Mike you need to shop around for honda parts.
Each dealership has their own parts. For me the local honda dealer cost 20% MORE then the local Acura dealership for the same friggin part. However the honda dealer 20 miles away has parts cheaper then both of them.
Each shop sets their own prices. You can (just like buying a car) talk their prices down. I go to the local place and tell them stright up You're local for me but the out of area Honda dealer has much better prices, will you match theirs or do I need to take my money over there?
On another note, I bet you're very glad you were wearing full gear when you went down.
I was wearing a helmet, leather jacket, jeans, and skate shoes. I'll never wear skate shoes on a motorcycle ever again. Most of my "roadrash" is on each of my ankles. Boots from now on for me. The jeans actually held up really well, until the firefighters cut them off. I only had one spot on mt leg that needed a couple of stitches, but nothing big otherwise. Definitely never wearing skate shoes again though.
On another note. I am talking online prices too when I get quotes. The dealers just add on to what is already a ripoff for acura parts. Case in point, I went to the honda dealer to get a boot for the lower ball joint on the front lca for my integra. The acura part was $16 and they had to order it. So I got one for a 92 civic, which, btw fit just fine, and it only cost me $6. The dealership is lame. I just buy off of Acuraparts.net, or HondaAutomotiveparts.com. And they wouldn't pricematch.
To blanco. I daily drove my R6 for the last 4 months. Before that, I rode a beat to crap 91 honda cbr600 hurricane for nearly three years. Why? Because I let my girlfriend drive my cars. One 89 mazda 626, which she rolled, and my 91 integra which broke down on her, and I am just now getting around to getting it back on the road. I was just saying that girls notice the bikes. I've only given rides to like 3 of my good friends.
To stay on topic, the only thing going for the new Si, is the performance aspect. I think it looks okay, but if I can get a type s for nearly the same price, I'm going to do that instead, because, it's just a class up in terms of luxury. It's just a better car IMO.
