Commonly used websites for purchases and meetups?

Hey all,
Being quite new to the forum (and scooting in general), I thought it might be helpful to have a list of all the different websites that people use either to purchase aftermarket products or to find a meet-up point.

http://www.powerbypcx.com gear
http://www.revzilla.com in the US, and
http://www.scooter.meetup.com communal rides.

I'll see something in a thread and forget to write it down, and then want to go back to it later but to no avail!

Anyone interested in adding to this list?

I like http://www.motorcyclesuperstore.com but have also gotten stuff from http://www.bikebandit.com and https://www.denniskirk.com with no problems.

I like this idea. When I was new to riding I wish I knew of recommended places to shop, or at least the very names of shops. Let's see, two good stores are mentioned already. Here's two more: http://www.motorcyclegear.com
http://www.compacc.com
And for cycle wear and gear reviews:
http://www.webbikeworld.com

How do you bookmark something if you don't know it exists?

You don't.
But you do use them to save stuff for later which is what the op was struggling with.

I do save all the site addresses, but the intent was to find new sites that other members have used and trust.

I'm wondering if anyone ever used this auxiliary gas tank ( :? not that I will be anytime soon), but thought I'd inquire/share this link just the same. They appear well built for that special journey you might be planning or even a super journey like member pozo took: "Across the U.S. and Back" (so impressed by him ;)
While there, check out their other related products too, geez.....this stuff looks battle ready!

Funny... I have something that looks *exactly* like that, but it's most often used at the occasional sporting event, or on Halloween night when corralling a dozen 10 year olds on the block, and it ain't filled with regular!
