Hi, i wonder if anyone can tell me were the best place to look for helmets and clothing in Florida, my 50 year old hubby who is just entering his teenage years!!!! .when we first met 35 years ago he said you will never get me on one of those things, no way!! Now he has bought himself one and now he's taking lessons. Men i will they ever grow up?

I don't know about men growning up but I learnt to ride a motorbike in my thirties and passed my test when I was 3 months pregnant!!! I then keep stealing hubby Yamaha 750 Genesis[msnwink]
My hubby is the same, he used to compete throughout the world in motorcycle sports and becomes a kid again when it comes to bikes. I don't really think that stuff is any cheaper in the states re: jackets and leathers, not sufficiently so, to be carting helmet etc back.
Like Liesa said, the Harley shops are expensive.

Big Harley shop in the middle of Kissimmee just up from where Watermania was, or loads and loads of shops in Daytona Beach which is the biking centre round here.

I bought a helmet from The Helmet Shop in Daytona saved over £150 compared to price here in the UK, they are on the net.
Best bet is big bike meets here in the UK were dealers sell off last years stock, their is a name for one particular meet were everything is very cheap, the name escapes me at the moment, I'll add it when it comes to me.
Alan got leathers from a shop on International Drive, up towards Belz. Sorry I can't remember the name of it, but it's on the left before the last set of lights before Belz. It is specialist bike gear shop.
You could also try Wilson's Leather. There are several in Orlando - one at Premium Outlets, one at the Factory Stores on the 535, and one at Florida Mall too.

Bit off topic - but don't forget to go down to Old Town (on the 192) on a Thurs evening for Biker Night. Your husband will be in heaven! Even as non-bikers we're fascinated by the wonderful bikes there.

we have a R1 Yamaha
and have look all over the place for leathers
we have found some shops up the OBT have started stocking some clothes this January
and Helmets but remember there not British standard , so we wouldnt buy them
we did notice in Jan 06 that a lot of bikers wearing helmet , we asked a American Friend about this and she said they had a Law passed Last year that you had Insurance over $10,000
you don't need to wear a helmet
wish my McManager would have had one on
her and her New husband of three months
where kill on there bike last Jan both not wearing helmets

David has Had a bike since he was 16 now 42 and wouldn't hire a bike in Florida
as my American friend said , lots of car drivers
in a place they have never been before
Driving on the wrong side of the road
in a car with the wheel on the wrong side , and looking round at all the sites ,Nightmare
