Re: [ST] Helmet Preference...

[Matt Knowles <matt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have no problem buying mail order vs. local shops. In fact I just 
bought two tires by mail order for the exact reason mentioned below 
(except the local shop didn't have them in stock any ways.) What my 
comment was directed to (and this is coming from the perspective of 
someone who has worked in a motorcycle dealership) is the practice of 
using the dealer to try on helmets, jackets, and other items and then 
walking out the door and ordering them by mail.

If people want the services that a dealership or local store 
provides, then they should support that dealer.
