The arrival of the Sears Christmas catalog and watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. These days, Christmas starts before Halloween. I went to a large retail store to buy some candy and saw the Christmas decorations already filling a corner of the store. Instead of having that feeling of excitement as I did as a kid. I just sighed, but then I thought, "Ah, it is Christmas, and there is still plenty of motorcycle riding and gift buying left to do." Marketing Christmas early is nothing new thanks to retailers, but I still love to think that there is some magic left in the season. For the motorcyclist, Christmas means different things for different people. Motorcycle clubs across the Fayetteville area will host various toy and charity rides. Many people prepare their bikes for winter storage. It is also that time of year that motorcyclists and their friends and family start buying gifts for them. As your traveling correspondent, this is one of my favorite articles to write, because secretly it is my wish list. New on the scene this year is the Sena 10C helmet communications system and camera. Built for action, the Sena 10C allows for rider-to-rider communications, Bluetooth communications and video narration while riding. For those of us that have already invested in the GoPro Hero, Sena has come out with clip-on adapter which adds the same functions to your Hero! www.sena.com. REI Flex Lite Chair. This chair is a nice, lightweight traveling companion. This supportive, easy-to-pack chair features a deep, comfortable seat. Its light weight works well for packing on your bike. www.rei.com. Proficient Motorcycling: The Ultimate Guide to Riding Well written by David L. Hough, is a great book for the novice or experienced rider. This book explains everything from common sense riding to the science of your riding. For me, the book is a must read. www.amazon.com If your rider likes movies, check out The World's Fastest Indian, staring Anthony Hopkins. This is a great movie to watch when you want to ride on one of the cold winter days but cannot. This movie is based on a New Zealand speed racer named Burt Munro. Challenged by finances, age, an ocean and the odds, Munro's drive challenges him and his machine to eventually set many land speed records. www.amazon.com. The Monster Air Chuck CO2 Tire Inflation and Repair Kit by Genuine Innovations. This gift just might save the day in a roadside tire emergency. This kit provides everything a rider needs to repair and re-inflate a punctured motorcycle tire. The kit comes with two, 45-gram CO2 cartridges. Don't be fooled by trying to use a bicycle tire cartridge. There is too much volume in a motorcycle tire for a small cartridge to do the job right. www. cyclegear.com.
