    My brother turns 40 next wednesday and as usual I'm having an impossible time deciding on a gift.

    Some visuals of his randomness (blacksmithing classes), Easy Rider trip, and booze-hound-iness. He's #2 behind my dad in running the family drywall company, but an architect at heart. He's a new dad, rides a harley, likes to shoot my guns, a photographer, a camper/outdoorsman, loves all sorts of beer & root beer & food. I've been searching for a couple weeks and just havent found anything "right." Throw some ideas out there...

    Wait, for your brother? My normal approach does not apply here.

    Do you have a price range? That'll help narrow things down a bit.

    For a 40th I'd think some sort of "life experience" would be a great gift. Skydiving session, NASCAR experience, something like that.

    We're already doing some sort of adventure - he has yet to make a decision...he's narrowed it down to a trip to FL Keys with myself and our dad or a bare-bones week long motorcycle adventure and maybe try the Iron Butt challenge.

    Here I'm looking for just a more personal, fun, unique gift - $200 or less.

    If you go the alcohol route try and give him some basil haden's. My dad swears by that stuff.

    It's slightly out of budget, but do you think he'd like a GoPro video camera? It's available with a handlebar mount so he can grab video of some of his rides. Also comes with a waterproof case for those fishing trips and rainy days.

    Not exactly a unique gift but it'd give him the chance to capture some of his adventures and relive them later.

    you can pick up the 960 model for $179 at Costco's. 960 is all I shoot in my GP anyway. It is the same camera minus the firmware doesn't support a backpac led. Still a good gift!

    How about a new Garmin GPS? The new Montana model is sweet but maybe out of your budge or a good ol CX60x is a workhorse for out in the woods & add a ram mount & its good for the Harley.


    A nice pair of Maui Jim Sunglasses? My brother in law loves his!

    Or maybe a nice quality toolbox engraved with some harley custom plaque little pic of his new child on the inside? Maybe a lot of work to put it together but it would be unique.

    I think this one is a winner - If he's anything like my brother, a little creativity is a must -

    even with the gopro cam, maybe you could film some kind of vid for him to take it that extra mile!

    The GoPro is in the lead so far. I went with the harley toolbox idea at 35. He's got plenty of sunglasses and a GPS already.

    But on the real thats tough, I was going to suggest a GP cuz even if you dont even do a lot of extreme activites or what ever its just awesome to have.


    Im not sure what the iron butt challenge is but im sure the GP could come in handy for some of it...

    Thats insane and awesome at the same time. Gotta have an iron butt for sure and be wired too for that much riding.

    If you do that please document it cuz that is just awesome.

    The 50cc one would be awfully tough. I left from Oregon on a Monday and rolled into NJ Friday around noon. Can't imagine cramming that into just over 2 days.
