Hi guys

Off to Brisbane in a couple of weeks and looking for a store with a decent range of boots , jacket and gloves etc. Don't really want to spend hours going from store to store so can you guys recommend one.

Just asked a mate in Brisbane and he suggested AMA 2/75-77 Lear Jet Dr, Caboolture Brisbane and at 6/4 Old Pacific Hwy, Yatala Brisbane http://www.amawarehouse.com.au/
And or Motobarn 3385 Pacific Hwy, Slacks Creek Brisbane.... http://www.motobarn.com.au/

Yep if you're heading to the goldy AMA warehouse is pretty good. It's about half way from brissy to the g.c.

Thanks for your advise guys. Trips now over and headed to AMA warehouse first stop. Must say i wasnt that impressed. The shop was dark inside and i was specifically looking for womens boots and winter gloves for myself. You can forget about anything for a NZ winter over there. The guy there showed me one model of Gearns boots and they were crap. He then proceeded to show one model of Alpinestars and one other brand. That was it and out the door thanks.Heaps of motocross gear though. Second stop was Motobarn and about 10 minutes closer to Brisbane. The store was heaps better and bigger to find what you were looking for. Spoke to a nice guy there who proceeded to show me some Dryrider boots,more Gearne and a couple of other brands. What i did notice though was some Sidi and TCX boots on sale at the front of the store so after the good lady trying on some Dryriders and not overly impressed i proceeded to the front again and found half a dozen pairs of Sidi and TCX for her to try. These boots were reduced down big time i dont know why. The boxes had a bit of dust on them but the boots inside were real nice. We ended up with a pair of TCX gortex for $240 bucks. Very happy. Finally, i was very disappointed with the lack of brands in these two stores compared to good NZ stores. My observations anyway for what we were shopping for.
