
Twisted Road’s Founder & CEO
Dowco WeatherAll Plus Motorcycle Cover
Austin likes the quality of this cover and how easy it is to throw on and off of his motorcycle.
$80.99 and up
Ghost Rider: Travels on the Healing Road (book)
He says this book “really illustrates how riding can be incredible therapy. The book, like riding, meanders but finds its way.” (That Austin is so poetic)
$25.95 for hardcover
Koso Apollo Heated Grips
Austin appreciates how easy these are to install and that there are six temperature settings which keep him from overheating.
$144.95
Sean’s Recommended Motorcycle Gifts
Twisted Road’s Director of Marketing
*RPM Program Membership
Sean, in his recent article on this cool new perk program, says, “Comoto Holdings’ family of motorcycle brands now includes Revzilla, Cycle Gear, J&P Cycles, and REVER—and their RPM program makes it dead simple to get amazing deals on all the gear you want and need.
$59.99/yr
*this is a gift that you can only buy for yourself as membership “may not be gifted”
Stockton Alarm Disc Lock
Sean notes that this is, “a cheap bit of insurance if you live in a city where bike theft is a problem. It always helps to have some sort of deterrent.” (Not sure that’s an issue in Denver where Sean lives, but always good to have).
$54.99
Nick’s Recommended Motorcycle Gifts
Twisted Road’s Community Manager
Quad Lock Phone Mount
When Nick wants to ride, he can’t be bothered by clamps and other mechanisms to attach his phone to his bike; he likes the click-in-and-go speed of this mount.
$69.95
Twisted Road tip: don’t miss our epic throw-down of Quad Lock vs. RAM Mount to choose the right one for the rider in your life.
Twisted Road Gift Card
Nick wants more rental riders on the road (hello, job security). Give your loved one the gift of riding the bike they’ve always dreamt of trying. Bonus: for every $100 you spend during the holidays, get $25 extra (i.e., $100 spent gets you $125 in rental dollars).
$ whatever you want to spend
Clare’s Recommended Motorcycle Gifts
Twisted Road’s Rental Coordinator
Karter Designs’ Expressive Mug
Clare loves to take a sip from her “Fuck Off” mug during TR meetings when she’s feeling annoyed or just playful.
$16.95
Harley-Davidson Performance Eyewear by Wiley X
Clare took her first riding course over the summer and she looked like a badass while doing it in these specs—protective performance glasses from HD.

Chris’ Recommended Motorcycle Gifts
Twisted Road’s Software Engineer
Battery Tender Junior
After first accidentally thinking we were asking him for his personal wish-list, Chris came through with some solid gift recommendations for his fellow riders, like this solution to the bummer of a dead battery when you’re ready to ride. (Sorry, Chris, we’re not getting you Lasik surgery for Christmas).
$35.96
HelmetLokII Helmet Lock
Chris likes that he can leave his helmet behind when he makes a stop on his bike (though he also likes sauntering into places with it tucked under his arm).
$32.99
OGIO No Drag Mock 5 Backpack
Revzilla describes this as “The alpha dog in OGIO's ultra-aerodynamic No Drag series of backpacks.” No wonder Chris loves it.
$199.99
Duff’s Recommended Motorcycle Gifts
Twisted Road’s Rockstar-in-Training
EverStart EL224 600 Peak Amp Lithium-Ion Jump Starter
We’re guessing that being left on the side of the road or in a parking lot one too many times led to this recommendation from Duff. It’s a small-but-mighty jump starter.
$49.88
Lucas Slick Mist Detailing Kit
$19.99
Saddle Soap Leather Treatment
$5.25 & up
Just one glance at Duff’s (many) amazing tattoos, tells you that he knows appearances matter. At the end of winter, your rider may want to spruce their bike back up for a slick-looking summer riding season.
Cherish’s Recommended Motorcycle Gifts
Twisted Road’s Community Outreach
*Cherish (aka Cherry) also recommends the Wiley X transitional glasses that Clare likes.
Guardian Bell Good Luck Charm
Cherry shares that a guardian bell is a good luck charm for rides and that one “can, really, only be given to you by someone who loves and cares about you. It’s perfect for “Holiday gift-giving” since legend says it isn’t as lucky if you buy it for yourself.” She has four of them hanging under the front fork of her bike.
$12.99
Twisted Road tip: photo below shows where the rider in your life should hang their guardian bell.
Men’s 12V Programmable Heated Jacket Liner
This is a warm liner for those colder winter rides. Cherry says, “I actually put this on my own wishlist because it’s super cute, soft, warm and even thin for better movement! It’s MENS, but I usually buy mens gear in a small size anyway. They just usually end up being more functional than stylish (which is most important) and have a better, more comfortable reach for riders.”
$245
Yvette’s Recommended Motorcycle Gifts
Twisted Road’s Newsletter & Graphics Queen
AdMore Light Bar Pro
When it comes to moto safety, the most important thing is to be seen. This cool new light bar senses rapid deceleration and signals before a rider even applies the brakes, meaning the car behind has more time to stop.
$219
Twisted Road tip: Twisted Road members use code: TR2021 to get a 10% discount off anything on the AdMore website (valid until December 31, 2021).
Stockton Tire Air Pressure Gauge with Hose
Even though Yvette rides a scooter (don’t get us started), she knows the importance of the correct tire pressure for vehicle performance and safety.
$22.99
Twisted Road tip: check out our article on motorcycle tire maintenance which includes the perfect tire pressure.
Melissa’s Recommended Motorcycle Gifts
Twisted Road’s CFO
Twisted Road Merchandise
Melissa thinks that Twisted Road has the coolest logo around; she may one day spin off the merch as a separate business that she can retire on. Better snap up the cool tees, beanies, hats, sweatshirts and more before she cranks the prices (she is CFO after all).
$20-44
Pamela’s Recommended Motorcycle Gifts
Twisted Road’s Blog Editor
RexSpex V2 Dog Goggles
Pamela’s husband likes to take their dog riding and these goggles are an upgrade from their current ones that she says “look like bargain-brand swim goggles (think two plastic circles rimmed by rubber).”
$84.95
