Pro Italia is in Glendale which is near there if you want to go look at pasta rockets. I've never been up there, but it's supposed to be a great dealer.

Cycle Gear is a chain "gear" place with a bunch of locations. I don't have much other good advice than that.

No idea on rentals.

Head over to Covina (at the base of GMR and Angeles Crest) off the 210, and look around. Many bike, parts, and accessories shops there, if you're looking to make purchases.

The Dianese Factory Store is in Costa Mesa, if you want to go look at dead cow.

The Sportbike Rental place gets consistently good reviews from everyone that has used it.

What size gear are you, I got some leathers you can borrow, I think 46 and 48, and boots about size 10. I'm about 25-30 miles from Arcadia.
