Message: [QUOTE="2stroke, post: 616949, member: 25668"] Well, the idea of supporting your local dealer. No. Yesterday, I called up "Cycle World" in Baltimore, about a clutch cable for my 93 KX 250. First time around, after holding a bit,the guy came back and said no we dont have it, and hung up without so much as offering to order it. Then I called back, and asked directly about ordering it. 4 to 5 days and $37.50! For GOds sake, I can order it from Dennis Kirk for $11.99!!!! and still get it in 4 to 5 days, even WITH shipping of $6.00 Im still saving $20.00!!! THe internet has been a great leveler. THe average Joe now has some serious purchasing power. Its like Walmart. The one I frequent started carrying grocery items, and guess what? The are so much cheaper than the grocery store, I dont spend half of what I used to at the Grocery store anymore. And no, I dont feel bad about it at all. Besides, Cycle world is a BIG operation. THeres no way they shouldnt have it in stock, and at a reasonable price. I guess they cater to BIg daddy, who bought junior one of them there dirt bike thingies. Personally, there is a guy who runs a SMALL shop in my old neighborhood, and I use him for the VERY FEW things I dont do myself in the area of machine work, even though its a drive and his prices are not the best. Hes been there for years, since I was a kid. I believe in supporting the little guy when you can, but I cant let some multi million dollar operation like Cycle World rob me blind. [/QUOTE]
