    How's about something bike or rock related to the month and year of his birth? For example my BIL is 40 in Nov, I've been thinking as he's a fan of Le mans, F1 and cars in general plus any wheel Motorsport something like

    MOTOR SPORT MAGAZINE NOVEMBER 1973 HONDA CIVIC TR6 UNITED STATES GRAND PRIX | eBay

    1973 Le Mans 24 Hours Heures Period Original Race Poster - Nr. Mint Condition | eBay

    11/74 What Car Mag Ford Mazda Toyota VW Citroen Opel Datsun Audi Vauxhall | eBay

    AUTOSPORT MAGAZINE NOVEMBER 1 1973 VOL 53 NO 5. | eBay

    or get something singed from his favorite racer or rock band?

    What about a wheelie school, a professional photo shoot with his bike, guitar greats like Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Gary Moore memorabilia off Ebay.

    How about a bulk buy of Viagra? Should last him a while and it'll keep a smile on your Mum's face too, as an added bonus :D

    What about a Ferrari/Lambo/Aston Martin Experience round a track? I think most blokes his age have had a go at this at some point.

    How about a 'road trip weekend' - book 2 hotel nights up in Scotland with meal plan, take a tripod and get some good photos of the two of you with bikes and stunning scenery.

    When you return get best one framed as lasting momento perhaps.

    As alternative to supercar experience hire one car for a day and have a day out in it. Your folk could go in car nd you film them from bike with forward and rear facing GoPro.
