    OK a few months ahead of myself. But a few questions.

    The main one is how is the best way to look for bike shops around An area you are staying when in the US. I'm not aware of a Online yellow pages for the US

    Thinking of finding a few dealers around the Orlando area and when the wife's having a pool day, to pop off and see what I can buy myself. just want to try and find some recommended dealers before I go

    Also popping to Daytona on one of these days and also sticking y head in Daytona Speedway as I know they do tours around the circuit.
    just thinking I can buy stuff over there and Ship it back to myself as a gift. ;)

    I'd quite like one of those hand held mini guns that Giv' posted, if you've got room in your suitcase, Matt.

    I'd lurk on one of the US based 'Blade forums, mate. That way you'll get the skinny on them as well as the locations.

    If you've hired a villa/apartment you can always get the gear posted to the address whilst you're out there.
