Man Cave Must-Haves For Motorcyclists

We all prefer the riding time to the downtime, but there’s definitely a benefit to carving out a place at home where you can kick back. Man cave, lounge room, chill zone—call it what you want, but these areas should all serve up ultimate comfort and relaxation. The room can be an ideal place to seek calming solitude or a spot to gather with friends—whatever your intentions may be, you’re going to want to get a few essentials that can really make the space that much more enjoyable. Motorcycle riders will obviously like to include items that promote the riding lifestyle, but there are goods that go beyond the two-wheeled theme that could be considered as well. Appeal to all your senses by choosing the right mixture of decor and accessories that deliver the specialized sense of style you’re looking to achieve. To help, we’ve gathered eight items you’ll be sure to dig.

Every respectable man cave or garage deserves a set of barstools like these heavy-duty Harley-Davidson licensed numbers. Most stools don’t usually come equipped with backrests, but these babies do. The heavy gauge 1-inch tubular steel frame has been chrome plated for attractive good looks and protection from the elements for as long as you own this stool. The commercial-grade vinyl, thick foam padded seat, and 360-degree revolving swivel team up to make this an ideal sitting selection for your chill-out spot at home.

There’s nothing wrong with enjoying the calming scent of a good candle, guys. Don’t get the wrong idea—not all candles smell like flowers, cookie dough, or other non-manly things. The Tobacco Cedar scent from Chesapeake Bay is a great example of candles that are marketed to guys, offering scents that appeal to them. This two-candle package contains two medium size jars that burn up to approximately 50 hours each. The aroma that comes from this specific candle is earthy, smoky, and woodsy—perfect for your favorite space in the house to kick back and relax.

There’s just something about cool metal signs. They quickly and easily add style to any wall in any room. Now, if scoring an authentic vintage sign for your man cave or garage just isn’t in the budget, these nicely priced reproduction signs are definitely a great option to consider. This 14 x 14-inch round Triumph sign is made of aluminum, and features a predrilled eyelet so it’s ready to hang right out of the package.

What room couldn’t benefit from a sweet neon clock, especially one with a cool Indian Motorcycle logo at the center of it? Dual neon tubes are used on the clock—one accent color that gives off an attractive ambient light, and a white one that illuminates the clock face. A pull chain allows for easy on/off operation of the neon lights, and the accurate quartz movement keeps time no matter if the lights are on or off. There’s no better way to display pride in your ride of choice.

Sometimes nothing beats the relaxation of kicking back with a good cigar. The only thing that could spoil this sacred time is the quality of the cigar itself—especially if it has completely dried out, which really compromises its flavor and overall smoking experience. Take care of your stogies with a humidifier, so when the time comes to fire one up, your cigars will be in optimum smoking condition. Humidifiers don’t have to be expensive though—this one here rings up at just over $20, and is large enough to store 18–25 cigars at a controlled 70-percent humidity environment.

You can paint, you can wallpaper, but you’ll never be able to truly capture the look of rustic barn wood without using actual old planks. While that woody appearance is warm and inviting, it can get real expensive, real fast, not to mention all the time you’d need to install it. There is another solution to getting the look you want with peel-and-stick wood paneling. Yep, this is real wood, and it features industrial-strength adhesive strips on the back, so installation is a breeze. If you are looking to cover only a small area—or even an entire accent wall—these paneling kits are definitely an option that should receive serious consideration.

This portable Bluetooth speaker from Bose is compact enough to pack up and take on the go, but delivers powerful and immersive sound to fill up an entire room at home. The 360-degree design pumps out sound in every direction, and for when even more sound is desired, two of these units can be linked together for a stereo-like audio source that any audiophile could get down to. The seamless aluminum body is durable and water resistant, so no matter where you are, the party doesn’t have to stop. Enjoy up to 12 hours of playtime from a single charge, and for ease of operation, the SoundLink features voice prompts and access to Siri and Google Now.

What’s a man cave without a proper beverage dispenser? Step your game up several notches with this conversion kit that’ll easily turn your current ratty old fridge into the coolest of all brew stations. This particular kit comes with a commercial-grade double CO2 regulator, keg coupler, one faucet with drip tray, and an empty 5-pound aluminum CO2 tank, though you can upgrade to better-equipped versions as well.
