Can someone please recommend me some motorcycle shops that they have been and it's good?

I know there is a website https://fortnine.ca. But I want to see it in person so I don't want to buy gears online?

Anywhere in Richmond Hill, Markham, North York, Midtown are all good!

Thank you very much :)
 
GP Bikes, Royal Distributing are both on the same street in Whitby. Used gear . Re-Gear in Oshawa.
 
There's a Royal Dsitributing on Innisfil near the 400 as well. There's a couple leather stores in Toronto too like Flying Squirrel, Doc Leathers(?), and Speedworx has some nice higher end good stuff at Highway 7 and Markham I think.
 
Gear....gear is both singular and plural for clothing. Those funny cogs that change the way your throttle behaves are gears. Grr...really grinds my gears I might be forced to brake something with my break lever.
 
Thx guys, gonna go there and check out some heated gears. And I'm going to the bike show in Feb too!
 
My apologies if my question is going to be off topic or just slightly related.

What's everyone's experience with ordering from across the border? Europe? I have, in the past, ordered bicycle parts from UK and they have all been deeply discounted compare to local prices, and I have never been hit with duties or taxes. I figured even if I did, it would still be cheaper. However for motorcycle parts/appeals the price differences is less, plus the relatively weak Canadian $ now if I get hit with duties/taxes, the cost will be more. Is it still worth it?

Thanks.
 
Depends on the shipper. If it's sent DHL you're generally guaranteed to get dinged with the full amount of taxes/duty, which will usually be about 30% of the declared value.

I've bought from motocard.nl and the converted prices + shipping + duty (they're DHL) was still less than local price + taxes.

If you're buying from the States there's a greater chance of it being USPS which doesn't always get hit by duties. It can be a crapshoot. With whatever you're buying, the safe bet is to add 30% to it and if it's less than the local price, you're good.
