What I do is take a day and go for a ride to the stores in the area and check the sales rack, this is now getting close to the end of the season.
I have hit up 5 to 6 stores in one day, if you find nothing, well you had a nice day of riding. Also the stores in my area use CL to list end of stock and one offs.

There should be an annoying poll that bumps this to the top of the unread section every 2 minutes depicting the different rankings for ninjetters. Bell curve?

ok, so I was at 19. This summer, I bought leather gauntlets. That puts me up at 22.
I just bought a Scorpion EXO1000. That's a $300+ helmet, got it for $100 that adds another 4 points onto my score right? So now I'm on 26. Working on a leather one-piece suit that will boost my score further. |

I got an 18, but that's only because I'm poor. Otherwise, I'd definitely be a gear whore.
