I think the best thing is to find a good dealer. A dealer with the customers interest at heart. They're not all stealers.
I've found that regularly visiting your dealer and buying stuff from him rather than shopping the net to save a few bucks costs you more in the long run.
Especially here in Canada when you go in the off season you can get some real good deals on stuff, much better than you can find on the net where they'll knock 10-15% off retail. Thing is you have to go and see whats available.
For example last winter I picked up three First Gear Vortex jackets retail price $199.95 US for $99 Can ( about $77US) and a Joe Rocket Santa Fe Retail price about $189Us for $99 Can.
