SO, there I was, suckered, again, by bike bandit's most recent sale. Buying a cool weather coat (
http://www.bikebandit.com/fieldsheer-bullet-tx-jacket) I, of course, sneaked a few other needed items into the cart along with the purchase (brake pads, cables...) then I applied the 'bike bucks' (5% of purchases given back as a gift card) And I was ready to mash the big orange go button. Then, I looked again at the AMA member discount button. Well, how much IS membership? How much do you save?
YOU SAVE 10% with an AMA membership at bike bandit.
Take another $10 off my coat please. Give me a free magazine. Give me free roadside assistance. Give me discounts on my insurance. Give me access to the AMA site. I will also break even (haHAHA. At LEAST break even) on bike bandit expenditures over the course of a year. Sounds like a great deal for $39. I saved almost $10 on my jacket alone.
Moral of the story? If you like motorbikes get an AMA membership. Even if you're a Brit, a Kiwi, or God forbid a Canadian... (just kidding, some nice folk come from up there in coldland.) It seems like a hell of a deal.
