Hi Guys

I'd really like to find a decent place where I can get motorcyckle stuff on
line in Canada.

Anything and everything. From brand name clothing to braided SS brake
lines.

I'm getting kinda pissed with ordering stuff thru the states, the
exchange,shipping, takes forever...the whole deal.

And you can't believe a damn thing they tell you. Things supposedly in stock
have taken 6-12 wks to arrive.

The scoop? IMHO, I don't think they have the stuff to in stock to start
with. I think they get your order then back order or fwd it off someplace.
Nice little mail order op in a 50^2 ft of rented office someplace, wiff u
compooter, pretending to have a warehouse full of krap.

What set this off this little vent was my last purchase from the US for
something. They claimed they stock everything offered onlne.. I wait 4
weeks, I'm just about ready to launch a bitch effort and I get an email that
they have had a problem getting this item in, would I still like it?

....I thought you had one on the shelf....you bone head.

Answer: yes pls. I was starting to wonder what happened to it.

So it's supposed to be there on a couple of days, it arrived in 6 working
days and on top of that I got a bill in the mail from Purolator for ~$55 Ca.
It was actually supposed to be shipped USPS for an agreed amount. How did
Purolator get into the act?

They can kiss my purple helmit. They have no chance of me sending in the
$55.

So....I guess the origonal question, does anyone know of a good online
motorcykle stuff shopping place in Canada?

Thanks a bunch ;o)

D.

I've ordered from a place called "ATV Charlies". They have a fairly good
selection of motorcycle gear, I ordered a Joe Rocket jacket from them and
got it in about 5 days in the mail, free shipping. Jacket was a good deal
as well.
