Buy Local
Went to the Honda dealership yesterday to get some brake pads, which is less of a dealership and more of a local motorcycle store.
Called first, they've got the pads. Drive over, they don't have the pads. been wanting a Scorpion Evo 700 Burst (red/black) helmet for a while, but out of budget. I offhandedly quipped that driving over and not having the pads, they should give me 10% off on a helmet.
they said, "let's do it."
Scorpion Evo 700s are $219.95 everywhere, no exception on the Burst. After a little discussion, walked out with one for $199.50 tax included and the pleasure of supporting a local business.
Years ago, same deal on my Miller 135. Could have gotten one cheaper on eBay, but buying local got a free set of gloves and a spool of wire and some good advice along with a hearty handshake.
Buy local.
