Stage 3 of 4
The gift
Buying for someone who rides, when they already own every tool and two pairs of gloves.
Riders are hard to buy for, and it isn't because they're fussy. It's because the useful things are personal to the machine, the safety kit has to be fitted to the person, and everything else has already been bought twice. These pages start from the recipient rather than from a shelf: who they are, what they ride, and how much notice you've got. Where a page can't honestly separate itself from the main guide, it says so and sends you there.
