"Flagship" Dainese Store In SF

[Lucky_Devil]

It's the "largest Dainese store in the world"... so I decided to stop by this afternoon.  I was impressed with the size of the store.  It was nice to be able to walk around a moto store that you could easily move around in without knocking stuff over because it's so jam packed with stuff.  They're still waiting for more merchandise to arrive though, so it will fill up more (they just opened Monday).







They had a nice sized selection of womens gear as well... leather, textile, 1pc leather suits, and some casual wear 





I met the manager, Shelli, and she mentioned that they plan on having a Grand Opening sale/extravaganza sometime in September.  She also mentioned showing MotoGP races on their giant flat screen monitors at the front of the store on Sundays 

There's even a wee bit of parking in the back

The had two female representatives handing out very nice little flyers for this store at Laguna last weekend. I doubt either of them would fit in anything off the rack. Looks like a beautiful store. I'll have to check it out sometime.

Hear, hear.

Completely unfair. The nearest store is over 250 miles away.

That does look cool, I'll have to check it out when I'm up there again.

I agree, growing up in Napa, the sheer number and quality of roads in Northern California ar impossible to beat, and I have ridden/driven all over the world. There are some more amazing roads (Switzerland/Italy comes to mind) but not with the 99% perfect weather NorCal has...

I will most definitely stop by there the next time I'm in SF

Can they make custom gear there?

The Dainese ad models always look Hiltonish with a bit of aspiring soap opera star thrown in.



Which is OK by me...

It's stuff like this that makes me long for a return to the City. Sure, we got a Cycle Gear up here recently, and they have really good deals when they do their clearance sales, but I miss the variety of stuff available at all times that's just a short ride away. I miss the weather, too. It's 103 today, and will be so for the next 7+ weeks. Having your eyelids audibly 'click' when you blink on your ride home from work is not cool.

Hey, that's right across the street from SF BMW. I recognize it from the shot of the parking lot. Next time I'm there for some parts I'll check it out. Thanks for the tip!

I'll bet that's not a coincidence.  Looks like next time I'm in Oakland I'll have to take a little drive.

Might have to ride down and check it out.  I love--absolutely love--my Dianese-made leather jacket.

Yeah, I love mine, too.  Unfortunately, it was ungodly expensive.  It will be a while before I buck up for another one of these.

100% untrue!
There are no good roads (almost no long straight roads)
THe weather is rotten almost all of the year (Unless you like sun and moderate temps)
And the people are unfriendly

Save yourself and stay away
