Just returned from the shop in Hanover, PA....
I had a coupon they sent me in the mail a while back for 40% off parts and accessories (expires today). Didn't think too much about it. I had to work the entire weekend so today was my day off so I wanted to get out and ride. I went to another shop and it just so happend that they had just gotten the Scala Rider team set. I figured that maybe if I go to the shop in Hanover they might have the Team Set and I could get it for a better price. (was really thinkin it was just a promotional add and they would only give me a percentage off air filters, oil or bike specific accessories) I rode the 40 miles out to Hanover just to check it out. My SO was itchen to go for a ride so I brought her along as well. When we got there I went up to the counter and of course they didn't have the Team Set. We were looking around at all the gear not really interested in anything they had. One of the older salesman walked by and I asked him what the coupon was really good for!? He basically said anything (1 item) for the rider or the bike but that didn't include sale prices. So I asked him if that included the helmets, and he said "YEP!, bout the only time most people can afford a SHOEI or Arai." While we were lookin at the helmets a guy walks up and says " you both looking to get a helmet? Here I got another coupon you can have." Which was really cool, but I definately didn't intend to spend that much money when I got there. I currently have an HJC CL-14 which is too big and I hate all the wind noise. My wife has a cheap open face with face shield (Vega). I figure this is the best time to drop some money on a "quality product" (so I've heard). Well, after trying on a buch of helmets we both picked one out and procede to the counter, the salesman was really cool, he said he didn't "know
" we were together and rang us up seperately, but let us pay with the same card! :yahoo: The ride home was much better. My helmet is much quieter up until around 55 MPH and a little quiter over that. Air flow is MUCH better! I feel $285 is a lot of money but I still think it was worth it and much better than spending over $500 each for the same thing.
