I've always wanted to learn to ride a motorcycle and I decided to get my first helmet and jacket at GP Bikes and I was not disappointed in my choice. I did a bit of research before hand but not nearly enough to prepare me for the variaty of gear available. The staff were very helpful and knowledgeable, detailing the differences between different style of jacket and helmet and giving pointers on fitting them properly. If you do plan on visiting definitely ask the staff for their advice to help you find the best deal. For first time buyers I would highly recommend coming to a store in person. Online shopping may be tempting but the fit and feel of the items you are buying is so important that trying them on before purchasing is invaluable. And you couldnt do better than GP Bikes. One of the things I loved the most about my visit was the general atmosphere of the location, which was welcoming to riders and of every background as evidenced by the variaty of poeple visiting. Families, couples, solos, experienced and inexperienced. It made me feel quite welcome as a first time buyer. To close I will mention that prices may be a bit high for those on a budget but I managed to snag my two items, a Joe Rocket Reflex textile jacket and a Deluxe Qualifier Bell helmet on significant sales so just buy smart and you'll make out okay. And finally, never underestimate the importance of safety first. Given the choice spend a bit more for the safer of two options. Safe riding everyone!
