?dual sport shop very near Ride West

Going to Seattle for the weekend and was going to do a bit of helmet shopping. Was hoping for a recommendation for a good dirt bike shop near Ride West to get a new helmet for my KTM 640 adv.

Thanks.

How close is "close"? Seattle Cycle Center near 100th and Aurora has a good selection of helmets and dirt stuff. Good people, too

No, they (Seattle Cycle Center) don't. I was just there a few days ago and they have next to zero off road clothing and helmets. Zero!

You want to go to Lynnwood Motoplex (KTM) 17900 Hwy 99 800 774-0507

Or Bent Bike they have hundreds of helmets. 18327 Hwy 99 (425) 776-9157

Or Cycle Barn, they have a pretty good selection of off road clothing and helmets. Lynnwood 17222 Highway 99 (425) 774-3538

Aurora is Highway 99.

Lake City Powersports is just a mile or two down the road from Ride West (I'm not sure of their selection, never really liked the place)

and Aurora Suzuki is a few miles directly west (they just expanded, doubling their space)

Their off road stuff is in the basement, did you look there? ( I haven't looked in awhile so I don't know)

Cycle Barn in Lynnwood has the best selection of most everything, I would go there

Plus, they have the cutest girls

We sure did look in the basement. I have closets that are larger than their basement. I own more off road gear than they had in stock. No kidding. It was sad. They cater to the street crowd.

After ride west, went to cycle barn (Shoei helmet, goggles, gloves) and then ktm shop (clutch cable). The addresses you guys posted made for quick and easy directions on google.

I stand (or sit, in this case) corrected
