    Royal Distributing in Whitby/Oshawa had agv helmets last time I was there a couple of months ago, don't know if they have the specific models you list though, I got the feeling they did a end of line buy because they were heavily discounted.

    What tax is payable on a private trade?

    If I make a deal to trade my bike for someone elses' bike, is HST due only on the difference in value? and if it's an even trade then no tax? Or does the MTO still want their cut?

    who works in a suit and tie office and rides to work?

    Leave a coupe of jackets from suits at work, swap them out when you take them for dry cleaning. That way you only deal with suit pants, shirt, and tie on your ride (and shoes of course but that's standard).
