    I'd half expect it to be the other way around, but this is great, because it would give me a local place to do exchanges, try on gear etc!

    Cycle gear will just screw it up. Hopefully they'll let the guys that run it continue to do so. It's bar none the best place to buy apparel. Great products, reviews for everything, and easy returns.

    Seen the dude in the pic. He talks way too fast.. I think they got him from one of those sales channel shows selling cubic zirconia navel plugs.

    Expecting that the brick and motor (pun) stores to be full service after a buyout might end up like the Wally stores that are closing all over the US.

    The dude, not jevs avatar.. That's a keeper and a nice bike I think.

    I hope it turns the other way around and we can get real quality gear at Cycle Gear. Some of the Built top end gear is actually pretty good, I think its called their Sedici line.

    I crashed my 05 VFR on Saturday and the Sedici gear saved my butt. And shoulders, elbow, knees, etc. Lifetime warranty on it to for defects. Not crashing, they don't like that too much... :beguiled: But the gear worked when I needed it to. The Scorpion gloves worked well too.

    It must be a hostile takeover. There's no way Anthony and Revzilla would willingly sell to that Chinese filled shithouse...aka Cycle Gear! Anytime I'm interested in any piece of gear, I go to Revzilla to check out the review. Sad to see them go.

    I'm looking forward to some ads in Chinese from the dude who talks too fast.

    I don't think the liquid or whatever it was that got on my front tire is my fault, because it didn't come from the road, that is something I ran over.

    Anyways. I hope they keep doing the reviews. I found them informative. But I won't buy from the USA for a while with our loonie being so low. The exchange rate kills me. Regardless, the reviews were good to see for when I buy something here.

    I could out ride your ass with my bike going backwards. Clear dry roads with a mechanical failure that caused the crash. Don't you wish you had an actual reason for your drops?

    Go stroke your pussy, because you have nothing to add here.

    By the way, there is a reptile group on Facebook that are always looking for live food for their snakes. I gave them your address. The kittens look delicious.

    As long as they keep the rest of Revzilla's inventory selection, I won't mind. If they absorb Revzilla into Cycle gear, well..... Cycle Gear doesn't stock Givi stuff for example. I imagine if they're willing to drop hundreds of millions like that they're going to want to keep Revzillas current business model, one can hope.

    I think it's a good move, but at the same time online is killing brick and mortar.
    However, it's very time consuming trying helmets on online. I think this will give Cycle Gear legitimacy as they will have access to the great products and expertise of Revzilla.

    Ugh. I don't like the sound of this. Revzilla has outstanding customer service, and CG, well, results may vary. My experience with CG is that they are teetering on being subpar.
