I've compiled the following list of discounts offered to MSF Instructors. This info came from email messages to the list, and I take no responsibility for accuracy.
If you find any of this information to be inaccurate, or if you know of other discounts available to us, please email me at marc@shadowriders.org
| 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. |
||||||||||||||||
| Custom Dynamics (http://www.customdynamics.com) 10% discount on their custom motorcycle lights. Either place your order by phone (919-554-0949) or call them for a discount code to use when ordering on-line. | ||||||||||||||||

| If you have a local Cycle Gear
store, they will offer 35% discount on select items (I believe they said tires and jackets didn't count for 35%) for card-carrying instructors. Conflicting info, but good either way: Cycle Gear gives a 30% discount on everything except tires |
||||||||||||||||
| Draggin'
Jeans is offering us a discount of up to 30%; the
exact amount will depend on the item ordered. Contact them toll-free
at (877) 372-4446. Because this is a really significant discount, they will be verifying that those ordering have CURRENT MSF status, so be prepared to give them your id number. When I spoke with them, they said they had no objection to an instructor buying for an immediate family member, but they want to control this to the point that we're not buying them for other people. |

| We also get a standing discount @ http://www.electricalconnection.com/ they give 15%-20% plus free shipping. Good products, I deal with Lewis over there |

As
a MSF Instructor, I have been receiving two copies, per issue, of two great motorcycle magazines to share with my students.

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 |
