I'm out in California visiting a friend for the weekend and I would like to go try on some helmets and possibly buy one while I'm out here. I was looking to check out AGV in particular since no-one in my area carries that brand. I am in the North Hills area just north of LA by the Burbank airport.

thanks,

John

Hm. The best places to pickup a helmet out here are usually via ordering either through a private seller or a small mom/pop shop. Major outlets like cycle gear and such will pretty much rob you blind; whether it be for a lid or anything else.

Try calling "Cycle Depot" in Eagle Rock (about 15-20 mins from burbank). Last I checked they were hooking it up for lids at a fairly decent price, although it's been quite sometime since I was last out there (not for any reason in specific). When I picked up my Arai Corsair a while back, they gave the best price around.. Cycle Gear pretty much wanted double for what I got it for. :fact

If that doesn't work out, try and see if 'Leo' from "ATV Repo Depot" in burbank (on Victory blvd) can help you out: (818) 355 - 9499

Just let him know some local guys with Yamaha R6's referred you. He usually likes to give fairly good deals to new customers.

Tons of places to get a brain bucket in SoCal.

There's Cycle Gear, Wheels in Motion and Afterburner MX in Canoga Park, Bombay Motorsports in Reseda, AIP Racing in Van Nuys, the Yamaha dealer in North Hollywood, and a few others I can't think of right now.

In Santa Monica, there's West Coast GP Cycles, which is a racer shop, owned and operated by racers.

Thanks guys, i know it's cheaper to buy online sometimes but since I never tried a agv I wanted to try it on before I bought one online. I was told to check out the north Hollywood yamaha by another friend. So if I can get them to take me there and maybe the place on victory since they are both close to where he lives.

I went to weSt coast in Santa monicaand while it was a cool shop with a pretty nice guy. They didn't have any helmets there in stock. I will try north Hollywood next based on his recommendation.

if you can make it out to Thousand Oaks look into Passion Motorsports :sing

oh btw... AGV FTW

If you're just trying on helmets, your best bet is CG.

does CG carry AGV in So Cal?

if so I am jealous

 

[r0cket0710]

I will buy one while I'm out here if I find what I want. In all fairness to west coast gp he did say he would fit me and order whatever I wanted but I didnt have that much time yesterday. Anyways on my way to north Hollywood yamaha now.

There's another small dealership in Burbank, on Hollywood Way, a few blocks North of Magnolia.

At the NoHo dealership, they have lids, but I don't think there's much on the shelf.

Good question, but honestly, I've never paid much attention.

Well I struck out again. They didn't have any nor did they carry them so he called a shop in Hollywood that said they had some in stock. Well they do carry and stock agv but only the half face lids. I guess I'll hit up cycle gear in Florida when I get back. It's funny because I didn't want to go there because it's to far but I figure I've traveled two times the distance out heretrying to track a gp tech down.

Most cyclegears carry the agv 5 continents as thats the current newest model just having your size in stock might be a problem

Hollywood is only 15 minutes South of NoHo, so it might be worth the trip if you need to try the lid on.

If not, check the Aprilia / Ducati dealership in Glendale. Glendale is the next city East of Burbank.
