Got a $75 gift card for Amazon.com and I've really got nothing to spend it on. Thinking I might order some stuff for my bikes but I don't know what. Just bought a new chain and sprockets for my 07, my 98 has like no miles on its chain...

Oil filters?  :dunno_black:

Suggestions??

Suggestions??

oil filters
drain plug gasket
air filter
oil
tires
chain lube
cleaners
wax
raingear
boots
gloves (warm weather, cold weather
new visor for helmet
tools
valve tool
tire irons
t handle socket tools
led light bulbs / kit
warm weather jacket
battery tender

I could go on and on...that $75 would be gone in one second!

Pick up some motorcycle touring books and find a new place to ride your bike.  And a nice tank bag is always a good purchase   :thumb:

Out of all those things the only thing I don't have is a battery tender and that's because I ride my motorcycles 12 months out of the year. ;)

I might save it for use when I need to replace the airfilter - which will be a while since I just replaced it!

Haha, well, thanks but no thanks! XD

I'll probably just keep it. I'm sure I'll find a use for it ;)

Save the $$ for "consumables"   oil, filters, tires etc.....you will need this type of stuff eventually!

Do I detect a bit of sarcasm? :p

The GS is not my first bike by any means, heh. Between my father and I we have probably close to 5 sets of every tool you could imagine (they're somewhere!) because they'd get misplaced so we'd just buy more. Not expensive tools but tools nonetheless.

I think I will just save my money for a set of new tires. It'll be a while but $75 is almost half of a decent set of tires! :)

Sarcasm?   Me?  sarcasm??

No,  it's more like envy!!

Actually, the "list" I gave you is about evrything I purchased in the last two years...so I already have all of that too......but I get e-mail ads from about 6 motorcycle places every day...each of these places has about 10,000 items....I'm sure I could spend $75 in short order if I had to.

In fact, if I won the lottery, I could spend all of that as well!

Tires? Good idea...or just save your $$$ "for a rainy day" as they say!
