So I was really surprised by this... I moved to Muskogee, OK last year, and as I drove around town I saw this store in what looked like an old Kmart building or some such... a store called Walls. As I looked through the window driving by, it looked to me like a low budget Ross store... racks of hunting and pecking for a shirt that would fit. Well, I never went in. So I was looking for a helmet for my wife, and I was searching on facebook groups in Tulsa, and someone mentioned that they had helmets??? Weird, says I, but hey, let's walk in and see.
Well, yes, it's a lot like Ross...but they have a fairly extensive section of motorcycle helmets, jackets, boots, gloves, and a little "misc mechanical stuff for motorcycles" too! Holy cow! And like Ross, you're hunting and pecking and you PROBABLY won't find exactly what you want. But she didn't care what color her helmet was, just that she got a helmet that was nice, and new, and safe, and comfortable. I get her a new Shoei RF1200 for $250. They had a Mark Marquez RF1200 for 300 bucks...but it was a large, not an XL, so I didn't get it. They probably had 30-40 Shoei helmets, a few dozen Bells, some Icons, LSR, and a few other brands. Probably 100 jackets, dozens of gloves... Anyway, if you're a bargain hunter like me, it was a great and totally unexpected find. I'll be going back to search around more... like a lot of secondary market small lot bargain places, I think their inventory turns around a lot. I think the closest shop to Texas is in Ada, OK or in McAlester, OK... No online shopping.
