On behalf of all little brick and mortar shops, please don't do this.

Small local shops can't compete with the huge online stores as it is. So if you go in there and someone helps you out by finding the right piece of gear for you, then give back to them through your business.

Now, if you go in and their prices are obscenely inflated over what you can get online, see if you can talk them down. If their customer service is nonexistent or they give you a lame reason for having their prices so high, then yeah take your business elsewhere (including online).

My local shops are priced higher than anyone online, but that difference comes from the customer service. I like having someone help me and am willing to pay the premium for their time and knowledge. I have yet to be disappointed when I go into a store for moto gear or parts.
