I need to buy riding gear, helmet, jacket, gloves ect. Problem is, all of the shops around me are either small and/or don't carry alot of accessories. Its important that I try things on to get a good fit, especially the helmet. I rather avoid buying online, due to the possibility of having to make multiple returns, then waiting for new gear to arrive, only to possibility repeat this cycle over and over again. So it looks like a road trip is in my future. Can anyone suggest some large shops that I can visit within driving distance from Northeast PA. I don't mind driving 3 or 4 hours, to get the gear I need. I appreciate any suggestions you can give me.
Where to buy gear in NE PA

Two dealers near me that are both fairly large are Montgomeryville Cycle and Scott's Powersports. Here's a link to Scott's Scott Powersports, the Lehigh Valley's largest Powersports Dealership. Serving Quakertown, Over 300 motorcycles & ATVs IN STOCK! and a link to Montgomeryville MONTGOMERYVILLE CYCLE CENTER HATFIELD, PA (215) 712-7433
I haven't bought any gear from them, but they are both large dealers and carry a lot of equipment. I usually order my stuff online.
Good to know. Have watched demo videos by those guys and had no idea it was in Philly (my hometown btw). I live about 40 miles north now. I'll have to bookmark their site and see what kind of deals they have.
Yeah, I was going to ask about Cycle Gear. I see they have a store in Allentown, which is only about a hour away from me.
Wow, all kinds of good info came from this post. Found out Revzilla is close by and Cycle Gear is in Atown (where I work). I've ordered from Cycle Gear, but didn't know they had a store nearby.
A lot of info is right. Searched for Cycle Gear to see where in Allentown since I'm up that way a good bit, found out they are opening a store in Harrisburg less than 5 miles from my house. Seems I'll have to make the long trek.
I'll have to stop in there some time. I've bought a jacket, boots and helmet from cycle gear. Love all the stuff I've gotten from them.

If you order from Sportbike Track Gear, they will allow you to return a helmet for free, cost of shipping on them, and you don't pay a restocking fee. My first choice is Revzilla, since I get everything next day (Chambersburg), second choice is STG. I also use Motorcycle Gear, but they are in TX, and take longer. I order from them if I know the exact size that I need. They usually have old (past styles) gear much cheaper. Also worth looking into.

You're a lucky man, I've been shopping w/these guys for over a year and they always deliver great service. I'm on the west coast so my only option is shopping online but they do have the best selection. Wish I had the luxury to show up and try on the gear before buying. Good luck and post some pics of your purchase!
Revzilla is awesome.. bought gear from them and got full return even after 60+ days (on 2 separate occasions).
Most my gear however is from Cycle gear, if you keep your eye out they have good deals on the top name stuff. I wouldn't buy bilt stuff for anything anymore, it all falls apart... yea great CG will replace it, still not worth a trip to CG every month to get new Bilt gear.

I have a Bilt Fusion Helmet, Bilt Race boots and a Bilt race jacket and have had no problems with anything as of yet. Guess I am just lucky.
