Accessories International (http://www.accessoryinternational.com/) Discount will vary depending on their markup on individual items. I've been dealing with these guys for more than seven years and have found their prices to be among the best around, even without an MSF discount. They are HONEST and RELIABLE!! Phone them at (888) 725-3679 and speak only to Al (the owner). Identify yourself as a RC and be prepared to fax him a copy of your ID card. | ||||||||||||||||||

Conspicuity
offers distributor prices to Instructors
They have some great stuff including a vest with a retro-reflective American flag on the back. (last one in the first section [Super See Me Vests] at http://www.conspicuityinc.com/ConspicWeb/CatNavFrame1.htm ) They offer discounts not only to us, but also to our students as long as WE are the ones who make the group purchases. I have a complete listing of their discounted prices, but it's too big to put up here. One of these, when I'm feeling energetic, I'll put it up as a a separate page and link this to it. Personally, I LOVE the vest with the flag. It has a permanent home on my riding jacket - they go on and off as a single unit. The discounts run somewhere around 25-30%. Contact info:
847-697-4550. |

Publishing Group
(magazines)
As
a MSF Instructor, I have been receiving two copies, per issue, of two
great motorcycle magazines to share with my students.
The magazine titles are Rider, American
Rider and Cruising Rider.
I find having magazines for students to peruse while
waiting for class to begin is very helpful.
I have also received permission to copy some
articles for my students. This offer is good for all MSF instructors. If anyone else is
interested, the contact person is Let her know which magazines you are interested in
and she will set you up to receive any or all of the magazines. *************************************************** Merlin |

FogTech
advanced anti-fog solution from www.fogtech.com

YOU MUST FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS when you order from the website or the discount will not be calculated: On
the payment page, enter
"Rider Coach" into the box as the coupon name and click
the button. That is important. If you don’t click the
button and just go next, you will not see the discount. PLEASE DON'T PASS THIS DISCOUNT INFO TO ANYONE OUTSIDE THE RIDER-COACH COMMUNITY Contact Gene Menzies (gene@motosolutions.com). 2/21/2011: Just to let you know I went to place an order with FogTech, followed the instructions but when I went to check out I got a message that read “this discount has expired”. I emailed “Gene Menzies” about the discount. He contacted me and said yes the discount had expired and he hadn’t renewed it since no one asked. Since I asked…he renewed it. I placed my order on 2/21/2011 and received the Ridercoach discount. |
