Since you are from Vegas, what are a few good motorcycle shops to check out in the area? Nee and I are getting married out there on Sept 27. We'll be there for almost a full week. So in addition to honeymoon stuff, i'm sure we'll check out a few motorcycle shops. So where are the good places to go?

You need to hit me up. There's a couple Cycle Gears and a restaurant/repair shop that shows all types of races. There's a couple other random shops, but Cycle Gear is where I go because they have the most stuff in stock. PM me when the day gets closer and I'll shoot ya my #.

really, I have never been real impressed with our cycle gear. They got some stuff, but it's a pretty small store and the prices aren't that great. Good place to try stuff on though.

The one I go to is decent size and I enjoy the military discount 24/7. And their 100% guarantee is just that. They told me if I wreck in my suit and don't like how it held up I can return it. Can't beat that.

I'm calling bullshit on that. Not saying they didn't say that to you, but I dont see how that can stand behind that guarantee. Every limp dick who crashes could walk in there and claim they didn't like the way the suit held up. "Free suits for everyone". I don't buy it. They wouldn't be in business very long.

Believe me, if I wreck I might test it out. In the mean time I'm gonna laminate my receipt.

A friend of ours here in Jax is a manager of one of our local stores. They totally stand by the 100% guarantee. No matter what. You wouldn't believe the things she has returned for customers, even after a year.

One guy bought a pair of Alpinestars gloves and had them for close to a year. He rode all the time. Street & track. At the end of the year, there was a small hole worn into the palm of the gloves. He took them back and said for a $150 pair of gloves they should last longer then that. She gave him a new pair of gloves.

They are all about customer service. We spend quite abit of money at Cycle Gear. It helps I get my MSF rider coach discount, which rocks.
