Looking for a gift suggestion for the GF and the kids to give to me (age 57 next week).
I really don't need any more tools and 90% of them are Craftsman.
Still, I keep thinking how cool it would be to have some Snap On flank drive metric open end wrenches at about $165 new.
Really don't need them as I have 2 sets already.

I have yet to bend or break a Craftsman tool other than wearing out philips screw drivers.
I don't drink, bowl, gamble, or chase women.
Have all the riding gear I need.
All the triple stuff I want is expensive and I would like the present to be memorable so tires and other expendable stuff is not on the table (right now).
The thing I really need is a paint job for the tins but that's way over the budget.

Any of you other old geezers have any ideas?

They could always give you a room at the gap for a weekend :)

Soft saddle bags and/or tail bag and/or tank bag. These allow you to travel for a few days by motorcycle, or use it for work or errands. They're also easily removable, and the whole set should be under $300. I love my Firstgear Onyx bags.

Well, you can't have that

We're giving 'em away
Or how about a McCulloch chainsaw
A Las Vegas wedding, a Mexican divorce
A solid gold Kama Sutra coffee pot
Or a baby's arm holding an apple?

Sounds like you may already have a "One in a Million Girl" so no need to ask for that Jim.

OH and have a great birthday.

I've been building up a small collection of old 60's and 70's motorcycle movies. Some of them are pretty cheap and would make a nice bday gift. Some of the movies are good some are horrible but they all have some pretty cool old motorcycles in them. There are even a few with kawasakis in them. Holler if you need any suggestions.
