Stopped in today for a spark plug. After Parts guy asks me what I need and what bike he disappears out back. Walking passed the spark plugs. Two minutes later old parts guy appears. Asks me what I need and what kind of bike. Brings up a spark plug then tells me I don't want it and he'll get me an alternative plug. Picks out a few other plugs, then tells me all about threads, heat ratings, coatings, torque, and asks me if I ride all flat out racing. The alternative plug is not iridium like the spec and recommended plug. He tells me the honda spec plug is $43.00. The plug that I've looked up online last night which retails for Retail: $21.69 http://www.motosport.com/motorcycle/oem-parts/HONDA/2007/CRF250R/CYLINDER-HEAD/SPARK-PLUG-%28R0409B_8%29-%28NGK%29/31911-KRN-731.
Double the price trying to support a local business. Obviously I didn't buy from GBM, and I'll save myself the trip and trouble in the future.
