Every motoshop I go to has just four brands. Yes you've guessed it.. Icon, Joe Rocket, A-Stars and Cortech/tourmaster. Not that I don't think these companies make great products but I'd like to see different brands. Most shops that i've been to have the low end products also. Most of the really cool items that are on the cortech site I just can't find. I check out the first gear site and they really have some cool stuff for sport riding I just wish more shops carried that brand so I could check them out...

Blame the distribution channels. With the required minimums to be stocked and the items required to be stocked, a local dealer has little or no reason to try and carry much of anything. It's a quit route to stale product and making no profit.

tell me about it. I'm seriously considering the JR Supermoto jacket and pants but cannot find them anywhere. I've already bought 3 jackets that were sent back immediately for improper size. I guess I'll just have to fly to Daytona or somewheres they sell all the goods. NUTS

Go to www.newenough.com - they have most Tourmaster/Cortech except for their NEAT denim jacket.

Their prices are very competitive and they also have First Gear & few other brands.
