We've compiled some of the gifts your dad would appreciate this Father's Day
Most fathers will tell you they don’t need anything. That’s just how fathers are. But if your old man spends a good amount of time on the road on two wheels, there’s a good chance he’ll appreciate something that makes every ride safer, more comfortable, or simply more enjoyable.
Fortunately, our friends from Dan’s and Ride Manila offer a few items that motorcycle-riding dads will actually use instead of leaving them to collect dust in a cabinet.
Here are some gift ideas worth checking out this Father’s Day:
Bell Bullitt GT
If your dad likes classic motorcycles, chances are he’ll fall in love with the Bell Bullitt GT. The Bullitt GT takes inspiration from Bell’s iconic helmets from the 1970s, but underneath the retro styling is a modern full-face helmet packed with current safety and comfort features. It gets improved sealing around the shield, adjustable ventilation, an updated interior, and a tool-less shield removal system. It also carries the latest ECE 22.06 certification.
This is the kind of helmet that looks right at home on a Triumph Bonneville, Royal Enfield Classic 500, BMW R12, or even a customized Honda CB. If dad enjoys Sunday morning rides and appreciates vintage styling, this is an easy pick. SRP: PHP 24,990.
Bell Custom 500
Some dads simply prefer the freedom of an open-face helmet, and the Bell Custom 500 is the perfect gift for this type of dad. Bell uses multiple shell sizes to achieve a more proportional fit, while the fiberglass composite shell keeps weight down. It also features a quilted interior and a snap system that allows riders to install various shields and visors.
Is he riding a Vespa, a classic bike, or a modern cruiser? The Custom 500 offers that timeless look that never really goes out of style, just like dad. SRP: PHP 9,190.
Bell Magnum
Not every gift needs to break the bank. The Bell Magnum delivers the same retro-inspired vibe as the Custom 500 but at a more approachable price point. It comes with a removable and washable interior, leather chin strap, and a three-snap system for optional shields and visors.
For riders who enjoy relaxed city rides, coffee runs, or short weekend trips, this is a practical gift that still carries the Bell name without the premium price tag. SRP: PHP 6,890.
FOBO Bike 2
If your dad already has enough riding gear, consider giving him something he probably wouldn’t buy for himself. The FOBO Bike 2 is a smart tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) that continuously monitors tire pressure and temperature through sensors mounted on the valve stems. Information can be viewed directly from a smartphone, helping riders spot pressure issues before they become a problem.
Most riders only check tire pressure when they remember, and your dad is probably one of them. The FOBO Bike 2 does the monitoring for them every time they ride. For fathers who frequently go on long-distance rides, that’s a gift that could save them from a roadside headache. You definitely don’t want dad to get stranded in the middle of SCTEX because of a flat tire, right? SRP: PHP 5,500.
Kriega Stash Wallet
A rider can never have too many places to safely store important documents. The Kriega Stash Wallet is designed to keep cash, cards, IDs, and vehicle documents organized and protected from the elements. It may not be the flashiest item on this list, but it is probably one of the most useful (and practical).
Every motorcycle rider carries registration papers, licenses, emergency cash, and toll cards. Having all of those in one durable wallet makes life easier both on and off the bike. At just over two thousand pesos, it also makes for an affordable Father’s Day gift. SRP: PHP 2,450
INNOVV Third Eye
Sometimes the best gift is peace of mind, thanks to technology. The INNOVV Third Eye functions as a rear-view camera and blind-spot monitoring system for motorcycles. It gives riders an additional set of eyes behind them, helping improve awareness of approaching vehicles and reducing blind spots.
Riding in this country could be stressful. Having extra visibility can make daily commutes and long rides less tiring and safer. For dads who ride every day, this is one of those gadgets they may not realize they need until they start using it. SRP: PHP 16,950.
If your dad is the type who would spend some of his weekends in grease, skip the generic gifts and lean into his love for wrenching. Our friends over at GTO Trading Corporation are the ultimate wingmen for any DIY dad, stocking everything he needs to keep his machine running like new.
If he’s doing some deep-cleaning, an oil change, or tearing into his scooter’s CVT, you can build him a custom “garage survival kit” with GTO’s premium supplies. It’s the kind of thoughtful gift that shows you really get his hobby.
Father’s Day gifts don’t always have to come in a box. If your dad rides regularly, consider enrolling him in an advanced riding course at a school like MotorClyde in Sto. Tomas, Batangas. Led by Coach Clyde, the only non-Arab Asian certified by the Saudi Automobile and Motorcycle Federation (SAMF), the school offers training that can help riders sharpen their skills and stay safer on the road.
It’s a gift that could benefit him every time he rides. You know, even experienced riders can learn new techniques when it comes to cornering, braking, hazard awareness, and emergency maneuvers.
But, if the budget is a little tight this year, don’t overthink it. Ask any motorcycle-riding dad, and he’ll probably agree that a PHP 1,000 (or any amount) envelope labeled “gas money” from his son or daughter might be the best gift of all.
The fuel will eventually run out, but the thought of his son or daughter helping fund his next ride is the kind of Father’s Day gift he’ll never forget.
