The north side of Indianapolis has needed a good gear shop for a long time. Sure, you can go to a dealership and browse their minimal selection of gear but selling gear is not a bike shop's main priority. There is also a shop on the south-side of Indy but we needed a shop that wasn't all moto cross or power ranger sport bike gear. Something for the other riders. The kind that like matte black paint and classic black leather. Vintage style gear with modern day protection.
In 2013, City Moto answered that call and opened it's doors to Indy's growing population of motorcyclists. Located on the northeast corner of 49th and College Ave, the shop sells brands ranging from: BELL, Vanson Leathers and Belstaff to Corazzo, Rev'It, and Biltwell Inc. Recently, they started carrying the ICON 1000 line, (just in time for the 2nd Annual Indy Mad Max Run).
You can pick up damn near anything you need for your ride.
When you see a vintage Ducati in a store window, you know it's a cool shop.
Flyers for local races and events.
Some kick ass heavy weight belt buckles made by a local member of the Ton Up Club.
Lids ranging from vintage style open face to full face and race ready.
If they don't have it in stock, chances are Joe can get it for you.
City Moto doesn't just cater to us on two (legs that is), they also hold a yearly silent auction / fund raiser to benefit the low-cost spay and neuter shelter, FACE. The auction features some great custom painted helmets.
Click over to their Facebook page, website or better yet, swing a leg over your bike and ride there.

Wow, that looks like a super cool shop! I'd love to find a place like that near me.
Lucky-

I am strongly considering throwing down the cash for the ICON Elsinore boots.
