Bad324 Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 (edited) In anticipation of actually finding a bike soon I want to go check out and test fit some gear but have no idea where a good place is. Cleveland area preferred but I work in Massillon so Akron/Canton area works too as it can be on my way home from work. Thanks!

Likwid Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 I will make a trip to Iron Pony in Columbus...it's worth the time....if not then I will check out State8 and Ohio Motorcycles in OakwoodI keep going to S8 and OM to find deals and there are none....If you're just looking to try on then yah go ahead and then go home and find it online... probably at Iron Pony.Honestly, echo what Kosmo said, go to Iron Pony.

sandsjbyz22 Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 You can try Harding's Park Cycle in Canton. They have a decent selection of helmets (Shoei, Shark, Arai) and some jackets.Kame's in North Canton on Cleveland Ave. did have some Astars gear and some HJC helmets.But, Like everyone pretty much mentioned you are better off going to Iron Pony.

Bad324 Posted July 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 try it on at a store and buy onlinethat is more than likely what I will do I just want to get a good idea of what sizes I need in everything. I have a good guess what it could be but wanted a place to actually try some things out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can pinch stuff from the closeout rack, then I would pick stuff up from IP. The rest of it you would be well served to find online, but only after you've figured out the fit you want and what you feel comfortable in. Trying to play shipping tag after the fact is no fun, especially if you've already got the bike.Just remember to wear that shit, always.

Zach Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 the selection for "normal sized" guys in the iron pony closeout section is pretty worthless right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some store credit there, so I can't follow my own advice It's worth checking out as their inventory changes so frequently, but what I would consider their 'nice' textile jackets aren't usually available in Large.

IronPony closeout is great if you're a midget or anorexic. Everything is Small or Medium and they run small. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
