The Jacket-Quidick fiasco with RideGear.com

I think I started the below post in April. It is about a bad online purchase made on March 30th and not resolved until June 20th! A three month fiasco finally resolved.

Like Joker, I am experiencing my own online shopping grief! I was advertising for RideGear.com here at RoadCaptainUSA and decided to test them out. I wanted to get a yellow and black jacket as an RC USA theme jacket. I saw an advertisement in a magazine for the Tour Master Pivot 2 textile jacket. It is windproof, waterproof, vented, has a polyfill removable liner and has CE approved armour. It also has a number of useful pockets. I ordered the jacket from RideGear on March 30th and got an e-mail that said I would be notified when the item shipped.

So when I did not get the jacket I ordered from RideGear.com I turned to Dennis Kirk. The website showed that they had 2 in stock. [Read more →]

eBay and eBay Motors - a great resource for motorcycle parts, gear and accessories - new or used

Click here for eBay Motors!


eBay is a valuable resource for finding motorcycle parts, accessories and apparel. My wife bought her 2001 Harley Davidson 883 Sportster on eBay. It was her first eBay purchase. The Sportster was advertised on eBay by American Classic Motors in Zieglerville, PA. The motorcycle was in excellent condition. My only complaint is the oil in the bike was very black and filled up too high. Besides that our experience with American Classic Motors was good and she loves the motorcycle.
