[MUZT3K]

Hey guys...sometime this year im going to be purchasing a bike...and i was told now is the best time to buy summer gear due to it being winter so summer gear is alot cheaper now..

does anyone know of any good places with a good variety and affordable they can recommend to me?

Thanks in advance guys.

Honestly James, best thing to do is get it online (even from the US with the exchange rate) but make sure you try sizing first (just go to any shop and see what you want and try it and just order online) but if you really want to buy here Peterstevens has a good selection and the clearance center is a good. I've never been here myself but I've be meaning to check them out, you should too http://amawarehouse.com.au/. If you need any advice or help James you still have my number yea?

PS. When you get your bike let me know we'd love to have you on our rides

PPS. I have a friend at peter stevens who could most likely get you 15% off on all gear (excluding clearance) if your bent on shopping here and not online

Also remember US sizing can at times vary, so just be mindful of this as Helmuts certainly can be different after a mate was caught out like that.

Was just lucky another mate of ours was chasing a helmut and it was a fit

Just remember for Helmets you MUST buy Australian as if you don't have the Australian sticker they charge you the same for not wearing a Helmet (my mom found that out first hand) probably should have pointed that out to begin with

Oh come come, there are ways around that, and lots ex-US seem too have sticker anyway.

Be happy to bro, let me know if you when you want to check things out we can get the guys out and have a long needed catch up. Go for your L's as soon as you can though since you have to hold them for a year anyway

Haha I still haven't found a way to do that as there are some pretty sick Helmets online that i want

yer sad thing is i got my L's like a month before i lost my license so now i gotta re-do it *face palm*

Another place to buy bike (specifically mainly motox) stuff is torpedo7.com.au

[Russman]

Bike mart in Ringwood is pretty good. Motorbike stuff is rarely cheap.

Advice given to me by my bikey friends, go to a shop, any shop, try on, find the brand size etc, then shop online! The only time you get good deals is when they're on clearance, but that hardly ever happens, and usually low end stuff never goes cheap.

that's what they told me

Bikers Gear Australia

Just buy the gear second hand off ebay. I've bought heaps of gear only worn a couple times or new for about a thrid what its worth so if you want buy $300 alpinestar gloves some guy has never used instead of some cheap $100 specials form the shop. Recently scored set of over 2k worth of motocross gear for $550 like new (prob never worn) including asterick knee braces off ebay.

Just checked out the Torpedo site and prices are pretty good.

[Dostalgia]

I get my gear from overseas, with the aussie dollar so strong now, i would definitely source my gears overseas.

I believe peter stevens has one of the wides range in store, though on the more price side, however there are still some bargains you can pick up and you can always try on what you would like before you buy them online.

When i was still riding, i have also gotten some of my gears and had my service done at Bike+ down in Essendon North along Keilor Road.
