[QUOTE="dodgedogjb, post: 289694, member: 24246"] I think we all do our best to support the local shops but there becomes a point when its hard to do. If its only a few bucks cheaper usually the hassle of online ordering and desire to support the local boys is enough to make me go to the local shop. But for instance, I just bought a digital camera and after looking at local shops and on the internet I just couldn't overcome the $175 price difference to support my local shop. I tried to let them match, or even come close and they wouldn't even talk to me about it. I did purchase accessories from a particularly helpful shop though so I felt a little better. If companies like Arai are going to make it hard to get a good deal on their equipment I think they are gonna see it in their profit margins. Of course they will probalby realize it after they darn near go bankrupt. When I was buying my Arai helmet for my street bike I had to go to 4 different shops just to find all the sizes I needed to try on, and once I found the right size they said the had to order the color scheme I wanted. The salesman said they were so expensive they couldn't afford to keep a lot of them in stock. The buying public shouldn't have to work so hard to purchase a product....it just doesn't make good business sense. But, they do make damn fine helmets so people might jump through the hoops??? Risky on Arai's part if you ask me. Joel [/QUOTE]
