Tale #14 - Why Shop Local?
Why Shopping Local at Sully’s Ride Shop Beats Prime Day Deals Every Time
We understand the appeal of Prime Day. A flashy discount and fast shipping can be hard to resist. But when it comes to your safety and your family’s, that “deal” might come at a much higher cost than you think.
At Sully’s Ride Shop, we are more than just a store. We are riders, parents, and gearheads who care deeply about the quality and safety of what we sell. Our mission is to make sure every customer walks away with gear that is safe, certified, and perfectly suited to their needs.
The Hidden Risk of Online Marketplaces
In July 2025, over 200,000 motorcycle helmets were recalled by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission because they failed to provide sufficient protection in the event of a crash. Many of these helmets were sold online, including through major marketplaces like Amazon. This is not just a one-time issue—Consumer Reports has also applauded recent rulings that hold Amazon accountable for distributing hazardous products sold by third-party sellers.
When you buy from a massive online marketplace, you may be getting a product that looks legitimate but lacks proper safety certification or quality control. That’s a risk no rider should take.
