Ordering On-line - Rant

First Rant:
I am a bit upset about the amount of time it takes for products to be shipped. I know it is because I have a new model bike therefore all the parts have to be designed and demand is very high but I am still perturbed.

Skarkskinz - Minimum 5 weeks
Woodcraft Covers - No time line
Puig Race Screen - Took two weeks

Second Rant:
Then there are local shops that keep hardly any stock. You can never find anything you want; all they do is give you the catalogue and say "tell me what you want". (I can do that at home on the internet) God forbid that you have any questions because they know nothing about the products that they sell. While this is happening you are over hearing a young sales person telling a younger customer that a Sport bike is a great bike to start on and that Arai and Shoei helmets are overpriced and he should get the cheaper gear to start with to save some money.


Please understand that I know why online products sometimes take so long and why local dealers have no inventory, but it still pisses me off.

End of rant, thanks for your time.

I would buy local more often if they actually had decent stuff in stock. The shops here carry the bare minimum... and it's usually cheesy LP ****.
