I need a place to unload some praise about this online supplier.  Guess it fits here good enough.
That place, consistently and unbelievably, delivers orders faster than any place I know of.
I've ordered tires from there for years.  Always get them within 48 hours and have never gotten the wrong part or size.
I ordered tires, chain, and sprockets yesterday, just before lunch.  They were on the front porch when I got home from today's ride.
I know they have a warehouse in KY....but dang.

They are awesome.  Whenever I need anything moto-related, I always try to find it first at RM.  I think that their warehouse must be across the street from the UPS hub in KY.

I for one, welcome our alien overlords.  ;)

Been getting stuff from them for years. On the rare occasions it was the wrong stuff (and every time so far, it was the wrong stuff because I ordered the wrong stuff  ;D ) they took it back with no hassles, no problems, and friendly communications to boot.

#1 with a bullet as some radio jockey use to say.    ;)

Rocky has been my go to for years. Always the first place I look when I need a part for street or dirty.

I was in St. George,Utah in June of '14. My Nomad was broke down and I didn't have any good options. I went to their dealership there (yes they actually have a showroom and they sell bikes) and they were able to put me on a new '13 Concours 14 at a price I found more than fair. I was stranded and they knew it. It would have been a great opportunity to take advantage of a poor old Alabama Redneck. They chose to help me. I'm a huge fan of RMATV and I give them as much of my business as I can.
Motorcycling is not, of itself, inherently dangerous. It is, however,  extremely unforgiving of inattention, ignorance, incompetence, or stupidity.

If it don't scare you, you ain't doing it right.

Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.

Jwwr

Yep! Love the place. I also love their "Tusk" store brand. I have the Tusk racks and panniers and they are really good for the price.

Not only do they get stuff to your door the next day for no extra charge and have the cheapest prices...they also "pay" you for it.
I just placed an order for @$350 last night,  and earned $16.84 cash back for my next order.

The Tusk stuff is great...their KTM brake pads are half as much $$ as oem and work better. I've got some of their A.R.C. brand clothing also and it's good stuff.

I borrowed some of these from Fencejumper09's tool kit last weekend.  Light as a feather and now in my kit too.

He didn't want them back?



;D








RMATV-MC is hard to beat. As others have said, it's the first place I go to to look for anything.

another big positive for RM ATV.

Ordered a few items for Lynn's XT225 and my XR650L and KLX250 on Sunday afternoon, got one small item yesterday, and the rest today.

Not to be a naysayer, because quick service and great prices are all good things, and you know I am as addicted to free overnight shipping as anyone, but this makes me sad a little bit.

I remember how my friends' parents' businesses folded when Walmart first came to my little home town.

So it is with respect that I say, just don't wonder why your local parts store goes out of business.

Some deserve to go out of business.

Our #1 favorite dealership punching  bag rarely has what I need in stock,  charges too much for it, and takes weeks to get it if I do order it. I can't say I've ever felt welcome there, an often feel like I am interupting them.

See my thread on working on my xt350 for why Hall's won't have to worry about me darkening their door.

Unfortunately, The Bike Shop and Motorace are not OEM dealerships and really don't have much in stock even in the way of aftermarket stuff. I assume their business plans are based on providing mechanical service, not selling parts and accessories.
Stocking parts and accessories is a big investment, that's money that can be sitting on the shelf for a long time that could be better used elsewhere.
Recently, I have bought my tires from Motorace and Rodney, but I don't really see it as much profit for them. I'm sure that Rodney and Clark's time spent looking up parts and helping customers would be better spent actually wrenching for billable hours.
Some people need a local dealership, especially those that lack the time or the skills to work on their own bikes, they are the ones that should be demanding better service and prices.
There are great dealerships out there, Pandora's in Chattanooga, Allsport in Decatur, come to mind. But they are an hour plus for me.
I wish I could walk into a dealership, hang out, talk bikes, spend some money, and feel like I am contributing to the local motorcycle experience, but instead I am often treated like I know nothing and should just open my wallet and be happy I leave with enough to buy gas home.

I try to buy locally but sometimes it's way more practical to buy online.  I buy my tires at Midway Cycles except for tires for tires for my KLR which I mount myself.  For OEM parts for my Kawasaki's and Yamaha's I go to Allsport.  For riding gear I generally buy at Cycle Gear or online since the local dealers carry very little of that stuff.  I wish dealers would carry more riding gear because I prefer to try stuff on before buying but I understand why they don't.

Yep, some dealerships are like that, even if you buy the motorcycle from them. Anyone remember Big #1?  They raped customers for years and years. Ask BR member Val.

I was wary of the dealership I bought my A.T. from, Pinnacle: https://pinnaclemotorsportsal.com/ But I do have to say, they  exceed my expectations.  Got the A.T. for what I was willing to pay...at an "out the door" price. I was willing to pay that as a "before tax" price.
I got the color I wanted, even though they had to go get it from the distribution place. I had a flat on the side of the interstate and no tools to repair it. They came, picked it up, and told me a price on replacing the tube (HD tube), mount the tube and tire that was only $5.00 more than what a tube would cost me.
They could screw me over one day, but until that happens, they have my business.  ;) ;)
