Yep!!!!
I never buy a product online that I have sized, inspected or examined at my local dealer, unless the dealer cannot supply the size I need. It's unethical!

Online Purchase
I have done both -- purchased on line and purchased at the dealer. There are times where you just can't find what it is you're looking for unless you check the inter web but for the most part, I try to give my dealer as much business as I can. Why? Not because it's not ethical -- but because I value having a dealer in close proximity and I have a relationship with him and his team. If they were piss poor, that might change my view but I think they provide one of the highest levels of service and customer care of any BMW dealer I've dealt with. For a hobby that I love as much as motorcycling, I don't want my dealer relationship to just be transactional -- I want him to care about me and so I have to care about him.
