If you wanted to take a week's vacation, or a long weekend, and test out rides, you could go to the Hostell Shoppe near Oshkosh, Wi, or to Minneapolis to Calhoun Cycles.
Thanks for the leads. I would assume Chicago would have a dealership for nearly everything. Perhaps I need to open a dealership here. At least I wouldn't have any competition but educating the public might be an uphill climb.
