    I believe Sensei's problem was caused by the shop staff member (possibly an owner of the business?) lacking product knowledge. The Arai importer resolved the situation immediately once advised .

    The Hamilton Motorcycle Centre not advertising Arai was more surprising to me, because when I bought mine there were certificates on the wall confirming that the staff had received Arai training.

    Those that want to "Support Local" are free to do so. Those wanting to do so ... and don't (due to the cost) are possibly just realistic. There are plenty of things I'd like to do (regarding whom I would like to support with my purchases)... but I can't afford to ... so I don't. And I offer no apology that I can't afford it. (Even if I could ... I may not either )

    I DO however support those that support ME ... in whatever respect they can. Sometimes to my cost.
