Mostly online for me. I may buy a few things from a local shop but usually after doing my research I order online.

Local dealer 100%.

It's nice dealing with a company you can trust.

Online usually unless it's gear, then I want to try it on before I buy.

Depends. If it's something I need immediately I go to the dealer. If it's something I can wait on I'll get it online.

However, with the recent transgressions of the Motor Company I now avoid the dealer at all costs, and quite frankly, they haven't been able to help me either. Which is sad, b/c, honestly, I'd rather pay a little more to get my parts when I want them and to support local biz. So, too bad for them.
