When I bought my bike (this spring) I went on the internet and found the lowest OTD price I could find in CA. I then called that dealer and asked how much it would cost to ship the bike to Fresno. With that price in hand I went to our local dealer and told him I really wanted to support our local businesses but I also wanted to get the best deal possible. I asked him if he could meet the price plus shipping. He said he couldn't meet that price but he could come close ~~ close was good enough for me. I was OTD at $8150 ~~ and I got the $500 in free gear.
