Title: Gear shopping
Post by: ADV Piglet on August 03, 2017, 08:20:19 PM
Stopped at Performance Cycle in Denver. Every brand of everything!! Jackets, pants, helmets, bags, tools, parts... Felt like a kid in a candy store.

Great store, I was there just after they opened their new store.  Spent lots of money!  Well at least for me anyway!

South Dakota is "mail order" country... it's good to visit the big cities once in a while.

ND is the same... the internet is my friend and my biggest challenge when shopping for anything.

How is the pricing in that store compared to online?   

I'd like to check that place out.  And hey Watertown to Denver flights are $99 each way and sometimes on sale for $75!

There are only a couple kinds of shopping I enjoy... motorcycles,  accessories, maybe electronics, and beer :)

Cheaper than online prices by maybe 5-10%, but you also pay sales tax, so doesn't end up being that much cheaper.

The big plus side is they carried almost everything, so could compare side by side, try on, etc. I think they had 20-30 different women's jackets so I was able to try them all on (and not ship back ones I didn't like). They probably had 50+ different styles of men's jackets
Same for any of the riding gear - boots, pants, gloves, helmets. So much it was overwhelming trying to choose!
