Hi Skyrider

My understanding is that the address is only required as a place to send the rego papers and that you don't have to prove residence. I don't know this for sure however, but will find out in a couple of months!

Also this is my understanding for California, and may be different for other states.

Mollydog offered a great suggestion about Chaparral Motorsport store. I don't know where you're staying once you get to California. However, it is not just east of Los Angeles. Its about 60 miles away and we don't count mileage as a way to get around but the amount of time its take to get from one place to another.

So as another suggestion, check out Cycle Gear online as well and they have many stores in California for you to pick up your items.

Hi Damon,
the bikes in San Diego - I'm heading to Sturgis with a mate then into Canada and back down the coast.

I'm no longer a fan of Cycle Gear for riding gear. Nowadays they only carry their "in house" brands: BILT and Sedeci. It's mostly crap. Cheap prices but cheaply made, worst of the Cheap Chinese stuff, IMHO.
As most of us know ... there is so much more out there.
First Gear
Tourmaster
Alpinestar
Ikon
Rev' It
Fieldsheer
Dainese
and a ton more.

Chapparral is along the i-10 freeway. They will be heading EAST out of San Diego, so they are pointed pretty much straight to Chapparral in San Bernadino. Right off freeway. Motorcycle shopper's paradise. :thumbup1:
It's like a CostCo store ... but ALL bike stuff. :thumbup1:

Chapparral sounds like a really cool Toys-R-Us for grownups!!!
