re: importing alpinestars (much cheaper)
There's a few on ebay, I know of someone who got them from Big Daddy's discounts, there's a place called motofit who wont' reply to my emails, but I'm going to try one called gearmax, good feedback, good prices 

re: importing alpinestars (much cheaper)
I'd been looking ino this option aswell and I've found some good stuff at this sight but havent actually bought anything yet.

I haven't bought anything from them yet, but they answer emails and ship here. I am looking to buy a Puig screen from them.
I also want to support local shops and normally I do. But, not only are our prices higher than the US, we all also far behind on delivery of new products. So, you can get it earlier and cheaper... it''s not rocket surgery.

Mr Admin
Is there a chance for a sticky with links to cheap gear in the gear section.
Also Hapers in the uk do a very decent job too.
I can only say good things about them.

All my gear is from him and it was roughly half price (including the delivery cost) of the store prices in australia.
ordered my jacket on a thursday morning. it was at my door the following tuesday morning.
+1 for flyin brian, have bought numerous items from there without any problems.
No ifs or buts, we get screwed over on pricing when it comes to moto apparel. Sure, I would like to buy locally, even if its $100-$200 more for a jacket say, but alot of stuff from overseas is half price including shipping than what u can get off the rack here. I bought an A* TZ1 for $400 imported, off the rack here its $800+ WTF?
The only thing I'd buy in aus is the helmet, and thats just for the sticker.
Not sure why stuff is more expensive here, I guess the importer wants a cut, then perhaps there is a distributor who wants a cut, and then the store itself...?
