Check out Motoprimo in Lakeville. They have one of the better selections. Bobs in Roseville also has a good selection of leathers and race boots. While at motoprimo you could stop by Leo's South as they are next to each other. Those three are your best bet for race type gear. Dennis Kirk is north of the cities about an hour and a half if you get frisky. Not really easy to try stuff out there though.

Cities Edge in shakapoee might be worth a nod too. Motoprimo and Bobs are the only ones that will carry much in the way of boots though. Even those will be rather limited. Bobs carries Sidi and some A*. I think Primo has some Sidi and Dianese.

I made it to Motoprimo and Leos South. Left a lot of drool on the floor.Ducatis galore & triumphs at Motoprimo & Aprilias and Motoguzzis and BMWs at Leos. Then I ran out of time I had a hard time leaving Motoprimo without taking a 959 Panigale home with me.
Motoprimo had some higher end race style gloves Im glad I had the chance to try 'em on. Not much for race boots at either shop. Next time I get the chance Ill go up to Bobs for sure. |
